Interscalene brachial plexus block is considered the most complete postoperative analgesia after total shoulder arthroplasty. Interscalene brachial plexus block-induced ipsilateral hemidiaphragmatic paralysis may not be tolerated in patients with preexisting pulmonary disease. Selective distal nerve blocks avoid the risk of phrenic nerve block; however, they may provide incomplete analgesia to the glenohumeral joint. We report a case of combined selective suprascapular and axillary nerve blockade in combination with local infiltration analgesia in a patient with severe lung disease undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty. This case highlights the local infiltration analgesia technique of the shoulder joint and current diaphragm-sparing regional anesthesia blocks.

Comparative Evaluation of Clinical Anesthetic Efficacy of 4% Articaine with 24-Gauge Needle in Buccal Nerve Block Compared to 2% Lignocaine with 20-Gauge Needle in Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in Children with Dentoalveolar Abscess.

Aims And Background: Local anesthetics play a crucial role in pain management in pediatric dentistry, where anxiety and fear are common among young patients. This study aimed to compare the anesthetic efficacy of 2% lignocaine with a 20-gauge needle in an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) and 4% articaine with a 24-gauge needle in a buccal nerve block (BNB) during the extraction of dentoalveolar abscesses in children aged 5-11 years.
Materials And Methods: A 12-month randomized controlled trial involving 100 healthy children was conducted following ethical standards.
An Unusual Case of Overlapping Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are multisystemic autoimmune disorders that can present with renal manifestations. Overlapping cases of these diseases are extremely rare and present both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 70-year-old male with a history of autoimmune pancreatitis, who was admitted with fatigue, weight loss, and worsening kidney function.

Sweet's syndrome (or acute febrile dermatosis) is a neutrophilic dermatosis with a characteristic presentation encompassing specific clinical (fever and erythemato-violaceous oedematous papules, plaques and nodules), laboratory (neutrophilia and increased inflammatory markers), and histological (dermal neutrophilic infiltrate without vasculitis) features. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood but there seems to be an auto-inflammatory component related to mutations in inflammasome genes. It has been subdivided into its classic form, malignancy-associated, and drug-induced, according to its aetiology.

Background: Postoperative pain remains a significant problem in patients undergoing donor nephrectomy despite reduced tissue trauma following laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN). Inadequately treated pain leads to physiological and psychological consequences, including chronic neuropathic pain.
Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled double-blinded trial was conducted in sixty-nine (n = 69) participants who underwent LLDN under general anesthesia.

Department of Urology, Beijing TianTan Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 119 South 4 Ring West Road, Fengtai District, 100070, Beijing, China.
Background: Although pentatricopeptide repeat domain 1 (PTCD1) has been found to modulate mitochondrial metabolic and oxidative phosphorylation, its contribution in the growth of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unknown.
Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was utilized to examine the transcriptional alterations, patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, as well as pathway activation of PTCD1. The Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was performed to investigate potential genes that associated with PTCD1.
