Aging disrupts multiple homeostatic processes, including autophagy, a cellular process for the recycling and degradation of defective cytoplasmic structures. Acute treatment with the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine blunts the maximal forces generated by the diaphragm muscle, but the mechanisms underlying neuromuscular dysfunction in old age remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that chloroquine treatment increases the presynaptic retention of the styryl dye FM 4-64 following high-frequency nerve stimulation, consistent with the accumulation of unprocessed bulk endosomes.

Objective: For neonatal repair of coarctation of the aorta, patients may either undergo thoracotomy with extended end-to-end anastomosis or sternotomy for aortic arch reconstruction with cardiopulmonary bypass. The objective of this study was to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the 2 approaches in patients with arch hypoplasia.
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study from July 2005 through May 2022 of patients who underwent neonatal repair for isolated coarctation of the aorta with additional arch hypoplasia.

Purpose Of Review: Post-laparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) can slow patient recovery and extend hospital stays, making its management crucial for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Current consensus guidelines say little about how to prevent or manage PLSP. In this context, a multimodal approach to PLSP management that maybe extend beyond the pharmaceutical interventions currently employed.
