Background: Early postoperative mobilization is important for enhanced recovery but can be hindered by orthostatic intolerance. However, study on postoperative orthostatic intolerance in thoracoscopic lung resection is limited. Thus, this investigation aims to examine the prevalence and variables contributing to orthostatic intolerance on the first day following thoracoscopic lung cancer resection.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted from February 01 to May 05, 2023, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. Typically, 215 subjects subjected to thoracoscopic lung resection were enrolled in this study. Their general information, disease, and treatment information were collected, and the occurrence of orthostatic intolerance was recorded.
Results: Typically, 64 patients (29.77%) demonstrated orthostatic intolerance during early mobilization, and 43.75% failed to walk. The prevalence of nausea, dizziness, and impaired vision was 60.94%, 92.19%, and 25.00%, respectively, and no patient experienced syncope. The factors shown to be independently linked with orthostatic intolerance were being female (OR = 2.98, 1.53 to 5.82) and high pain level during sitting (OR = 2.69, 1.79 to 4.04). Individuals with orthostatic intolerance had a longer postoperative hospital stay with a mean of 5.42 days against 4.25 days (p = 0.003).
Conclusions: Orthostatic intolerance was prevalent following thoracoscopic lung cancer resection and affected patients' capability to mobilize and prolonged postoperative hospitalization. Being female and having high pain levels during sitting were identified as independent factors for orthostatic intolerance. This suggests that more emphasis should be given to risky patients, and for these groups, we may optimize pain management to adjust the risk of emerging orthostatic intolerance, facilitating early mobilization and early postoperative rehabilitation.

Objective: The objective of this study was to confirm that early mobilization (EM) could reduce pneumonia in patients undergoing robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (TESCC).
Methods: Postoperative pneumonia was defined as physician-diagnosed pneumonia using the Esophagectomy Complications Consensus Group definition of pneumonia with a Clavien-Dindo classification grade II-V on postoperative day (POD) 3-5. EM was defined as achieving an ICU Mobility Scale (IMS) ≥7 by POD 2.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic multisystem disease characterized by severe muscle fatigue, pain, dizziness, and brain fog. The two most common symptoms are post-exertional malaise (PEM) and orthostatic intolerance (OI). ME/CFS patients with OI (ME+OI) suffer from dizziness or faintness due to a sudden drop in blood pressure while maintaining an upright posture.

When undergoing or about to undergo a needle-related procedure, most people are not aware of the adverse emotional and physical reactions (so-called vasovagal reactions; VVR), that might occur. Thus, rather than relying on self-report measurements, we investigate whether we can predict VVR levels from the video sequence containing facial information measured during the blood donation. We filmed 287 blood donors throughout the blood donation procedure where we obtained 1945 videos for data analysis.

Background: Both psychogenic pseudosyncope (PPS) and vasovagal syncope (VVS) in children and adolescents are diseases of transient loss of consciousness. It is difficult to distinguish them clinically. This paper will study the differential diagnostic value of P wave dispersion (Pd) and QT interval dispersion (QTd) between PPS and VVS.

Background: We have noted that some adolescents and young adults with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) report difficulty with arms-overhead activities, suggestive of brachial plexus dysfunction or thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). In the TOS literature, diagnostic maneuvers focus on the provocation of upper limb symptoms (arm fatigue and heaviness, paresthesias, neck and upper back pain), but not on elicitation of systemic symptoms.
Objectives: To estimate the proportion of patients with fatiguing illness who experience local and systemic symptoms during a common maneuver used in evaluating TOS-the elevated arm stress test (EAST).
