Continuous serratus anterior block for sternotomy analgesia after cardiac surgery: a single-centre feasibility study.

Background: Moderate-to-severe pain is common after cardiac surgery, peaking during the first and second postoperative days. Several nerve blocks for sternotomy have been described; however, the optimal location for continuous catheters has not been established. This study assessed the feasibility of a larger trial evaluating the efficacy of serratus anterior plane (SAP) catheter analgesia for sternotomy pain.

Recruitment and retention of new doctors in remote and Aboriginal medical services through the Remote Vocational Training Scheme's Targeted Recruitment Strategy: a focus group study.

Objective: To explore the results of a targeted recruitment strategy designed to attract and retain new doctors in remote and Aboriginal medical services where they can access Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS) training and support to qualify as general practitioners.

Study Design: Two 2-hour purposeful online focus groups on the RVTS' Targeted Recruitment Strategy.

Setting And Participants: Five participants and nine stakeholders with knowledge and experience of the strategy.

Exploring the Nexus of Steroidal Hormone Receptor, Uterine VEGF Expression and NADPH-d Interaction in Buffalo Uterus During Oestrous Cycle With Seasonal Variation.

The reproductive efficiency in buffalo is highly influenced by seasonal variability. Angiogenesis in the reproductive cycle is important for optimal physiological functioning of uterus. Estrogen receptor-α (ERα), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphatase diaphorase (NADPH-d) are vital indicators for the uterine angiogenic process.
