Background: Influence of the type of anesthesia on postoperative delirium was examined in geriatric patients with femoral neck fracture.
Methods: Forty patients aged 70 or more were randomly allocated to receive either general anesthesia (sevoflurane, nitrous oxide in oxygen, G group, n = 21) or spinal anesthesia (0.5% bupivacaine, S group, n = 19). G group received the oxygen therapy during the 12-hour postoperative period. Postoperative assessments included the rate of postoperative delirium during the 4-day postoperative period, oxygen saturation during the 18-hour postoperative period, the value of hemoglobin at 1 postoperative day and the number of analgesics requirements during the 4-day postoperative period.
Results: The rate of postoperative delirium was similar between the two groups during the 4-day postoperative period. However, that of S group tended to be higher during the 1-day postoperative period. Postoperative analgesic effect and the value of hemoglobin at 1 postoperative day were similar between the two groups. Oxygen saturation was similar between the two groups except 6 hours after the operation.
Conclusions: The type of anesthesia, general or spinal, does not affect the postoperative delirium in geriatric patients with femoral neck fracture.

Background: This review aimed to assess if the use of dexmedetomidine as an additive to local anesthetics promotes greater safety and efficacy than local anesthetics alone in dental procedures.
Material And Methods: the systematic review was structured according to the PICO strategy and adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Studies were included based on the eligibility criteria, and data from the included studies were collected by one author.

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.

Background: The high prevalence and prolonged duration of inflow pain and drain pain experienced by peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients following PD catheter implantation impact their quality of life. However, there is limited data on the frequency and predisposing factors of these pains in the Chinese population undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
Methods: This study encompassed individuals who underwent peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation at our institution from September 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

This study aimed to investigate the role of myosteatosis, sarcopenia, and perioperative serum biomarkers as independent predictors of major complications within 180 days following radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). We retrospectively analyzed of 127 MIBC patients who underwent RC between 2013 and 2023 at a single institution. Preoperative body composition was assessed using CT scans at the L3 vertebral level to measure psoas muscle density (PMD), skeletal muscle density (SMD), axial muscle density (AMD), and muscle indices.

Optimal fluid strategy for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) remains unclear. LDN has been a domain for liberal fluid management to ensure graft perfusion, but this can result in adverse outcomes due to fluid overload. We compared postoperative outcome of living kidney donors according to the intraoperative fluid management.
