The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the intensity of acute postoperative pain and development of postpartum depression (PPD) after cesarean section (CS). The secondary purpose was to investigate perioperative risk factors for PPD detected in the postoperative period after CS. We retrospectively reviewed 615 women who had undergone CS between January 2017 and October 2019 in our hospital. The incidence of PPD was 22.7% on postoperative day (POD) 5 in the 247 women whose numerical rating scale (NRS) scores on POD3 were available. The severity of acute postoperative pain evaluated by NRS was higher in women with than in those without PPD on POD3 (P < 0.02). The independent risk factors for the onset of PPD on POD5 were being a primipara [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 2.08; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-4.20, P < 0.05], preoperative presence of chronic pain (OR, 4.44; 95% CI 1.82-10.81, P < 0.001), and NRS ≥ 2 on POD3 (aOR, 4.90; 95% CI 1.06-22.61, P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that assessing both acute postoperative pain and presence of PPD can inform the introduction of interventions in the early phase to prevent development of PPD after CS.

Delirium is a neuropsychiatric syndrome commonly presenting during acute illness. The pathophysiology of delirium is unknown, but neuroinflammation is suggested to play a role. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate whether cell-free DNA and markers of neutrophil extracellular traps in serum and CSF were associated with delirium and neuronal damage, assessed by neurofilament light chain.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a rare condition in children that causes acute, severe, but often reversible systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle. Physical trauma is a recognized trigger, although distinguishing TTC from myocardial contusion in pediatric trauma cases can be challenging due to overlapping clinical features. We present the case of a six-year-old boy involved in a high-impact motor vehicle collision.

However, it is associated with a higher risk of venous thrombosis, which can jeopardize the survival of the pancreaticoduodenal graft. This case report describes a patient with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and ESRD who developed acute, occlusive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) involving the right common femoral, profunda femoral, and greater saphenous veins on postoperative day 1 (POD1) following a deceased donor SPK transplant, despite systemic prophylactic anticoagulation.

Acute appendicitis is the most frequent abdominal surgical emergency worldwide. While luminal obstruction due to fecaliths and lymphoid hyperplasia is a common cause, parasitic infections are a rare but significant contributor. , the most common helminthic infection in developed countries, can trigger appendiceal inflammation through a mechanical obstruction or immune response.

Background: Ondansetron is widely used for prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after general anesthesia. While previous studies have emphasized its early use, the effects of ondansetron in intensive care unit (ICU) patients following cardiac surgery remain unclear. This study investigates the association between postoperative ondansetron exposure and the risk of mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in ICU patients after cardiac surgery.
