Background: The study aimed to investigate the reduction of hematoma risk during MRI-guided breast biopsies by evaluating position-dependent intervention parameters and characteristics of the target lesion.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 252 percutaneous MRI-guided breast biopsies performed at a single center between January 2013 and December 2023. Two groups were built depending on the severity of relative hematoma formation (using a cut-off ≤ 7.

Background: Scalp nerve blocks (SNB) may significantly reduce post-craniotomy pain (PCP) but only for a short period of time. Dexamethasone, as an adjuvant to local anesthetics, was reported to prolong the analgesia duration of never block; however, the addition of dexamethasone to SNB is rare. We therefore tested the hypothesis that dexamethasone as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in SNB is positive after craniotomy.

Knowledge of drug pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution is precious for ensuring patient safety and optimizing treatments. The varied use of local anesthetics, as well as the fact that anesthetics can sometimes have low therapeutic indices and numerous adverse drug reactions, makes any novel pharmacokinetics information valuable. The present manuscript describes a pharmacokinetic study of ropivacaine carried out after plane block anesthesia on an animal model, using high sensitivity, accurate, and precise LC-MS/MS bioanalysis.

Introduction: In colostomy-related complications, variceal hemorrhage particularly induced by cirrhosis and portal hypertension is seldom encountered. The onset of peristome variceal hemorrhage necessitates swift and effective intervention to prevent potentially life-threatening outcomes such as hemorrhagic shock and recurrent stoma bleeding.
Case Presentation: This report details a case of repeated varicose vein hemorrhage around the stoma in a patient with liver cirrhosis.

In the evolving landscape of ambulatory surgery, wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery has emerged as a preferred approach due to its efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and patient satisfaction. This paradigm shift places the patient at the center of intraoperative communication, requiring a significant change in the dialogue within the operating room (OR). Traditional conversations, which often exclude the unconscious patient, must evolve to accommodate and prioritize the psychological comfort of the conscious patient.
