Background And Objectives: For more than 25 years, there has been no discussion in the Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology about hemophiliac patients' perioperative management. Hemophilia has been described as a disease from the early 19th Century, but still today there are many hemophilia-related breakthroughs. This review aimed at pointing hemophilia patient-related perioperative care, focusing on hemophilia A management and the role of the anesthesiologist as part of the multidisciplinary team.

Contents: Hemophilia features are described in terms of clinical and laboratory findings, current pharmacological therapy and intraoperative care of hemophilia patients.

Conclusions: Hemophiliac patients management has improved. As a consequence of this advance, it is important that new knowledge, especially related to replacement therapy, be mastered not only by hematologists but also by the whole clinical-surgical team. A multidisciplinary team of which the anesthesiologist is part has to be involved when hemophilia patients are submitted to surgical procedures. The anesthesiologist should be in charge of adopting most adequate approaches for hemophilia patients, actively participating and communicating with the members of the multidisciplinary team.

Posterior sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation is a rare but potentially life-threatening injury due to its proximity to critical mediastinal structures. Early diagnosis and prompt management are essential to prevent severe complications such as vascular or respiratory compromise. We report a case of a 23-year-old male who presented to our emergency department five days after a high-energy motor vehicle accident with isolated, closed posterior dislocation of the SCJ.

Background: Ambient artificial intelligence offers promise for improving documentation efficiency and reducing provider burden through clinical note generation. However, challenges persist in workflow integration, compliance, and widespread adoption. This study leveraged a Learning Health System (LHS) framework to align research and operations using a hybrid effectiveness-implementation protocol, embedded as pragmatic trial operations within the electronic health record (EHR).

Objective: Multidisciplinary cancer consultations play a critical role in the delivery of quality cancer care by promoting treatment planning and collaborative decision-making. The objective of this study was to evaluate associations between multidisciplinary cancer consultations and receipt of guideline-recommended adjuvant treatments among breast, colorectal, or non-small cell lung cancer patients and assess these associations between and within racial and ethnic groups.

Methods: This is a population-based retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER), Medicare-linked data (2006-2016) to identify Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with nonmetastatic breast, colorectal, or non-small cell lung cancer.
