Because the Japanese word of Masui (Anesthesia) was originally coined to mean general anesthesia in 1850, there was no Japanese phrase corresponding to general anesthesia in the period between 1850 and 1877. In 1878, Tadanori Ishiguro, a military surgeon who was impressed by Johann N. von Nussbaum's Andsthetica, published Shitu narabini Masuiho (Analge- sia and Anesthesia). In this book, he coined new Japa- nese phrases Kyokusho Masui and Zenshin Masui which corresponded to German phrases Lokale Anaes- thesie and Allgemneine Anaesthesie, and he described the definition of those terms. Since then, the terms, local anesthesia and general anesthesia, have prevailed in Japan.

Although the pathophysiology of migraine involves a complex ensemble of peripheral and central nervous system changes that remain incompletely understood, the activation and sensitization of the trigeminovascular system is believed to play a major role. However, non-invasive, in vivo neuroimaging studies investigating the underlying neural mechanisms of trigeminal system abnormalities in human migraine patients are limited. Here, we studied 60 patients with migraine (55 females, mean age ± SD: 36.

In this study, we report a 42-year-old woman who was preoperatively diagnosed with uterine prolapse degree III. After full communication and signing the informed consent, the patient received transumbilical single-port laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy with the assistance of a robot under general anesthesia on January 11, 2024. Our hospital successfully performed the single-port robot-assisted transumbilical laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy in China, which confirms the safety and effectiveness of Jingfeng single port surgical robot system SP1000 in clinical application.

Trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunting (TIPSS) has been in use for many years with great results and many evolutions. The procedure essentially involves the insertion of a metal covert stent to create an Hepato-Hepatic portosystemic shunt. Over time, TIPSS has become the subject of many studies aimed at examining its clinical utility and evaluating the results of using TIPSS to manage complications related to portal hypertension.

Purpose: Living kidney transplantation is a common treatment for end-stage renal disease. The impact of anaesthetics on postoperative biomarkers of renal injury in living kidney transplant donors is not well understood.
Patients And Methods: 70 transplant donors who underwent kidney extraction were randomly assigned to following two groups: sevoflurane (S group) and propofol (P group).
