Background: Pain management is a critical part of treatment in patients with chest trauma. Opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been the most commonly used medications. However, their side effects have drawn attention to other medications.

Background: The obesity epidemic has led to an increased number of adolescents requiring metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), but there is paucity of data on the impact of implementing all aspects of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols to improve outcomes in this population.

Methods: We implemented a comprehensive ERAS pathway for adolescents undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Key elements included pre-operative fasting with carbohydrate loading in the morning of surgery, comprehensive anti-emetic and analgesic regimens including intra-operative lidocaine infusion (initiated before formal ERAS launch), regional anesthesia, and early goal-directed ambulation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients who underwent endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies (EBMT), focusing on the impact of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1) antagonists on PONV rates.
  • Out of 404 patients, 62.6% experienced PONV, with significant differences in rates between those who received NK-1 antagonists (35%) and those who did not (74%).
  • The findings suggest that using NK-1 antagonists as part of a comprehensive approach to prevent PONV significantly lowers the likelihood of this adverse event in patients recovering from EBMT.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers identified PANDAR, a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), as significantly up-regulated in APCs of individuals with obesity, particularly those transitioning from normal glucose tolerance to impaired glucose tolerance or T2D.
  • * Silencing PANDAR in senescent APCs appears to reverse senescence and enable cell cycle re-entry, suggesting that targeting PANDAR may offer a new approach to prevent or delay the progression toward T2D in obese patients.
