Objective: To assess the value of compound anesthesia of transcutaneous electrical point stimulation and Remifentanil and the efficacy of this method on postoperative acute pain.
Methods: Sixty cases with vertebral lamina internal fixation decompression operation were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The patients in the observation group received compound anesthesia of transcutaneous electrical point stimulation at Hegu (LI 4), Laogong (PC 8), Neiguan (PC 6) and Waiguan (TE 5) 30 min before anesthesia induction with HANS stimulator and then Remifentanil anesthesia. During the operation, the stimulation was lasted for 30 min and ceased for 30 min until the end of operation. The patients in the control group received simple Remifentanil anesthesia. The dosage of the narcotic, changes of both blood pressure and heart rate during operation, before and after extubation and the pain degree, etc. were investigated in the two groups.
Results: (1) The dosage of Isoflurane, (0.52 +/- 0.33)vol%, in the observation group was significantly lower than (1.12 +/- 0.18) vol% in the control group (P < 0.01). (2) Both blood pressure and heart rate during operation, before and after extubation in the observation group were lower than those before operation (P < 0.01), and both the blood pressure and heart rate during operation in the control group were lower than those before operation (P < 0.01). The blood pressure after extubation in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.01), and the heart rate before and after extubation in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.01). (3) The time of extubation and palinesthesia in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.01). (4) In the observation group, the VAS scores after palinesthesia in 26 cases were < 4, and in 4 cases were > or = 5, while in the control group, the scores in 4 cases were < 4 and in 20 cases > or = 5, with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Compound anesthesia of transcutaneous electrical point stimulation and Remifentanil can reduce the dosage of narcotics, shorten the time of palinesthesia and effectively prevent and treat acute pain after Remifentanil anesthesia.

Methyleugenol (ME) has been classified as a "group 2B carcinogen" by IARC. Its positional isomer methylisoeugenol (MIE) has been considered to be of "generally recognized as safe'' status by FDA. ME was more cytotoxic than MIE in cultured mouse primary hepatocytes.

Purpose: This study investigates the association between visual function and retinal vasculature metrics, particularly perfusion capacity (PC), in eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM), using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: This retrospective study includes 30 eyes from 30 iERM patients who had surgery, with a three-month follow-up period. In addition, 28 eyes from 28 healthy individuals served as a control group.

Importance: Spontaneous reports have indicated that montelukast increases the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events, and the US Food and Drug Administration added a boxed warning about these risks in 2020. However, the potential mechanism is not well understood, and the observational evidence is scarce, particularly in children.
Objective: To assess the potential association between the use of montelukast and the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events in children and adolescents.

Background: Ruptures of the distal biceps tendon (DBT) can affect the range of motion and strength of the elbow, raising concerns for patients seeking to restore normal function and engage in their regular activities, particularly returning to previous levels of sport participation.
Purpose: To characterize and assess the rate and timing of return to sport (RTS) after DBT repair.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.
