Ultrasound-guided at T7 level only intervention group provide block. intraoperative requirement for remifentanil (P = 0.021) and...

PARPs play fundamental roles in multiple DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Persistent nuclear PARP activation causes cellular NAD

Pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is multifactorial and usually not effectively treated. Rectus sheath block (RSB) has been proven to reduce the pain from midline abdominal incision surgery. We investigated preemptive analgesic effect of RSB LC.In this prospective, randomized, single-center trial, 200 patients undergoing LC were randomized into preoperative (pre-RSB) or postoperative (post-RSB) group. An ultrasound-guided was performed before skin in pre-RSB group closure post-RSB...

Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) is strongly associated with decreased immune function, a factor of cancer development. Previous studies suggested inconsistent results regarding the association between HZ and increased risk. We aimed to analyze specific Methods: Of 134,454 patients diagnosed 2002 2015, 81,993 were matched 1:1 non-HZ individuals by age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index. Both groups examined at 1, 3, 5 years for diagnosis. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was used...

Introduction Real-time ultrasound-guided thoracic epidural catheter placement (US-TECP) has been recently introduced. Patient’s position is associated with the success of spine interventions; however, effects on outcome procedure remain unknown. We aimed to assess clinical usefulness patient positioning during real-time US-TECP. Methods Patients were randomly assigned prone group (group P) and sitting S). The primary was needling time procedure. secondary outcomes mark space, total number...

The preemptive visceral analgesic effect of regional nerve block has not been adequately investigated to date. We evaluated the thoracic paravertebral (TPVB) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) whom pre-incisional rectus sheath (RSB) was used minimize somatic surgical pain.In this prospective, randomized, assessor-blind study, 70 scheduled for elective LC were randomly assigned pre-TPVB (n = 35) or post-TPVB group. Both groups received RSB, and group TPVB before skin...

BACKGROUND: Although the ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) is usually regarded as an easy and safe procedure in clinical settings, there currently no report on complications incidence. Therefore, present study investigated a large cohort described technical considerations to minimize of real-time RSBs. METHODS: This was retrospective patients who underwent RSBs for perioperative pain control laparoscopic surgery with umbilical port between February 1, 2017, 28, 2021, at Asan...

Blinatumomab showed a higher complete remission (CR) rate and safe bridging to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R BCP-ALL).We tried analyze the outcome of blinatumomab compared real-world historical data. We expected superior conventional chemotherapy.We conducted retrospective study using data Catholic Hematology Hospital.Total 197 consecutive cases R/R BCP-ALL were treated...

Objective To investigate the change in pulse transit time (PTT)-time between electrocardiographic R wave and highest point of corresponding plethysmographic wave-after lumbar sympathetic ganglion block (LSGB) evaluate PTT as an indicator successful LSGB. Methods Sixteen cases sympathetically mediated lower extremity neuropathic pain treated with LSGB were studied. Correlations changes temperature used to identify cutoff indicating Results rate at 5 min relative baseline (dPTT5/PTT0)...

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare form of that associated with significant mortality. It can cause cardiac arrest during cesarean section even though the patient does not have any previous symptom and sign. The most important thing anesthesia in this an optimization hemodynamic respiratory status. We report successful general using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for 34-year-old woman fulminant peripartum cardiomyopathy. Keywords: Extracorporeal oxygenation; General anesthesia;

Introduction Fluoroscopy can improve the success rate of thoracic epidural catheter placement (TECP). Real-time ultrasound (US)-guided TECP was recently introduced and showed a high first-pass rate. We tested whether real-time US-guided results in non-inferior compared with that fluoroscopy-guided TECP. Methods In this single-center, non-inferiority, randomized trial, primary outcome comparison between US guidance (US group) fluoroscopic (fluoroscopy group). Secondary outcomes included time...

To determine the best block mode among different sizes in H.264/AVC, rate distortion cost is used as a determining factor. This process requires relatively large amount of computation to encounter all combinations MBs. In this paper, new fast inter-mode decision algorithm proposed context. The method reduces number candidate modes using direct information from co-located macroblock(s). A novel motion complexity analysis scheme also discussed paper which strong enough categorize moving...
