Background: Surgical injury induces a stress response to surgery that induces tissue repair with the activation of endocrine, metabolic, and immunological mediators aimed at restoring hemostasis.
Objective: In our study to determine the effect of analgesic method on postoperative respiratory function tests, stress hormone and proinflammatory response in patients undergoing elective thoracotomy surgery.
Methods: Seventy-two patients aged between 18 and 75 years with scheduled for elective thoracotomy surgery were included in the study. Thirty-six patients who underwent Erector Spinae Plane block were included in the block group, and 36 patients were included in the control group. IL 6, TNF alpha, cortisol, CRP, insulin and blood glucose levels were measured preoperatively, at the 3rd hour after postoperative extubation and at the 24th postoperative hour.
Results: We observed that while IL6 and TNF alpha levels decreased in the ESPB group compared to the preoperative period, they increased insignificantly in the control group.
Conclusion: ESPB has a positive effect on stress hormones and proinflammatory cytokines, reduces the use of opioids and analgesics in the intraoperative and postoperative period compared to patients without block, and lower VAS scores are obtained in patients with block.

Introduction: Management of pain associated with breast cancer surgeries is crucial in reducing incidence of postmastectomy pain syndrome. The pain distribution involves the anterior chest wall, axillary area and ipsilateral upper limb.
Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of bilevel erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with high thoracic block vs the conventional unilevel ESPB vs opioids in patients with cancer undergoing modified radical mastectomy regarding pain control and reducing pain in axilla.
Introduction: Pain control following Nuss thoracoplasty remains a challenge. Cryoanalgesia of the intercostal nerves has been demonstrated to reduce postoperative pain in these patients. The objective of this study was to understand how and how widely cryoanalgesia is used in pediatric patients undergoing funnel chest surgery in Spain.

Background: Rib fractures are frequently diagnosed and treated in the emergency department (ED). Thoracic trauma has serious morbidity and mortality, particularly in older adults, with complications including pulmonary contusions, hemorrhage, pneumonia, or death. Bedside ED-performed ultrasound-guided anesthesia is gaining in popularity, and early and adequate pain control has shown improved patient outcomes with rare complications.

Background: F-FDG PET-CT-based host metabolic (PETMet) profiling of non-tumor tissue is a novel approach to incorporate the patient-specific response to cancer into clinical algorithms.
Materials And Methods: A prospectively maintained institutional database of gastroesophageal cancer patients was queried for pretreatment PET-CTs, demographics, and clinicopathologic variables. F-FDG PET avidity was measured in 9 non-tumor tissue types (liver, spleen, 4 muscles, 3 fat locations).
