This article presents the first series with long-term results of a large number of patients. As a result, it is difficult to compare these results with anything but spontaneous recovery. In most cases, the end result after surgical treatment will be better than spontaneous recovery.

Background: Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are routinely used in anesthesia practice. An undetected, incomplete recovery of neuromuscular function at the end of surgery potentially exposes patients to clinical deterioration in the postoperative period. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) in a cohort of patients receiving NMBAs.

Washable Superhydrophobic Cotton Fabric with Photothermal Self-Healing Performance Based on Nanocrystal-MXene.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Colour Science and Textile Chemistry Research Center, College of Textiles and Clothing, Qingdao University, Qingdao, Shandong 266071, China.

Superhydrophobic fabrics suffer from being commonly penetrated by moisture after laundering, seriously deteriorating their water repellency after air drying. Numerous researchers have successfully recovered superhydrophobicity by drying in fluid ovens; however, high energy consumption and equipment dependence limit practical applications. Herein, the superhydrophobic photothermal self-healing cotton fabric (SPS cotton fabric) was fabricated by depositing a composite layer of cellulose nanocrystal-MXene (C-MXene) and polyacrylate (PA) coatings on the cotton cloth.

Usher syndrome type 1C (USH1C) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the USH1C gene, which encodes harmonin, a key component of the mechanoelectrical transduction complex in auditory and vestibular hair cells. USH1C leads to deafness and vestibular dysfunction in humans. An Ush1c knockout (KO) mouse model displaying these characteristic deficits is generated in our laboratory.

Cardiac arrest: Pre-hospital strategies to facilitate successful resuscitation and improve recovery rates.

World J Cardiol

January 2025

1 University Department of Cardiology, "Hippokration" General Hospital, Athens Medical School, Athens 11527, Greece.

The estimated annual incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is approximately 120 cases per 100000 inhabitants in western countries. Although the rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of automated external defibrillator are increasing, the likelihood of survival to hospital discharge is no more than 8%. To date, various devices and methods have been utilized in the initial CPR approach targeting to improve survival and neurological outcomes in OHCA patients.

What's the bug?: An unusual cause of bacterial meningitis in a patient with history of transsphenoidal surgery.

Am J Emerg Med

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Michigan, 1500 E. Medical Center Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, United States of America. Electronic address:

Bacterial meningitis is an increasingly rare disease that carries significant morbidity and mortality. We describe the case of a 38-year-old male with a past medical history of pituitary macroadenoma with prior endonasal surgeries on prednisone therapy daily for resultant hypopituitarism and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy on lamotrigine daily who was transferred to an academic tertiary emergency department due to concern for developing pituitary apoplexy. At the outside emergency department, the patient presented complaining of sudden onset severe headache.
