Background: Considerable morbidity is attributable to inappropriate tracheal cuff pressure. An earlier study undertaken in our hospital revealed that a normal cuff pressure of 20-30 cm HO was achieved in only 6% of intubated patients using subjective estimation methods.
Objective: To determine whether a training intervention could improve the accuracy of the subjective estimation method in our tracheal cuff monitoring.

Article Synopsis
- Postoperative sore throat (POST) often occurs after endotracheal intubation and can be minimized with medications; this study investigates preoperative nebulization of ketamine and budesonide to see if they effectively reduce POST.
- Conducted with 100 patients aged 18 to 60 undergoing elective surgeries, the trial randomly assigned participants to two groups and assessed sore throat severity at multiple time points post-surgery.
- Results showed that although both treatments had an initial incidence of sore throat, symptoms decreased over time; ketamine use was associated with higher reports of hallucinations compared to budesonide.

Objective: In traditional Chinese philosophy, durian is classified as a "yang" food with heaty properties, believed to raise body temperature and blood pressure (BP) after consumption. In contrast, bananas are considered as "yin," possessing cooling effect. However, scientific evidence supporting these concepts is limited.

Background: Intractable xerostomia is defined as the subjective perception of dry mouth and persistent salivary gland hypofunction. Pilocarpine is an approved salivary sialagogue that is frequently prescribed for the treatment of intractable xerostomia; however, it often exhibits more side effects at high-doses and limited effectiveness at low-doses. Baekhogainsam-Tang (BIT) is a common herbal formula used by patients complaining of sore throats and thirst.
