Article Synopsis
- This study compared the effectiveness of the intertransverse process block (ITPB) and the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for pain management in female patients undergoing unilateral breast cancer surgery.
- Conducted in a tertiary hospital in China, the research included 68 participants and utilized a randomized, blinded, active-controlled design, assessing pain relief based on blocked dermatomes and pain scores post-surgery.
- Results showed that the ITPB significantly outperformed the ESPB, with a higher median number of blocked dermatomes and lower pain scores, indicating better pain management for patients who received the ITPB.
Background: A brachial plexus block plays an important role in providing perioperative analgesia for shoulder surgery; however, the inherent risk of phrenic nerve block and resulting hemidiaphragmatic paralysis may limit its use in patients with compromised pulmonary function. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, maximum tolerated volume, and optimal biologic volume of 0.5% ropivacaine used in a single-injection retroclavicular brachial plexus block for arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Methods: Eighty-eight females who underwent mastectomy plus sentinel or axillary lymph node dissection were randomized to receive either intertransverse process block or thoracic paravertebral block, both performed at T2-6 with 5 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine per level.
Objectives: Using quantitative coronary angiography (QCA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), histomorphometry, and pharmacokinetics, this study tried to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Biomagic rapamycin-eluting bioabsorbable scaffold (BVS) in non-atherosclerotic porcine coronary arteries.
Background: Biomagic BVS is a new generation of thin-strut bioabsorbable scaffold. We conducted comparative study detailing pathological response, safety and efficacy of Biomagic BVS and the Firebird2 rapamycin-eluting cobalt-based alloy stent (DES) in a porcine coronary artery model.
Background: Although interscalene nerve block is the standard for shoulder analgesia, the risk of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis restricts its use in patients with compromised pulmonary function. We hypothesized that a novel subparaneural upper trunk block would provide noninferior postoperative analgesia but superior diaphragmatic sparing effect compared to interscalene block.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial comprised 96 patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery under either subparaneural upper trunk block (5 mL of 0.
