Introduction: The primary aim of this study was to examine the way in which parent stress, including adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and emotional distress, pain, and resilience, relates to child pain and mental health variables when families are establishing pediatric pain management care.

Method: Participants included 50 parent/patient dyads who were recruited from an outpatient pediatric pain clinic. The study utilized an observational design, including self-report questionnaires (parents, youth) and chart review. Questionnaires gathered information on parent ACEs, recent emotional distress, pain, and resilience, as well as child pain, anxiety, depression, and global health. The area deprivation index was used to assess family socioeconomic disadvantage, and all data were collected in 2021.

Results: Results indicated that higher levels of parent pain severity, disability, and generalized pain were associated with child pain and mental health variables, including higher levels of child generalized pain, anxiety, depression, and worse child global health. Results also indicated that high parent pain disability coupled with higher levels of ACEs increased the risk for child generalized pain.

Discussion: Parent factors may impact child pain and mental health variables for youth with chronic pain. Improved understanding of the way in which these parent variables relate to child variables may provide opportunities for improved assessment and care for youth and their families.

Trifluoroacetic Acid Induced a Cyclophilin D-Dependent Cognitive Impairment in Mice.

Aging Dis

February 2025

Geriatric Anesthesia Research Unit, Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA.

Studies have linked inhalation anesthesia and surgery to increased cognitive impairment, particularly in the elderly. Our previous research showed that isoflurane, but not desflurane, affected cognitive function in mice by modulating cyclophilin D (CypD), a key regulator of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and mitochondrial function. Both anesthetics metabolize into trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which is associated with cognitive deficits.

Effectiveness of ERAS program on postoperative recovery after gastric cancer surgery: a randomized clinical trial.

Int J Surg

March 2025

Department of Surgery and Cancer Research Institute, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Background: Previous studies have reported the effectiveness of the "enhanced recovery after surgery" program in patients who underwent gastric cancer surgery, mostly based on the 2014 gastrectomy guidelines. Therefore, based on subsequent advancements in perioperative management, this randomized, controlled, open-label, single-center study aimed to assess the impact of a recent evidence-based multimodal enhanced recovery after surgery program on the quality of early recovery after gastric cancer surgery.

Materials And Methods: This study included adult patients scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic or robotic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
