Background: Orexin neuropeptides help regulate sleep/wake states, respiration, and pain. However, their potential role in regulating breathing, particularly in perioperative settings, is not well understood. TAK-925 (danavorexton), a novel, orexin receptor 2-selective agonist, directly activates neurons associated with respiratory control in the brain and improves respiratory parameters in rodents undergoing fentanyl-induced sedation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of general anesthesia combined with transversus abdominis plane block on postoperative sleep disorders in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery.
Methods: For elderly patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors, we recruited 94 patients, aged 65-80, who were scheduled for radical laparoscopic surgery. Using the random number table method, the patients were randomly divided into two groups, the general anesthesia group (group GA) and the general anesthesia combined with transversus abdominis plane block group (group GT).

Objectives: Constipation caused by opioid-induced constipation (OIC) is prevalent among critically poisoned patients and can result in complications that prolong hospitalization and, in rare cases, cause bowel perforatio This research aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lactulose and naloxone in the treatment of OIC in the intensive care unit for poisoning.
Materials And Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, clinical trial of patients with opioid poisoning who experienced constipation for 14 months. Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving lactulose (30 cc daily) and the other receiving naloxone (8 mg three times a day).
