Article Abstract
The present study was undertaken to compare the effects of laryngeal mask anesthesia (LMA) and spinal anesthesia on mood states in patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy. A total of 46 patients who underwent hemorrhoidectomy for grade III and IV hemorrhoids were included in this study. LMA with fentanyl plus propofol was given to 23 patients, and spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine was administered to 23 patients. Mood changes were assessed preoperatively and 2 h postoperatively with the Profile of Mood States (POMS), which consists of 65 questions that are designed to measure 6 identifiable mood states (tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, and confusion). No significant differences were noted between the 2 groups in terms of baseline POMS global and subscale scores, except for scores regarding vigor. No significant mood changes were observed after hemorrhoidectomy in patients who were given LMA; however, an increase in total POMS score was reported in patients given spinal anesthesia. These findings suggest that mood score is affected by spinal anesthesia but not by LMA in patients who are about to undergo hemorrhoidectomy.

Restorative Neurostimulation Therapy Compared to Optimal Medical Management: A Randomized Evaluation (RESTORE) for the Treatment of Chronic Mechanical Low Back Pain due to Multifidus Dysfunction.
Pain Ther
January 2025
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital/Rutgers Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.
Introduction: Many interventional strategies are commonly used to treat chronic low back pain (CLBP), though few are specifically intended to target the distinct underlying pathomechanisms causing low back pain. Restorative neurostimulation has been suggested as a specific treatment for mechanical CLBP resulting from multifidus dysfunction. In this randomized controlled trial, we report outcomes from a cohort of patients with CLBP associated with multifidus dysfunction treated with restorative neurostimulation compared to those randomized to a control group receiving optimal medical management (OMM) over 1 year.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, UCONN Health, Farmington, CT, USA.
Background: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR), a known complication following total joint arthroplasty (TJA), remains inconsistent in its diagnostic criteria, prevalence, and risk factors. This study aims to quantify POUR rates, identify risk factors, and assess complications associated with catheterization in TJA.
Methods: A single-center cohort undergoing TJA between January 2015 and December 2022 was retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Rib fractures are frequently diagnosed and treated in the emergency department (ED). Thoracic trauma has serious morbidity and mortality, particularly in older adults, with complications including pulmonary contusions, hemorrhage, pneumonia, or death. Bedside ED-performed ultrasound-guided anesthesia is gaining in popularity, and early and adequate pain control has shown improved patient outcomes with rare complications.

Can erector spinae plane block replace intrathecal morphine in cesarean section? A prospective randomized controlled study on opioid consumption.

Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Istanbul Marmara University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objectives: After cesarean, optimal analgesia is important for early mobilization, mitigating thromboembolic risks, and mother-infant communication. Our study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of intrathecal morphine (ITM) and Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
Methods: 82 patients were randomized into ESPB and ITM groups.
