Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are a series of perioperative care to optimize preoperative preparation, prevent postoperative complications, minimize stress, and speedup recovery. Tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy are common surgical procedures for chronic suppurative otitis media.

The aim of this study was to compare the rate of chronic adverse effects after a weaker and stronger postoperative analgesia.

Pain can elevate stress in people with dementia. Although salivary cortisol is used as a biomarker of stress in people with dementia, few studies have reported the feasibility of collection methods to assess salivary cortisol in nursing home residents with both dementia and chronic pain.

(1) To develop a personalized health outcome profile as a feedback tool to improve self-management in people living with chronic conditions such as HIV and (2) to evaluate the interpretability and usefulness of the feedback tool for setting specific goals.

To investigate the expression of Nogo-A in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in rats with cauda equina injury and the therapeutic effects of blocking Nogo-A and its receptor.

The purpose of the study is to compare the results of single-blind a randomized controlled trial on the use of the local hemostatic agent Haemoblock and ultrasound monitoring of postoperative wounds in patients after the large incisional hernias repair.

Immunosuppressive conditions and/or preoperative corticosteroid treatment have a negative influence on wound healing and can, therefore, lead to higher rates of surgical site infections (SSIs) and seromas. For inguinal hernia, no such studies have been carried out to date.

Microvascular decompression (MVD) for glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is associated with high complication and incomplete cure rates because of its poor ability to visualize neurovascular conflicts.

The aim of this series of cases is to show the aspects of ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography (V/Q SPECT/CT) in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia, with the worsening of respiratory symptoms raising the suspicion of a pulmonary embolism. Patients did not benefit from CT angiography for various reasons: a contraindication, unavailability of the CT angiography, or a low clinical probability for pulmonary embolism.

To evaluate the significance of untreated primary acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) osteoarthritis, encountered during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR), as a cause of persistent symptomatology and need for revision surgery.
