Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is the most common complication following general anesthesia. Currently, pharmaceutical therapy is the primary method of treatment, but it has reached a plateau, and it is accompanied by inherent adverse reactions and high costs. Stimulation of the wrist acupuncture point PC6 is recommended as an effective means of preventing PONV.

Objective: To assess the available evidence of non-invasive or minimally invasive neuromodulation therapies in improving urodynamic outcomes, voiding diaries, and quality of life in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) after spinal cord injury (SCI).
Data Sources: A comprehensive search of 10 databases from inception until August 30, 2023 was conducted.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of conventional treatment (CT) and CT combined with sham stimulation (SS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), sacral nerve magnetic stimulation (SNMS), TMS+SNMS, sacral pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (SPEMFT), sacral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (STENS), sacral dermatomal transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (SDTENS), bladder & sacral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (B&STENS), transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS), pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES), or pelvic floor biofeedback therapy (PFBFBT) on postvoid residual volume (PVR), maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), number of voids per 24 h (V24), mean urine volume per micturition, (MUV), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), maximum detrusor pressure (MDP), maximum voiding volume (MVV), number of leakages per 24 h (L24), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) score, and spinal cord injury-quality of life (SCI-QoL)score in patients with NLUTD after SCI were included.

Non-invasive glucose monitoring represents a significant advancement in diabetes management and treatment as non-painful alternatives than finger-sticks tests. After developing an integrated Raman spectral system with a 785 nm laser, this study systematically explores the application of in vivo Raman spectroscopy for quantitative, noninvasive glucose monitoring. In addition to observing characteristic glucose spectral information from a mouse model, a strong spectral correlation was also recognized with the blood glucose concentration.

Retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction (RCPD) syndrome renders patients unable to belch, causing disabling symptoms that impact quality of life. Injection of botulinum toxin into the cricopharyngeal muscle has been reported as a trial treatment for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. We describe the injection technique, under general anesthesia using endoscopy or by transcutaneous injection with electromyographic control.
