Neuropathic pain is a pervasive health concern worldwide, posing significant challenges to both clinicians and neuroscientists. While acute pain serves as a warning signal for potential tissue damage, neuropathic pain represents a chronic pathological condition resulting from injury or disease affecting sensory pathways of the nervous system. Neuropathic pain is characterized by long-lasting ipsilateral hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to pain), allodynia (pain sensation in response to stimuli that are not normally painful), and spontaneous unprovoked pain.

Purpose: To report long-term motor and sensory outcomes after unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus resection for infantile constant exotropia.
Methods: The medical records of patients who had undergone unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus resection for infantile constant exotropia who were followed up postoperatively for a minimum of 4 years were reviewed retrospectively.
Results: A total of 20 patients were included.

Background: Regional anesthesia techniques that provide analgesia to the entire lateral abdomen are limited. We present a modified external oblique intercostal block for complete lateral abdominal analgesia with a single injection.
Case: We performed a modified version of the external oblique intercostal block unilaterally at the tenth rib along the mid-axillary line in three patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (two single injections, one catheter placement) and tested the technique on a cadaver with 20 ml of dye bilaterally.

CZ1S injection is a novel, extended-release local anaesthetic formulation of ropivacaine, classified as a type 2.2 new drug, with potential for post-operative analgesia by subcutaneous infiltration and peripheral nerve blockade. This study aimed to validate the superior properties of CZ1S over ropivacaine hydrochloride injection and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of a single dose of brachial plexus block with CZ1S in healthy Chinese adults.

Dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) play a crucial role in controlling animals' orienting and approach behaviors toward relevant environmental stimuli. The ventral midbrain receives sensory input from the superior colliculus (SC), a tectal region processing information from contralateral receptive fields of various modalities. Given the significant influence of dopamine release imbalance in the left and right striatum on animals' movement direction, our study aimed to investigate the lateralization of the connection between the lateral SC and the midbrain DA system in male rats.
