Background: The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway in patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) for primary and secondary adrenal disease, in reducing the length of primary hospital stay and return to daily activities.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on 61 patients who underwent LA. A total of 32 patients formed the ERAS group. A total of 29 patients received conventional perioperative care and were assigned as the control group. Groups were compared in terms of patient's characteristics (sex, age, pre-operative diagnosis, side of tumour, tumour size and co-morbidities), post-operative compliance (anaesthesia time, operative time, post-operative stay, post-operative numeric rating scale (NRS) score, analgesic assumption and days to return to daily activities) and post-operative complications.
Results: No significant differences in anaesthesia time ( P = 0.4) and operative time ( P = 0.6) were reported. NRS score 24 h postoperatively was significantly lower in the ERAS group ( P < 0.05). The analgesic assumption in post-operative period in the ERAS group was lower ( P < 0.05). ERAS protocol led to a significantly shorter length of post-operative stay ( P < 0.05) and to return to daily activities ( P < 0.05). No differences in peri-operative complications were reported.
Discussion: ERAS protocols seem safe and feasible, potentially improving perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing LA, mainly improving pain control, hospital stay and return to daily activities. Further studies are needed to investigate overall compliance with ERAS protocols and their impact on clinical outcomes.

Inhalation of multiple pen caps causing bronchial foreign bodies: a rare case in an older child.

Department of Pulmonology, Tianjin Children's Hospital (Children's Hospital of Tianjin University), Machang compus, 225 Machang Road, Hexi District, Tianjin, 300074, China.
Background: Foreign body inhalation is rare in older children, often leading to underdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Most cases involve a single foreign body, but instances of multiple foreign bodies are exceedingly uncommon. This report presents a case of an elder child who inhaled two pen caps, emphasizing the need for clinical vigilance and thorough medical history collection.

Background: Ostomy education and support is instrumental in surgical recovery and adaptation. We aimed to evaluate 1) challenges faced by fecal ostomy patients with colorectal cancer and 2) resources necessary for recovery.
Methods: We recruited patients 21-90 days after scheduled fecal ostomy surgery for locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer from a single, tertiary academic center.
The relation between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and circadian rhythm disturbance has been increasingly acknowledged in recent years. While prior clinical studies have utilized patients' self-reported sleep behaviors, there is a need to also explore the measurable, biological aspects of circadian rhythms. The current study has two aims: first, to describe the biological circadian rhythms of individuals with OCD seeking intensive residential treatment, including their relationship with self-reported measures of sleep and OCD symptoms; and second, to examine longitudinal associations between biological circadian rhythms and OCD symptom severity during the course of residential treatment.

CHEST Crit Care
December 2024
Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Background: A recent international consensus conference called for the development of risk prediction models to identify ICU survivors at increased risk of each of the post-ICU syndrome domains. We previously developed and validated a risk prediction tool for functional impairment after ICU admission among older adults.
Research Question: In this pilot study, we assessed the feasibility of administering the risk prediction tool in the hospital to older adults who had just survived critical illness.
Long-term follow-up of the impact of brief sleep and lifestyle interventions in infancy on BMI z-score at 11 years of age: The POI randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To determine whether BMI differences observed at 5 years of age, from early intervention in infancy, remained apparent at 11 years.
Methods: Participants (n = 734) from the original randomized controlled trial (n = 802) underwent measures of body mass index (BMI), body composition (DXA), sleep and physical activity (24-h accelerometry, questionnaire), diet (repeated 24-h recalls), screen time (daily diaries), wellbeing (CHU-9D, WHO-5), and family functioning (McMaster FAD) around their 11th birthday. Following multiple imputation, regression models explored the effects of two interventions ('Sleep' vs.
