In this report, we describe a case of a neonatal oral herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection possibly acquired from a mother who had oral HSV reactivation in association with neuraxial morphine. Neuraxial morphine is commonly administered for postpartum analgesia after cesarean delivery. While there is evidence that neuraxial morphine increases the risks of oral HSV reactivation in parturients, there has been no report of neonatal HSV infection directly acquired from a mother who had HSV recurrence from neuraxial morphine.

The nociceptive withdrawal reflex during spinal analgesia in pigs undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a prospective observational study.

Introduction: Use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is still in the focus of research, in which pigs are commonly involved. During VA-ECMO, cardiovascular parameters are artificially manipulated and therefore not reliable indicators of nociception. Nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) thresholds can be a suitable alternative in such a context.

Introduction: The neuraxial morphine has been regarded as the gold standard for postpartum analgesia. However, the recent advancements in patient-controlled analgesia and various regional nerve blocks have led to the implementation of multimodal analgesia strategies, which aim to reduce opioid usage and associated complications while ensuring satisfactory pain relief. The objective of this research is to investigate the optimal dosage of epidural morphine for alleviating moderate and severe pain after caesarean sections in healthy parturients, as well as reducing unnecessary burden of respiratory monitoring resources.

Article Synopsis
- A clinical study was conducted to assess different pain management strategies after cesarean sections (CS) using 300 participants divided into five groups based on their anesthesia methods and analgesic protocols.
- Results indicated that the group receiving intrathecal morphine (ITM) reported the best pain relief and function, followed closely by the group combining spinal anesthesia with fentanyl and a TAP block (ITF+TAP).
- The general anesthesia group experienced the worst pain and had the quickest request for additional analgesia, highlighting the effectiveness of multimodal analgesia in enhancing postoperative recovery.
Opioid administration across racial and ethnic groups for patients undergoing liver resection: are there disparities?

Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in the treatment of perioperative pain have not been well-studied, despite being observed in a variety of other medical settings. The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the relationship between race and ethnicity and intra- and postoperative opioid administration for patients undergoing open liver resection surgery.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, adult patients undergoing open liver resection from January 2012 to May 2019 were identified.
