AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard for the evaluation of anal fistulas. There is sufficient literature available outlining the interpretation of fistula MRI before performing surgery. However, the interpretation of MRI becomes quite challenging in the postoperative period after the surgery of fistula has been undertaken. Incidentally, there are scarce data and no set guidelines regarding analysis of fistula MRI in the postoperative period. In this article, we discuss the challenges faced while interpreting the postoperative MRI, the timing of the postoperative MRI, the utility of MRI in the postoperative period for the management of anal fistulas, the importance of the active involvement and experience of the treating clinician in interpreting MRI scans, and the latest advancements in the field.

This study assesses the effect of carotid sinus blockade applied with a local anesthetic on hemodynamic parameters during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) operations performed under general anesthesia. The medical records of patients who underwent CEA under general anesthesia between January 2020 and December 2022, were retrospectively reviewed. It was recorded whether the patients received carotid sinus block with 2 mL of 2% prilocaine.

Objective: Smartphones and wearable devices can be effective tools to objectively assess patient mobility and well-being before and after spine surgery. In this retrospective observational study, the authors investigated the relationship between these longitudinal perioperative patient activity data and socioeconomic and demographic correlates, assessing whether smartphone-captured metrics may allow neurosurgeons to distinguish intergroup patterns.
Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective study of patients who underwent spinal decompression with and without fusion between 2017 and 2021 was conducted.

Department of Anaesthesiology, Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital, Paris, France.
Background: Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare life-threatening inborn error of neurotransmitter biosynthesis. It is characterized by deficient biosynthesis of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, leading to catecholamines deficiency and sympathetic deprivation, while the parasympathetic system remains functional. Since 2012, gene therapy has led to clinical improvements in symptoms and motor function with a severe phenotype.
