Context: Postoperative pain occurs in 25%-60% of patients following endodontic treatment. It can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and requires timely management or, preferably, prevention.
Aims: The present systematic review was conducted aiming to analyze randomized controlled trials that compared postoperative pain in patients whose canals were shaped by XPS versus other endodontic file systems.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search was performed using key terms "postoperative pain" AND "XP-endo Shaper" across multiple databases to identify relevant randomized controlled trials. Details concerning the study design, endodontic preparation, XP-endo Shaper-related factors, and pain assessment were recorded. The risk of bias was calculated using the RevMan 5.3 software. Meta-analysis done using the random effects model which was represented using forest plots.
Results: Six studies evaluating a total of = 290 samples of XP-endo Shaper file and other file systems each, respectively, were included in the final review and meta-analysis. The standard mean difference ranged from 0.8 to 2.88 with a mean of 1.04 (0.80-2.88) favoring other file systems. This signifies that the postoperative pain is on average 1.04 times more by other file systems as compared to XP-endo Shapers file although the difference was statistically nonsignificant ( > 0.05).
Conclusions: XP-endo Shaper has proven to be a relatively more efficient file system that effectively cleans and shapes the root canals, including those with difficult anatomy.

Objectives: Postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting adversely affect postoperative rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We aimed to identify factors associated with postoperative pain trajectory and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and evaluated the effects of different analgesic modalities.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing unilateral primary TKA from 2017 to 2022.
Analgesic Safety and Efficacy of Peri-Operative Posterior Cervical Muscle Plane Blocks in Elective Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analyses.

Objective: Posterior cervical spine surgery can result in significant discomfort in the post-operative period. Post-operative pain management presents a challenge, particularly in the elderly population which is more sensitive to adverse effects from analgesia. We aimed to compare outcomes after peri-operative posterior cervical muscle plane blocks versus patients who received general anesthesia only.

Aims And Background: Local anesthetics play a crucial role in pain management in pediatric dentistry, where anxiety and fear are common among young patients. This study aimed to compare the anesthetic efficacy of 2% lignocaine with a 20-gauge needle in an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) and 4% articaine with a 24-gauge needle in a buccal nerve block (BNB) during the extraction of dentoalveolar abscesses in children aged 5-11 years.
Materials And Methods: A 12-month randomized controlled trial involving 100 healthy children was conducted following ethical standards.
Bilateral Continuous Thoracic Paravertebral Block for the Pain Management of Multiple Rib Fractures With Flail Chest: A Case Report.

Anesthesiology, Showa University Northern Yokohama Hospital, Yokohama, JPN.
Flail chest is a life-threatening condition characterized by multiple rib fractures that result in a partially free rib cage. Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) allows visualization of the needle tip under ultrasound guidance and can be safely performed, unlike epidural anesthesia where the needle tip cannot be visualized. Here, we describe a case of flail chest in whom TPVB was used, as it provides the same level of analgesia as epidural anesthesia and has a perfect analgesic effect.
