Background: There is much concern that opioids administered as intravenous (iv) bolus for pain relief may inadvertently increase their risk for abuse. However, there is insufficient data to support this. The authors compared the abuse liability potential, analgesic efficacy, and adverse effect profile of fast (iv push) versus slow (iv piggyback) administration of iv hydromorphone among hospitalized patients requiring iv opioids for pain.

Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a well-known life-threatening local anesthetics complication, especially if given in inappropriate doses or routes. Therefore, physicians should be aware of LAST symptoms, such as neurological and cardiac symptoms. In addition, they should always consider it in the differential diagnosis when they encounter similar symptoms.

Introduction: To date, no investigations have been published regarding the concentration, dose, and technique for a mucosal spray application of botulinum toxin A (BTA) to alleviate hypersecretory symptoms of rhinitis in humans. It is a promising option for reducing common symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (AR) and idiopathic non-AR. It is safer and less painful than intranasal injections, with high reported satisfaction in reducing clinical symptoms.

Descemet's membrane (DM) detachment is a significant, if rare, risk of intracameral injection of viscoelastic to treat hypotony after glaucoma filtration surgery. We describe two cases of DM detachment following inadvertent injection of viscoelastic into the posterior stroma and the techniques used for their repair. In both cases, conventional air tamponade failed to resolve the detachment, and further surgical intervention was required.

Hyperthermia has emerged as a popular treatment option due to its high efficacy and seamless integration with other therapeutic approaches. To enhance treatment outcomes, hydrogels loaded with photothermal agents and activated by near-infrared (NIR) light for localized tumor therapy have attracted considerable attention. This approach minimizes drug dosage and mitigates the adverse effects of systemic drug delivery on healthy tissues.
