The anesthetic management of adult patient with Down syndrome (DS) can be challenging due to poor patient cooperation, age-related comorbidities, and a possible difficult airway. Thoracic anesthesia requires an advanced airway management; thus, treatment of DS patients can be particularly demanding. An accurate preoperative assessment is paramount in order to plan a well-designed perioperative strategy in advance. This report describes the anesthetic management of an adult patient affected by DS who underwent pleural decortication for pleural empyema.

Understanding is limited regarding strategies for addressing missing value when developing and validating models to predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the presence of and approaches to missing data in these prediction models. The MEDLINE electronic database was systematically searched for English-language studies from inception to June 30, 2024.

Background: Obesity is a growing global epidemic, with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists emerging as effective pharmacological solutions for weight loss. However, these medications raise concerns in the context of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery due to their effects on wound healing, adipose tissue metabolism, and their potential impact on surgical outcomes.
Objective: To report two cases of delayed wound healing and fat necrosis in patients undergoing breast surgery while receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight management.
Triglyceride lowering in patients with different severities of hypertriglyceridaemia-associated acute pancreatitis: secondary analysis of a multicentre, prospective cohort study.

Objective: It is controversial whether rapid lowering of triglyceride (TG) levels is associated with clinical benefits in patients with hypertriglyceridaemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP). In particular, patients with different severity of disease may respond differently to TG-lowering therapy. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between rapid decline in serum TG levels and organ failure in patients with different severities of HTG-AP.

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) often leads to severe postoperative pain. At present, multimodal analgesia schemes for MICS have attracted much attention, and the application of various chest wall analgesia techniques is becoming increasingly widespread. However, research on anesthesia techniques for postoperative pain management in MICS remains relatively limited at present.
