Purpose: This study compared the intraoperative changes in the corrected QT dispersion and heart rate variability, predictors of autonomic cardiac function, in laparotomic and laparoscopic adnexal surgery.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 46 American Society of Anaesthesiologists class I/II patients, aged 33-51 years, randomized to one of two groups, for elective gynecologic laparotomy or laparoscopy for a benign adnexal mass. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with sevoflurane. Corrected QT dispersion and spectral powers of heart rate variability were measured at baseline, before the induction of anesthesia, and intraoperatively during the adnexal surgery for 15 minutes. The lithotomy and Trendelenburg positions were set at 145 degrees and 30 degrees between thigh and body, respectively. Pneunoperitoneum was established at 12 mm Hg. Laparoscopic surgery was performed via one principal and two ancillary ports. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.
Results: A significant increase was observed in intraoperative standard deviation of RR interval values of heart rate variability in both groups compared to preoperative values (P < 0.05). The corrected QT dispersion and low and high frequency heart rate variability showed no significant changes between the two groups.
Conclusion: Gynecologic laparoscopy with pneumoperitoneum in the lithotomy and Trendelenburg positions is as safe as laparatomy and seems not to deteriorate the autonomic cardiac function.

Preterm births constitute a major public health issue and a chronic, cross-generational condition globally. Psychological and biological factors interact in a way that women from low socio-economic status (SES) are disproportionally affected by preterm delivery and at increased risk for the development of perinatal mental health problems. Low SES constitutes one of the most evident contributors to poor neurodevelopment of preterm infants.

Background: Motor imagery is the mental representation of a movement without physical execution. When motor imagery is performed to enhance motor learning and performance, participants must reach a temporal congruence between the imagined and actual movement execution. Identifying factors that can influence this capacity could enhance the effectiveness of motor imagery programs.

Previous studies have provided relatively limited evidence in examining the impact of preoperative serum albumin levels on the length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients with hip fractures. This study aimed to elucidate the association between preoperative serum albumin levels and LOS in elderly patients with hip fractures. This retrospective cohort study included 1444 elderly patients undergoing surgical treatment for hip fractures at the Second People's Hospital of Shenzhen from January 2012 to December 2021.

Understanding the differences between children with severe and non-severe types of neonatal pneumonia is crucial for clinical treatment and disease management. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of infants with neonatal pneumonia diagnosed as respiratory syncytial virus infection at Wuhan Children's Hospital between December 1, 2022 and November 30, 2023. Further, the recruited subjects were categorized into severe and non-severe groups based on the severity score.
