Purpose: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the analgesia nociception index (ANI) device and pain scales used in the postoperative pain assessment of pediatric patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy.
Design: The study was designed as a correlation observational pilot study.
Methods: Postoperative pain was evaluated using pediatric pain scales (face, legs, arms, cry, consolability scale; numerical rating scale; Wong-Baker scale) and ANI device in school-aged children and adolescents.
Results: The mean age of the children was 14.00 ± 1.63 years, and the mean BMI was 22.52. We found a statistically significant positive correlation between the pain scale scores and a statistically significant negative relationship between the pain scale score and the ANI.
Conclusions: The ANI device can be used safely and constantly for the objective assessment of postoperative pain in pediatric patients.

BACKGROUND Chiari malformation type 1 occurs when the cerebellar tonsils are pushed into the spinal canal, which can result in syringomyelia. This retrospective study from a single center evaluated outcomes in 89 patients with Chiari malformation type-I (CM-I) and syringomyelia treated with an arachnoid-preserving technique between 2016 and 2023. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted at a tertiary referral center, involving 88 adult patients and 1 adolescent patient aged 14 to 61 years, with diagnosis by MRI and treated for CM-I with syringomyelia between 2016 and 2023, using the arachnoid-preserving technique.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the feasibility of an online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program for patients recovering from extremity fractures compared to usual care.
- Despite enrolling 94 participants, recruitment showed a "yellow light," indicating some success but needing improvements.
- Compliance with the CBT program was low, as only 60% completed all modules, leading to a "red light," suggesting significant changes are necessary before a larger trial can proceed.
Ten-Year Implant Survivorship and Performance of Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Patients with the Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive® Shoulder System - a Short Stemmed Humeral Implant and Hybrid Glenoid.

Background: Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty are highly successful procedures for treatment of glenohumeral arthritis to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and overall quality of life. However, the long-term survivorship of the implant systems is less widely documented in the existing literature. The purpose of this study was to establish the long-term patient outcomes and identify factors influencing the postoperative implant survivorship of total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty devices/procedures utilizing the short-stemmed prosthesis and hybrid glenoid components of the Comprehensive Shoulder System (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) at an average of ten years.

Article Synopsis
- Heterotopic ossification (HO) in the elbow leads to limited movement and is often caused by injuries like burns or trauma; this study analyzes the long-term outcomes of 51 elbows treated surgically.
- The study followed 48 patients over an average of 8 years, assessing metrics such as elbow movement arcs, pain levels, and functional performance scores post-surgery.
- Results showed significant improvement in elbow functionality, but patients with type II diabetes experienced the lowest movement range and higher complication rates, indicating potential risk factors for poorer outcomes.
