Remifentanil does not inhibit sugammadex reversal after rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block in the isolated hemidiaphragm of the rat: an ex vivo study
Abstract Purpose Sugammadex is used to reverse neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium or vecuronium by forming a stable complex. If the binding capacity of any substance to sugammadex is large enough, this molecule will displace rocuronium or vecuronium from the complex. For drugs used in anesthesia, the binding affinity of remifentanil for sugammadex was highest. The aim of the current study was to investigate the decrease in the reversal...

Medical cannabis for chronic pain: can it make a difference in pain management?
Abstract Globally, chronic pain is a major therapeutic challenge and affects more than 15% of the population. As patients with painful terminal diseases may face unbearable pain, there is a need for more potent analgesics. Although opioid-based therapeutic agents received attention to manage severe pain, their adverse drug effects and mortality rate associated with opioids overdose are the major concerns. Evidences from clinical trials showed therapeutic benefits of cannabis, especially...

Association between treatment-related early changes in psychological factors and development of postherpetic neuralgia
Abstract Purpose To examine the association between catastrophizing and pain intensity with acute herpes zoster, and the association of treatment-related early changes in depressive symptoms, anxiety, and catastrophizing with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) development, independent of acute pain intensity. Methods We analyzed 44 outpatient participants with...

Lipid emulsion, but not propofol, induces skeletal muscle damage and lipid peroxidation
Abstract Purpose Prolonged propofol infusion induces skeletal muscle damage. However, it is well known that the lipid emulsion that is the solvent of propofol causes various types of tissue damage via lipid peroxidation, and that propofol, conversely, has an anti-lipid peroxidative effect. The purpose of this study was to determine whether propofol or the lipid emulsion is the cause of muscle damage following prolonged administration....

Use of a curved needle to facilitate lateral sagittal infraclavicular block performance: a randomized clinical trial
Abstract Purpose Failed needle-tip positioning in an ultrasound-guided infraclavicular block can be due to improper needle insertion point and steep needle insertion angle. Needle pre-curving enables the user to pass the needle with different curved trajectories on approaching the brachial plexus. Aim of the study was to compare curved and non-curved needles as regards the time needed to perform the lateral sagittal infra-clavicular block....

Evaluation of Calf Muscular Function During the Recovery Phase After the Repair of an Achilles Tendon Rupture
Background: During the recovery phase after the repair of an Achilles tendon rupture, measuring calf muscular function is important for predicting prognosis. Tensiomyography (TMG) is a selective and non-invasive diagnostic method for skeletal muscular contractile properties based on the displacement of the muscle belly.Case Presentation: Tensiomyography gives information about maximal displacement of the muscle belly (Dm), delay time, contraction time (Tc), sustain time, and relaxation time. Using...

Application of Fluorescein Fluorescence in Vascular Neurosurgery
Background: Fluorescein sodium (FNa) is a fluorescent drug with a long history of use for assessing retinal blood flow in ophthalmology; however, its application in vascular neurosurgery is only now gaining popularity. This review summarizes the current knowledge about using FNa videoangiography in vascular neurosurgery.Methods: We performed a literature review on the usage of FNa for fluorescent videoangiography procedures in neurosurgery. We analyzed methods of injection, dosages of FNa, visualizing...

MRI-Fusion Targeted vs. Systematic Prostate Biopsy–How Does the Biopsy Technique Affect Gleason Grade Concordance and Upgrading After Radical Prostatectomy?
Introduction: MRI-targeted biopsy (TB) increases overall prostate-cancer (PCa) detection-rates and decreases the risk of insignificant PCa detection. However, the impact of these findings on the definite pathology after radical prostatectomy (RP) is under debate.Materials and Methods: Between 01/2014 and 12/2018, 366 patients undergoing prostate biopsy and RP were retrospectively analyzed. The correlation between biopsy Gleason-score (highest Gleason-score in a core) and the RP Gleason-score in patients...

Portal Vein Embolization for Future Liver Remnant Enhancement and Combined Modality Treatment for the Management of Post-hepatic Resection Biliary Fistula in an 18-Month Old Child With Hepatoblastoma
Hepatic resection is the mainstay of treatment for hepatoblastoma. However, the presence of adequate future liver remnant (FLR) is essential to prevent postoperative liver failure. Portal vein embolization (PVE) is commonly utilized in adults for promoting hypertrophy of FLR, however, it is sparingly used in children. Secondly, bile leak after liver resections is a well-defined complication. Apart from conservative treatment such as drainage and antibiotic, several management strategies including...

Torsional Necrosis of an Output Loop Internal Hernia After Roux-en-Y Choledochojejunostomy: A Case Report
Ultra-short bowel syndrome (USBS) refers to a clinical condition characterized mainly by severe diarrhea and nutritional disorders caused by the residual small intestine length of <30 cm (1). After Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy, the output loop herniated from the back of the anti-reverse peristalsis loop, resulting in intestinal torsion and necrosis, and leading to this rare case of internal hernia. Patients with torsion often show severe abdominal pain and persistent aggravation, but this symptom...

Delta-Aminolevulinic Acid-Mediated Photodiagnoses in Surgical Oncology: A Historical Review of Clinical Trials
Fluorescence imaging is an emerging clinical technique for real-time intraoperative visualization of tumors and their boundaries. Though multiple fluorescent contrast agents are available in the basic sciences, few fluorescence agents are available for clinical use. Of the clinical fluorophores, delta aminolevulinic acid (5ALA) is unique for generating visible wavelength tumor-specific fluorescence. In 2017, 5ALA was FDA-approved for glioma surgery in the United States. Additionally, clinical studies...
