Background: Caesarean section is a widely performed surgical procedure that often results in moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. If left untreated, this pain can lead to short-term and long-term consequences. Transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block are among the regional anaesthesia techniques employed for managing pain after a caesarean section.
Objective: We aimed to compare the impact of these two blocks on the quality of recovery in patients undergoing elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia.
Design: A single-centre, double-blind, randomised trial.
Settings: Operating room, postanaesthesia recovery unit, and ward in a tertiary hospital.
Participants: Ninety-three patients (ASA 2 to 3) were recruited. After exclusion, 79 patients were included in the final analysis: 40 in the TFP block group and 39 in the TAP block group.
Interventions: After surgery, participants received either TFP block (20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine for each side) or TAP block (20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine for each side).
Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome was the difference in obstetric quality of recovery 11-Turkish (ObsQoR-11T) scores between groups. Secondary outcomes included pain scores, opioid consumption and incidence of opioid-related complications.
Results: The mean ObsQoR-11T score was higher in the TFP block group compared with the TAP block group (97.13 ± 6.67 points vs. 87.10 ± 9.84 points, respectively; P < 0.001). The pain scores in the TFP block group were slightly lower between postoperative 4 and 24 h. The mean total morphine consumption was 15.08 ± 2.21 mg in the TFP block group and 22.21 ± 3.04 mg in the TAP block group ( P < 0.001). More patients required rescue analgesia between 4 and 8 h in the TAP block group [2.00 (5.00%) vs. 9.00 (23.08%), P = 0.02]. No significant differences were observed between groups in terms of opioid-related side effects.
Conclusion: TFP block used for analgesic purposes yielded a better quality recovery period than TAP block and also reduced opioid consumption.

Article Synopsis
- Conjugated micro/mesoporous polymers (CMPs) are porous organic materials created through covalent bonds, with DAC-TFP CMP being a synthesized example made from specific building blocks.
- DAC-TFP CMP exhibits great thermal and chemical stability and shows a selective "on-off" fluorescence response to the nerve agent simulant DMCP, allowing for low-level detection.
- The interaction between DMCP and DAC-TFP CMP leads to a nucleophilic substitution and a fluorescence quenching effect due to intramolecular charge transfer, indicating DAC-TFP CMP's strong capability as a chemosensor for environmental applications.
The efficacy of transversalis fascia plane block in pediatric inguinal herniotomy: a randomized controlled study.

Objective: The post-operative analgesic efficacy of transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block is controversial in pediatric patients undergoing herniotomy. This study aims to compare the efficacy of TFP block and standard analgesic methods.
Methods: Sixty patients aged 1-8 years who underwent the open procedure of herniotomy were randomly divided into two groups TFP block (n = 30) or control group (n = 30).

Mitochondrial trifunctional protein (TFP) deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder leading to a block in long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation. Mutations in HADHA and HADHB, which encode the TFP α and β subunits, respectively, usually result in combined TFP deficiency. A single common mutation, HADHA c.

Type IV pili (TFP) contribute to the ability of microbes such as to engage with and move across surfaces. We reported previously that TFP generate retractive forces of ∼30 pN and provided indirect evidence that TFP-mediated surface attachment was enhanced in the presence of the Pel polysaccharide. Here, we use different mutants defective in flagellar, Pel production or TFP production - alone or in combination - to decipher the relative contribution of these biofilm-promoting factors for adhesion.
