ABSTRACTSeveral fall prevention programs have been implemented to reduce falls among seniors. In some rural areas or in French-speaking minority communities, the availability of such programs is limited. The objectives of this paper are to: (a) describe the Fall Prevention Program Marche vers le futur, offered in French, by videoconference; and (b) present the results of the evaluation of the program objectives. Results demonstrate that participants have improved their physical abilities, gained knowledge, adopted new behaviors and lifestyle habits. In short, Marche vers le futur reduces fall risk factors in a manner equal or superior to other programs. Marche vers le futur has made possible the provision of services in French in communities where availability of French-language resources is very limited, therefore fostering equity in access to health services.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of midazolam and dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine-induced thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TPVB) in radical lung cancer surgery.
Methods: To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of elderly patients who underwent thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery from March 2020 to February 2023 in our hospital. All patients underwent a single two-site method of TPVB at the levels of T4 and T7 under ultrasound guidance.

Introduction: This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of various anesthetic and sedative regimens for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published until March 2024. Primary outcomes included procedure time, patient satisfaction, oxygen saturation (SpO2), incidence of SpO2 below 90%, and adverse events.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the monitoring of oxygen and ventilation during bronchoscopy since sedatives can suppress breathing and create complications.
- Researchers included patients needing diagnostic procedures and used a transcutaneous blood gas monitor to track changes in carbon dioxide levels and oxygen saturation in real-time.
- The results showed high success in monitoring (96.6%) and indicated that the combination of midazolam and fentanyl led to more significant changes in carbon dioxide levels compared to midazolam alone.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of thiamylal versus midazolam for sedation during pediatric colonoscopies.
- Results show that thiamylal has a higher success rate (90.6%) without mid-awakening compared to midazolam (64.3%).
- Both sedation methods resulted in similar recovery times and adverse event rates, indicating thiamylal is a viable option for pediatric sedation.

Background Propofol and midazolam are the most common sedative agents used in critical settings. Propofol and midazolam might have different mortality rates after sedation administration. Some studies mention that propofol is associated with a lower mortality rate than midazolam in mechanically ventilated patients, but other studies have contradicting results.
