INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain is one of the most frequent clinical problems after inguinal hernia surgery. Despite more than two decades of research and numerous publications, no evidence exists to allow for chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) specific treatment algorithms.

Adiponectin Promotes Neurogenesis After Transient Cerebral Ischemia Through STAT3 Mediated BDNF Upregulation in Astrocytes by Liang Yu
Newborn neurons from the subventricular zone (SVZ) are essential to functional recovery following ischemic stroke. However, the number of newly generated neurons after stroke is far from enough to support a potent recovery. Adiponectin could increase neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of hippocampus in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the effect of adiponectin on the neurogenesis from…
Stellate Ganglion Block Improves Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in aged rats by SIRT1-mediated White Matter Lesion Repair by Jun Zhang
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication of the central nervous system after surgery, especially in elderly patients. Many factors can influence POCD, one of which is white matter lesion. Nowadays, stellate ganglion block (SGB) is considered as an effective intervention for postoperative cognitive dysfunction and SIRT1 may play a role in that, but…

Cardiovascular Responses to Nasal Stimulation Under Ethmoidal-Maxillary Nerve Block and Lidocaine Gel in Anesthetized Beagles by Hyunseok Kim
This study aimed to compare the effect of ethmoidal-maxillary nerve block (EMBLOCK) and topical application of 2% lidocaine gel (LGEL) on cardiovascular variables (heart rate and arterial blood pressure) during mechanical stimulation of the nasal cavity. The working hypothesis was that both techniques (EMBLOCK and LGEL) similarly blunt the cardiovascular responses to the stimulation. Six…
Sleep Disruption and Activation of Cellular Inflammation Mediate Heightened Pain Sensitivity: A Randomized Clinical Trial by Michael R Irwin
Sleep loss heightens pain sensitivity, but the pathways underlying this association are not known. Given that experimental sleep disruption induces increases in cellular inflammation as well as selective loss of slow wave, N3 sleep, this study examined whether these mechanisms contribute to pain sensitivity following sleep loss in healthy adults. This assessor-blinded, cross-over sleep condition,…
Investigation of the Electrophysiological and Thermographic Safety Parameters of Surgical Energy Devices during Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery in a Porcine Model by Hsin-Yi Tseng
In thyroid and parathyroid surgery, surgical energy devices (SEDs) provide more efficient hemostasis than conventional clamp-and-tie hemostasis in areas with rich blood supply. However, when a SED is activated near the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), the heat generated by the SED may injure the nerve irreversibly. To safely apply SEDs in thyroid/parathyroid surgery, this article…
Commentary on “Outcomes of Convalescent Plasma with Defined High versus Lower Neutralizing Antibody Titers against SARS-CoV-2 among Hospitalized Patients: CoronaVirus Inactivating Plasma (CoVIP) Study” by Michael J Joyner
The totality of evidence favors the efficacy of convalescent plasma to treat COVID-19 when high-titer plasma is administered early in the course of disease or to immunocompromised patients. In this commentary, we frame the findings of L. A. Bartelt, A. J. Markmann, B. Nelson, J. Keys, et al. (mBio 13:e01751-22, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.01751-22) in the context…

Acute Infarcts on Brain MRI Following Aortic Arch Repair With Circulatory Arrest: Insights From the ACE CardioLink-3 Randomized Trial by Chih-Hao Chen
CONCLUSIONS: In patients who underwent elective proximal aortic arch surgery, new ischemic brain lesions were common, and predominantly involved the middle cerebral artery territory or cerebellum. Underlying small vessel disease, lower temperature nadir during surgery, and advanced age were risk factors for perioperative ischemic lesions.
Efficacy of preventive use of oxygen therapy after planned extubation in high-risk patients with extubation failure: A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials by Xiaozhuo Zheng
CONCLUSION: Preventive use of NIV + HFNC after scheduled extubation is probably the most effective respiratory support method for preventing reintubation, respiratory failure and ICU death in high-risk patients with extubation failure. HFNC alone seems to be the best method to shorten ICU stay and LOS.
Mild-to-Moderate Kidney Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Disease: Observational and Mendelian Randomization Analyses by Liam Gaziano
CONCLUSIONS: In people without manifest cardiovascular disease or diabetes, mild-to-moderate kidney dysfunction is causally related to risk of CHD, highlighting the potential value of preventive approaches that preserve and modulate kidney function.
