Updates in Non-Operating Room Anesthesia.

Curr Opin Anaesthesiol

Will Cornell Medicine, New York.

Published: March 2025

Purpose Of Review: With an increase in the number and complexity of procedures in nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) locations, navigating the landscape of planning, scheduling, workflow, and patient and clinician safety adds to the challenges of NORA space, requiring coordination of multiple teams and regulatory platforms.

Recent Findings: With the constant increase in cases performed in the NORA space, expected to reach 50% of all anesthetics in the next decade, significant strides must be made in assuring patients' and clinicians' safety. New procedures have been developed and approved in all procedural areas, and anesthesiologists are leading the charge in getting all stakeholders together. Anesthesia departments face increased demand for those services, so establishing a NORA leadership to collaborate and coordinate the efforts is very important.

Summary: The review summarizes new developments in different procedural areas and their anesthetic management, and new recommendations by the American Society of Anesthesiology and Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation for the safe conduct of anesthesia in the NORA space.

Impact of posture and axial loading on lumbar intervertebral disc dimensions investigated by transabdominal ultrasound.

Eur J Radiol

December 2024

Faculty of Medicine, University of Zurich. Pestalozzistrasse 3, 8032 Zurich, Switzerland; Department of Radiology, Balgrist University Hospital, University of Zurich. Forchstrasse 340, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland. Electronic address:

Purpose: To use transabdominal ultrasound (US) to investigate the impact of posture and axial loading on the lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) dimensions in healthy adults.

Method: For this single-center, prospective cross-sectional study 54 healthy volunteers (mean age 23.76 ± 3, 26 men) underwent transabdominal US.

Background: Non-OR Anesthesia (NORA) is rapidly becoming standard in many high-volume institutions and efficiency in these spaces has yet to be optimized. On-time first start percentage has been suggested to correlate with more efficient flow, and this correlation is established within the surgical space.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of timetable targets on first case on-time first start percentage within a NORA setting.

Achievement of Target Gain Larger than Unity in an Inertial Fusion Experiment.

Phys Rev Lett

February 2024

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, P.O. Box 808, Livermore, California 94551-0808, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • * This experiment produced 2.05 MJ of laser energy, resulting in 3.1 MJ of total fusion yield, which exceeds the Lawson criterion for ignition, demonstrating a key milestone in fusion research.
  • * The report details the advancements in target design, laser technology, and experimental methods that contributed to this historic achievement, validating over five decades of research in laboratory fusion.

Background: PRDM16 plays a role in myocardial development through TGF-β (transforming growth factor-beta) signaling. Recent evidence suggests that loss of PRDM16 expression is associated with cardiomyopathy development in mice, although its role in human cardiomyopathy development is unclear. This study aims to determine the impact of PRDM16 loss-of-function variants on cardiomyopathy in humans.
