Introduction: Age has been reported as a risk factor for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. However, few reports have described risk factors for nausea and vomiting with carboplatin (CBDCA). This study investigated whether the incidence of CBDCA-induced nausea and vomiting differs with age, using 70 years as the cutoff.
Methods: Patients who underwent CBDCA for lung cancer at the Cancer Institute Hospital of Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research between November 2020 and October 2023 were included in this retrospective study. The age cut-off was set at 70 years, with complete response (CR; no vomiting/retching and no rescue medication) rate during the observation period as the endpoint.
Results: A total of 198 patients were included in the analysis, of whom 114 (57.6%) were ≥70 years old, with a CR rate of 36.9% for patients <70 years old and 61.4% for those ≥70 years old (p = 0.001). In univariate analysis, age <70 years old, female sex, no drinking history, no smoking history and CBDCA dose were associated with non-CR. In multivariate analysis, age <70 years old, no drinking history and CBDCA dose were associated with non-CR.
Conclusion: Age <70 years old, no drinking history and CBDCA dose were identified as risk factors for CBDCA-induced nausea and vomiting.

Current Strategies in Regional Anesthesia for Shoulder Surgery.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
March 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, MedStar Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, MD (Zhang and Murthi), and the Department of Anesthesiology, St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, CT (Sinha).
As arthroscopic and open shoulder surgery is increasingly performed on an outpatient basis, optimal and prolonged pain control is becoming more important while minimizing associated adverse effects. Traditional analgesic strategies relying on opioid and nonopioid medications provide inadequate pain control and are associated with undesirable adverse effects, such as opioid-related adverse effects (postoperative nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, sedation), gastric lining irritation, and renal and hepatic adverse effects. Advances in ultrasonography-guided regional anesthesia have made placement of interscalene brachial plexus nerve blocks more reliable and precise and aided development of novel phrenic nerve-sparing peripheral nerve block techniques that decrease the risk of diaphragmatic paresis and dyspnea.

Purpose: There are studies examining the effect of Chinese acupressure on postoperative nausea, vomiting, and retching, but there is no study examining the effect of Korean hand acupressure. The study was conducted to determine the effect of Korean hand acupressure applied after thyroidectomy on the number and severity of postoperative pain, nausea, vomiting, and retching.
Design: An experimental study with a post-test control group design involving randomized groups.

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.
An Unusual Presentation of Subcutaneous Inguinal Hematoma Mimicking Ovarian Torsion: A Case Report.

Background: Ovarian or adnexal torsions occur when an ovary rotates around one of the supporting ligaments, often the infundibulopelvic (IP) ligament. This rotation can cause the blood flow to the ovary to be hindered, and this decrease in perfusion can often present as adnexal pain, nausea, and vomiting. A significant risk factor for developing an ovarian torsion is the presence of an ovarian mass, such as a cyst.
