A rare, severe neurologic complication has been linked to general anesthesia in patients of maternal Venezuelan descent. Ophthalmologists should screen for ancestry and family history, involve anesthesiology early, and consider genetic eval
A national study reveals significant state-level and urban-rural variations in opioid prescribing following toothache diagnoses, with 15 states exceeding the national average and rural areas showing slightly lower prescription rates.
The Risk Analysis Index (RAI) significantly outperforms the modified frailty index-5 (mFI-5) in predicting mortality and major complications after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, supporting its adoption for preoperative risk assessment in sleep
The SHOSREB trial demonstrates that remimazolam besylate is non-inferior to propofol for short-term light sedation in mechanically ventilated ICU patients, with both agents achieving 97.5% successful sedation rates and comparable time withi
Researchers using human stem cell models have discovered that macrophages actively amplify the electrical signals of damaged nerves, driving the spontaneous pain characteristic of neuropathy, offering a new target for non-opioid pain relief
A randomized clinical trial demonstrates that wearable Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) provides superior 2-hour remission and significantly lower 24-hour relapse rates compared to intravenous metoclopramide for moderat
A groundbreaking human iPSC-derived co-culture study reveals that macrophages respond to neuronal injury by adopting a pro-algesic state, directly intensifying spontaneous neuronal firing—a key driver of chronic neuropathic pain and a novel
A large prospective cohort study reveals that epidural anesthesia significantly increases the success rate of external cephalic version (70.0%) and subsequent vaginal delivery (72.2%) compared to intravenous remifentanil, despite a higher i
A randomized clinical trial demonstrates that while CYP2D6 genotyping significantly shifts opioid prescribing patterns for poor and intermediate metabolizers, it does not improve pain control or reduce opioid consumption within the context
This cohort study demonstrates that postoperative sleep architecture is differentially disrupted based on surgical risk. High-risk procedures cause prolonged deficits in REM and deep sleep, which are associated with increased complications,
A randomized clinical trial demonstrates that wearable transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) provides superior symptom relief and significantly lower relapse rates compared to intravenous metoclopramide in managing moderate
This systematic review and network meta-analysis of 52 randomized trials evaluates pharmacological agents for controlled hypotension in ESS, identifying diltiazem, esmolol, and dexmedetomidine as the most effective for reducing intraoperati
A randomized, double-blind trial confirms that preemptive magnesium sulfate reduces intraoperative hemodynamic instability by nearly 50% in patients undergoing pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma resection, providing a safe and effective adj
A large-scale cluster-randomized trial involving 1,507 patients demonstrated that adding PECS I blocks to paravertebral or serratus anterior plane blocks does not reduce postoperative opioid use or improve recovery compared to paravertebral
The PRETREAT randomized clinical trial demonstrates that proactive, risk-stratified intraoperative blood pressure targets do not reduce six-month functional disability compared to standard care in noncardiac surgery patients, suggesting tha
A randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Pediatrics demonstrates that 40-Hz light stimulation via VR glasses significantly lowers the incidence of emergence delirium in pediatric patients, providing a novel, nonpharmacologic approach t
The international PROTHOR trial reveals that using higher PEEP and recruitment manoeuvres during one-lung ventilation does not decrease postoperative pulmonary complications compared to a lower PEEP strategy, while notably increasing intrao
The DOCS trial, a multi-center randomized controlled study, found that perioperative dexmedetomidine infusion did not significantly reduce in-hospital mortality or major complications in adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonar
A multicenter validation study confirms that low-dose norepinephrine at the time of extubation does not increase reintubation rates in patients with obesity, offering clinicians greater flexibility in weaning strategies for hemodynamically
The DESIGNATION trial demonstrates that driving pressure-guided high PEEP with recruitment maneuvers does not reduce postoperative pulmonary complications compared to standard low PEEP in patients undergoing open abdominal surgery, while si
