Despite, having these consequences, there are limited studies in the study area.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence and associated factors of postoperative headache among adult elective surgical patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Northwest Ethiopia, April 9 to 20 June 2022.

Background/aims: To identify the risk factors for neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) following corneal refractive surgery and to report its clinical manifestations, imaging and proteomic characteristics.
Methods: This 1 year prospective cohort study included 100 eyes that underwent small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Ocular surface assessments, in-vivo confocal microscopy scans, tear neuromediators and proteomics analyses were performed.

Background: The prevalence of positive cultures in primarily operated shoulders represents a growing concern. Previous studies have documented high rates of culture positivity in primary prosthetic shoulder surgery, yet the Latarjet procedure has not been specifically explored in this context. The aim of this study was to identify the rate of culture positivity in patients treated with a primary Latarjet procedure, and to identify risk factors for culture positivity.

Methods: The records of client-owned dogs referred to the Texas A&M University Small Animal Teaching Hospital for surgical correction of BOAS over 4 years (February 2019 to June 2023) were retrospectively reviewed. A perioperative protocol for patients undergoing surgical correction of BOAS was implemented in June 2021, which included preoperative cisapride and antacid administration, minimizing opioid use, and a slow recovery with nebulization of hypertonic saline.
