Introduction/objective: Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is an extremely painful condition without an established treatment other than symptom-suppressive medications or temporary relief from corticosteroid injections. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have demonstrated the ability to enhance healing and reduce inflammation and pain without side effects. Our objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-guided foramen ovale MSC injection in the treatment of TN.

Perioperative management of patients with mediastinal masses still poses a challenge for the anesthesiologist, as the use of general anesthesia can be associated with acute perioperative cardiorespiratory impairment resulting from the mass collapsing on the airway or vascular structures. Dexmedetomidine can be used for procedural sedation due to its reversible sedative and anxiolytic properties with dose-dependent effects, while not interfering with ventilatory drive. These features are of particular interest for the perioperative management of patients with large anterior mediastinal masses.

Background: Patient-maintained propofol TCI sedation (PMPS) allows patients to titrate their own target-controlled infusion (TCI) delivery of propofol sedation using a handheld button. The aim of this RCT was to compare PMPS with anaesthetist-controlled propofol TCI sedation (ACPS) in patients undergoing elective primary lower-limb arthroplasty surgery under spinal anaesthesia.
Methods: In this single-centre open-label investigator-led study, adult patients were randomly assigned to either PMPS or ACPS during their surgery.
