Association between frailty, as measured by the FRAIL scale, and 1-year mortality in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
BMC Geriatr
January 2025
Department of Comprehensive Surgery, The Second Medical Center and National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Diseases, Chinese PLA General Hospital, No. 28 Fu Xing Road, Beijing, 100853, China.
Background: The FRAIL scale is a concise and user-friendly tool for frailty assessment. However, its effectiveness in predicting 1-year mortality among older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between preoperative frailty, as measured by the FRAIL scale, and 1-year mortality after surgery in this population.

Department of Anesthesiology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Halo-pelvic traction is a relatively safe treatment for preoperative spinal deformity correction in patients with severe scoliosis. Common device-related complications include local infection, back discomfort, and nerve compression symptoms. However, there are potential risks of mechanical compression of bronchial structures, especially in patients with severe thoracic lordosis and scoliosis, which can lead to life-threatening airway obstruction.

January 2025
Outcomes Research Consortium, Houston, TX, USA.
Purpose: Residual neuromuscular blockade can impair postoperative respiratory mechanics, promoting hypoxemia and pulmonary complications. Sugammadex, with its unique mechanism of action, may offer a more effective reversal of neuromuscular blockade and respiratory function than neostigmine. We sought to test the primary hypothesis that children undergoing noncardiac surgery exhibit better initial recovery oxygenation when administered sugammadex than those administered neostigmine.

Curr Pain Headache Rep
January 2025
Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidade da Beira Interior, Av. Infante D. Henrique, Covilhã, 6200-506, Portugal.
Introduction: Central Post-Stroke Pain (CPSP) is a debilitating condition with a significant prevalence in stroke survivors. Set apart by its refractory to treatment neuropathic pain, it appears to arise from lesions in the spino-thalamo-cortical pathways, particularly in the thalamus. Despite advances in neuroimaging techniques, the pathophysiology of CPSP remains poorly understood, with limited diagnostic criteria and therapeutic approaches.

Prim Care Diabetes
January 2025
Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria del Principado de Asturias (ISPA), Oviedo, Spain; Department of Medicine. University of Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain; Servicio de Endocrinología y Nutrición, Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias, Oviedo, USA.
Aims: We investigated the association between the frequency of visits to general practitioners (GPs) and the degree of disease control in patients with T2DM.
Methods: This study included patients diagnosed with T2DM who visited their GPs between 2014 and 2018. A total of 89,674 patients, accounting for 1,203,035 visits, were included.
