Introduction: This prospective, observational study investigated the impact of patient/anesthesiologist interactions and socioeconomic factors on administering intravenous analgesics and anxiolytics during elective Cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. The study explored the role of emotional experiences and psychosocial characteristics on intraoperative administration of intravenous adjuncts.
Methods: The study included 502 patient/anesthesiologist dyads from two hospitals in Israel.
Background: Traditionally, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been performed under moderate sedation and local pharyngeal anesthesia. Respiratory complications during the TEE can occur.
Objectives: To test the effectiveness of low-dose midazolam combined with verbal sedation during TEE.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate sex-based differences in outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who underwent recanalization treatments at a medical center in Israel between 2011 and 2020.
- Researchers analyzed data from 811 patients, finding that women had higher mean age and more severe conditions compared to men, but both sexes had similar outcomes despite women presenting with more risk factors.
- The study concluded that while women had more severe symptoms, there were no significant differences in outcomes between sexes, highlighting the importance of managing risk factors to reduce stroke-related issues for both genders.
Background: Efforts to mitigate the risk for perioperative cardiac events focus on both patient's and operation's risk and often include a preprocedural electrocardiogram (ECG). The merits of postprocedural ECG for detection of occult cardiac events occurring during surgery are unknown. We aim to explore the incidence of pre, and new postprocedural ECG pathologies in an intermediate-high risk population undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

- A study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of thrombolytic treatment (IVTPA) in patients with wake-up acute ischemic strokes, based on their normal non-contrast brain CT scans.* -
- The retrospective analysis included 306 patients, with 27 having wake-up strokes; outcomes such as discharge rates and in-hospital mortality were comparable between the two groups.* -
- The results suggest it's safe to administer IVTPA to wake-up stroke patients, proposing that treatment eligibility might be extended beyond the usual 4.5 hours for those with normal brain scans after a witnessed stroke.*
