The appearance of a subdural hematoma (SDH) following spinal anesthesia is a serious and rare complication which mandates prompt diagnosis, although the treatment modalities are not well codified. Patients with post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) non-responsive to conservative measures and/or those patients with a change of the character of the headache should be considered seriously. In symptomatic patients, evacuation of SDH is essential but epidural blood patch should be strongly considered as it can prevent reappearance of SDH by sealing the dural defect.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection leads to significant morbidity and mortality after total knee arthroplasty. Preoperative and perioperative risk prediction and assessment tools are lacking in Asia. This study developed the first machine learning model for individualized prediction of periprosthetic joint infection following primary total knee arthroplasty in this demographic.

Background: Peripheral abdominal nerve blocks are key components of multimodal analgesia, enhancing recovery after cesarean sections. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess analgesic efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) versus Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAPB) under ultrasound guidance following Cesarean Section (CS) under spinal anesthesia.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and ISI Web of Science to identify relevant trials.

Second People Hospital of Hunan, Changsha, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided local anesthetic injection combined with myofascial trigger point mini-needle knife therapy for acute lumbar sprain management.
Methods: In this prospective study, 60 patients (January-July 2024) received ultrasound-guided injections at the third lumbar (L3) transverse process attachment and posterior medial spinal nerve branch, combined with miniscalpel-needle release of MTrPs. Visual analog scale (VAS), modified Oswestry disability index (MODI), and lumbar range of motion (ROM) were assessed pre-treatment and on days 3 and 7 post-treatment.
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells improve bone cancer pain by inhibiting p38MAPK phosphorylation and microglia activation.

March 2025
Department of Pain, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, China.
Background: Bone cancer pain (BCP) is not adequately addressed by current treatment methods, making the exploration of effective management strategies a topic of significant interest. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seem to be a potential way for managing BCP, yet little is known about the mechanisms underlying the efficacy of this potential treatment.
Methods: We established the male C57BL/6 mice BCP models.
