Previous studies have demonstrated that anesthetic techniques can affect the outcomes of cancer surgery. We investigated the association between anesthetic techniques and patient outcomes after elective limb-salvage surgery for osteosarcoma (OS). This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent elective limb-salvage surgery for OS between January 2007 and December 2018.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of remifentanil and midazolam for sedation during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies, assessing comfort and pain levels.
  • It involves a randomized trial with two groups, receiving different concentrations of remifentanil to find the optimal level for patient comfort while monitoring vital signs.
  • Results showed that higher remifentanil concentrations reduced movement during the procedure, but lower concentrations resulted in fewer instances of desaturation and lower remifentanil use overall.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how different anesthetic techniques (propofol vs desflurane) affect outcomes in elective ovarian cancer surgeries.
  • A total of 165 patients who received desflurane and 119 who received propofol were analyzed, with propofol showing better survival rates post-surgery.
  • Propofol anesthesia was linked to lower rates of postoperative recurrence and metastasis, suggesting its potential benefits in oncological settings, warranting further prospective studies.

Background: Until now, target-controlled infusion of remifentanil with midazolam in percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty for dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas has not been described. Here, we investigate 2 effect-site concentrations of remifentanil with intermittent bolus midazolam for percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty under monitored anesthesia care.

Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial including patients who received a percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty between March 2019 and March 2021 was conducted.

Background: Previous research has shown that anesthetic techniques can influence patient outcomes following cancer surgery. However, the effects of anesthesia in patients undergoing glioblastoma surgery are still not known. We studied the relationship between the type of anesthesia and patient outcomes following elective glioblastoma surgery.

Objective: To grasp the endemic situation of schistosomiasis in Jingzhou City in 2017, so as to provide the evidence for formulating prevention strategies.

Methods: According to the requirements of (), () and , the local population infection monitoring, mobile population infection monitoring, livestock disease monitoring, snail monitoring, and wild manure monitoring were carried out at 71 monitoring sites throughout the city.

Results: Among the 71 surveillance sites, 44 118 local residents received the indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) for schistosomiasis and 1 925 persons were positive, with the positive rate of 4.

Objective: Through the observation, analysis, and treatment to lots of clinical patients with unusual feeling symptom of pharynx (UFSP), followed by the functional examination of autonomic nerve, putting forward the clinical classify and therapy of UFSP.

Methods: Through the clinical history inquired, routine examination, 24 hours pH value determined of esophagus, erect experiment, and coefficient of variation of the R-R(CVR-R) examination of electrocardiogram etc, divided the UFSP into two types: the type of pathogeny clear and the type of pathogeny unclear. The clear-type was further classified into five subtypes: the type of a mental scar, the type of morbid state of mind, the type of reflux esophagitis, the type of climacteric syndrome and menstrual disorder, and the type of functional disturbance of independence nerve.
