Objective: To determine whether abdominal binders effectively control pain and distress after cesarean delivery.
Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted between April and November, 2014, among women undergoing cesarean delivery (low-transverse skin incision) at two US hospitals. Participants were randomly allocated to either the abdominal binder or control groups on entry to the operating suite. Masking was not possible. Patients in the abdominal binder group were fitted with a device before leaving the operating room and were encouraged to wear it constantly, although breaks were allowed. The primary outcomes were postoperative distress (measured by the Symptom Distress Scale [SDS]) and pain (measured by a visual analog scale [VAS]). Individuals who asked to be removed from the study within 6hours of surgery were excluded from analyses.
Results: Analyses included 87 patients in the abdominal binder group and 68 in the control group. The abdominal binder and control groups did not differ in postoperative day 1 VAS (3.1±2.1 vs 3.4±2.3; P=0.33), postoperative day 2 VAS (3.0±1.9 vs 3.8±2.2; P=0.16), postoperative day 1 SDS (21.5±5.4 vs 21.8±5.1; P=0.87), and postoperative day 2 SDS (19.4±4.8 vs 19.9±5.0; P=0.53).
Conclusion: Postoperative pain and distress scores after cesarean delivery were not affected by abdominal binders. ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT02129894.

Although non-immunoglobin scaffold binders with high affinity and broad spectrum for albumin are attractive for lab-scale albumin purification, affinity chromatography based on these binders has not been developed. Here, the albumin-binding capabilities of representative binders, including protein G-derived albumin binding domain (ABD), albumin binding nanofitins (ABNF), and human serum albumin affimer 31 (HSA31) were predicted by interaction structure analysis and verified by experimental assays. Interaction structure prediction suggested that ABD possessed great potential to bind human (HSA), rhesus monkey (RhSA), mouse (MSA), and rat serum albumin (RSA), whereas ABNF might only bind HSA and bovine serum albumin (BSA), and HSA31 might not bind any of the tested albumins.

Introduction: Abdominal binders consist of a wide compression belt that encircles the abdomen, theoretically supporting the abdominal wall. However, their use after ventral hernia repair is debated. Therefore, this meta-analysis evaluates their efficacy.

Article Synopsis
- * A literature review of 16 studies found that while abdominal binders (AB) did not reduce hernia rates or complications, they helped decrease postoperative pain for 48-72 hours.
- * Despite their safety, the evidence does not support routine use of AB after surgery, indicating a need for more research on their benefits and costs.

The study focuses on the design and evaluation of inflatable abdominal binders for managing Orthostatic Hypotension. Orthostatic hypotension is a condition characterized by a significant drop in blood pressure when a person stands up, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and even fainting. The management of orthostatic hypotension typically involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies.
