Objective: Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) following thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery is a common and challenging complication. Identifying risk factors and predictive markers is essential for improving patient outcome.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, the clinical data from 106 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection between January 2021 and December 2023 were comprehensively analyzed.
Background: Anakinra is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). Since IL-1 has been shown to play a key role in the etiology of different autoinflammatory diseases, blocking its pathway has become an important therapeutic target, even in neonates.
Aims: We aimed to report our experience in using anakinra to treat specific neonatal inflammatory conditions.

Psychological resilience refers to an individual's capacity to adapt effectively to adversity, challenges, and threats, and may play a significant role in overcoming FOP and avoidance behavior.
