Preview Should surgery to remove gallstones be deferred until symptoms occur? When should therapy with oral bile acids, lithotripsy, or methyl tert-butyl ether be considered? How should nonspecific dyspeptic symptoms in a patient with cholelithiasis be managed? Dr Marshall discusses these and other questions and controversies.

Objectives: Complex regional pain syndrome remains a challenging condition characterized by severe, persistent pain and a variety of inflammatory and trophic symptoms. This study aimed to analyze the current literature to evaluate hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)'s efficacy in treating complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), focusing on both sympathetically-maintained pain (SMP) and sympathetically-independent pain (SIP) subtypes.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed Clinical Queries using the MeSH term "Complex Regional Pain Syndromes" OR the keyword "CRPS" AND "Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy" OR the keyword "HBOT".

Background: Poor acute postoperative pain control, coupled with the use of intravenous medications with a limited and unsafety efficacy spectrum, has led to new therapeutic alternative explorations to reduce adverse events while increasing its analgesic efficacy. There cannabinoids have been proposed as a useful control agent in post-surgical pain. Nevertheless, to date, there is no solid evidence to evaluate them.

Organic compounds present promising options for sustainable zinc battery electrodes. Nevertheless, the electrochemical properties of current organic electrodes still lag behind those of their inorganic counterparts. In this study, nitro groups were incorporated into pyrene-4, 5, 9, 10-tetraone (PTO), resulting in an elevated discharge voltage due to their strong electron-withdrawing capabilities.

Background And Objective: Unlike the majority of pediatric leukemia patients, young patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have not seen significant improvement in treatment outcomes. This is frequently attributed to the heterogeneity of this malignancy in terms of its mutations and molecularly defined categories. In adult versus pediatric cases of AML, the heterogeneity is preserved, although there are key differences in the incidence of gene mutations, chromosomal translocations, and other molecular features.
