Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of remifentanil pretreatment on sufentanil-induced cough during general anesthesia induction.
Design: This experimental research was conducted as a single-center, randomized, parallel-group trial.
Methods: A total of 120 patients scheduled for elective surgery were equally randomized into two groups (remifentanil and control).
Spinal cord stimulation for the symptomatic treatment of rigidity and painful spasm in a case of stiff person syndrome.

Background: Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neuroimmunological disorder characterized by rigidity and painful spasm primarily affecting the truncal and paraspinal musculature due to autoimmune-mediated neuronal hyperexcitability. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an approved therapy for managing painful neuropathic conditions, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy and refractory angina pectoris. We describe the novel use of SCS for the treatment of spasm and rigidity in a 49-year-old man with seropositive stiff person syndrome (SPS).

Purpose Of Review: Nerve blocks constitute an integral portion in the management of chronic pain. The widespread use of ultrasound imaging opened the door to a flood of newer blocks especially truncal plane nerve blocks. We reviewed the current medical literature for studies and case reports utilizing the two most common truncal plane nerve blocks, transversus abdominis plane and erector spinae plane blocks, to manage chronic pain.

The mechanisms of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury (SCI) are not fully understood. In addition to the plasticity that occurs within the injured spinal cord, peripheral processes, such as hyperactivity of primary nociceptors, are critical to the expression of pain after SCI. In adult rats, truncal stimulation within the tuning range of C-low threshold mechanoreceptors (C-LTMRs) contributes to pain hypersensitivity and elevates respiratory rates (RRs) after SCI.

Introduction: Systemic diseases can be found in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) as a co-existing disease with paraneoplastic syndrome, sarcoidosis, or connective tissue disease. Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) in NMOSD with no evidence of these systemic disorders has rarely been reported.
Case Presentation: We present a 75-year-old patient who showed multifocal longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis and bilateral lung lesions that was seropositive for aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody.
