Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of Apneic anesthesia with intermittent ventilation (AAIV) during laryngeal papillomatosis removal in children.
Methods: The clinical data of 30 patients with laryngeal papillomatosis treated in the Tong Ren Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences, between 10 - 12 2011 were analyzed. Thirty ASA physical status I or II patients who were scheduled for elective surgery. The patients were ventilated with 100% oxygen and the period of intermittent apnea were guided by pulse oximetry, the endotracheal tube was removed when SpO2 was 100% and reinserted when SpO2 was 95%.
Result: The average duration of apnea was (232 ± 32) s. This technique provided a good visualization and immobile field for operation. No significant complications have occurred with AAIV.
Conclusion: Apneic anesthesia with intermittent ventilation could be used without any serious adverse outcome for juvenile-onset recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis, 232 seconds can provided for surgery every AAIV.

Background: Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in the glycine cleavage system, leading to elevated glycine levels in the central nervous system. NKH manifests in various forms, with the neonatal type being the most severe and often associated with high mortality and significant neurological impairment. This case report highlights the successful uses of desflurane and nitrous oxide for anesthetic management in a patient with NKH.

Objective: Night eating syndrome (NES) is an eating disorder characterized by evening hyperphagia. Despite having a prevalence comparable to some other eating disorders, NES remains sparsely investigated and poorly characterized. The present study examined the phenotypic and genetic associations for NES in the clinical Mass General Brigham Biobank.

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects show significant white matter injury, including myelin changes in several brain areas, potentially from impaired glial cells, contributing to increased iron levels that escalate neurodegeneration, but brain iron loads are unclear. Our aim was to examine regional brain iron load, using T2∗-relaxometry, in OSA adults before and after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment over controls.
Methods: We performed T2∗-weighted imaging using a 3.

Introduction: Respiratory adverse events are common during the sedation of preterm babies, often needing active airway support. During magnetic resonance imaging, this occurrence could extend the acquisition time, with a negative impact on the thermic and metabolic homeostasis. The aim of the study is to verify if lying in a lateral position instead of supine could improve the safe quality of sedation, without worsening the quality of imaging.
