Background: For metabolic laparoscopic surgery, higher pressures up to 20 mmHg are often used to create a surgical field of sufficient quality. This randomized pilot study aimed to determine the feasibility, safety and tolerability of low intraabdominal pressure (IAP) and deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) to reduce postoperative pain.
Methods: In a teaching hospital in the Netherlands, 62 patients eligible for a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) were randomized into one of four groups in a 2 × 2 factorial design: deep/moderate NMB and standard (20 mmHg)/low IAP (12 mmHg). Patient and surgical team were blinded. Primary outcome measure was the surgical field quality, scored on the Leiden-Surgical Rating Scale (L-SRS). Secondary outcome measures were (serious) adverse events, duration of surgery and postoperative pain.
Results: 62 patients were included. L-SRS was good or perfect in all patients that were operated under standard IAP with deep or moderate NMB. In 40% of patients with low IAP and deep NMB, an increase in IAP was needed to improve surgical overview. In patients with low IAP and moderate NMB, IAP was increased to improve surgical overview in 40%, and in 75% of these cases a deep NMB was requested to further improve the surgical overview. Median duration of surgery was 38 min (IQR34-40 min) in the group with standard IAP and moderate NMB and 52 min (IQR46-55 min) in the group with low IAP and deep NMB.
Conclusions: The combination of moderate NMB and low IAP can create insufficient surgical overview. Larger trials are needed to corroborate the findings of this study.

PM constitutes a complex and diverse mixture that significantly impacts the environment, human health, and climate change. However, existing observation and numerical simulation techniques have limitations, such as a lack of data, high acquisition costs, and multiple uncertainties. These limitations hinder the acquisition of comprehensive information on PM chemical composition and effectively implement refined air pollution protection and control strategies.

Introduction: The impact of laparoscopic surgery on homeostatic systems necessitates careful consideration of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) management. This study investigated the effects of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum with deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) on surgeon satisfaction, haemodynamics and post-operative outcomes in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients.
Patients And Methods: The study design involves prospective randomised control.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to describe and verify a technique for visualizing the L5 pars interarticularis (L5PI) using diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) on a healthy 10-year-old boy.
- The methodology involved scanning the L5/S1 region with a linear array transducer and confirming the L5PI's identification through comparisons with spine models and imaging a subject known to have spondylolysis.
- Results indicated that the ultrasound images matched the models with a metal paperclip placed over L5PI, and spondylolysis showed a distinct defect at this site, establishing the DUS technique as effective for diagnosing L5PI.

Introduction: The significant effect of deep neuromuscular block (NMB) in laparoscopic surgery is still controversial, especially in lower-pressure pneumoperitoneum. This study investigates the effect of deep neuromuscular block on intraabdominal pressure (IAP), surgical space quality, post-operative abdominal pain, and shoulder tip pain in laparoscopic gynaecological surgery.
Material And Methods: This is a randomised, double-blinded control trial which randomised samples to moderate NMB (train-of-four count [TOF] of 1 or 2) or deep NMB (post-tetanic count [PTC] of 1 or 2).

Article Synopsis
- Deep learning models are being used to predict air pollution from tiny particles (PM) in cities, which is hard to do because the air has many changing factors.
- A study in Rizhao, China compared this new deep learning model to traditional methods and found that the deep learning model was better at making accurate 24-hour forecasts.
- The deep learning model works especially well in winter and helps understand how different weather and humidity levels affect air quality, although it becomes less accurate over longer time forecast periods.
