Pharmacotherapy prophylaxis embedded in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) protocols is largely unknown because data related to agent choice, dosing, timing, and duration of treatment currently are not collected in the ERAS Interactive Audit System (EIAS®). This exploratory retrospective randomized cohort study characterized pharmacologic regimens pertaining to prophylaxis of surgical site infections (SSI), venous thromboembolism (VTE), and post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV).

The records of 250 randomly-selected adult patients that underwent elective colorectal (CR) and gynecologic/oncology procedures (GO) at an ERAS® site in North America were abstracted using REDCap. In addition to descriptive statistics, bivariate associations between categorical variables were compared.

Rates of SSI, VTE, & PONV were 3.3%, 1.1%, and 53.6%, respectively. Mean length of stay (LOS) for CR was 6.9 days and for GO, 3.5 days (p<0.001). The most common antibiotic prophylaxis was one-time combination cefazolin 2g and metronidazole 500mg between 16 and 30min preoperatively after chlorhexidine skin preparation. The most frequent VTE prophylaxis was tinzaparin 4500 units SC daily continued for at least 7 days after hospital discharge in oncology patients. PONV was related to longer LOS in both groups. Total morphine milligram equivalents (MME) was positively related to PONV and LOS in both CR & GO groups.

Guideline-consistent pharmacologic prophylaxis for SSI and VTE for both CR and GO patients was associated with low complication, LOS, and readmission rates. LOS in both groups was highly influenced by total MME, incidence of PONV and multi-modal anesthesia.

Chickenpox (Varicella) is a benign illness caused by varicella-zoster virus, predominant in childhood.Chicken pox related neurological complications are seen in less than 1% cases of chickenpox.Cerebral Venous thrombosis due to primary (VZV) infection is very rare, and it may occurs secondary to primary or re-activation the virus.

We report a case of 5-year-old female complained of ataxia, vomiting, headache, and drowsiness 7 days after the onset varicella zoster infection. She had vesicular lesions with scab over the trunk and limbs.

Neurological examination revealed left hemiparesis.Her blood counts and metabolic parameters were normal.Computed tomography brain showed hemorrhagic infarct in the left temporo-parietal region. Coagulation profile was normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain revealed hemorrhagic infarct in the same region. Magnetic resonance Venogram showed thrombosis of left transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus and internal jugular vein.VZV- IgG antibody was positive but CSF VZV PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) was found to be negative.Intravenous acyclovir for 15 days, and low-molecular-weight heparin for 3 days overlapped with oral Warfarin for 3months,. After 3 months follow up, the patient experienced a complete recovery. MRI repeated after 3 months showed recanalization of the sinuses.

The pathogenic link of occurrence of CSVT after VZV infection is unclear, but some articles showed that it is related to direct endothelial damage by the virus.Early recognition of this complication of VZV infection and prompt treatment is essential to prevent catastrophic complications.

Postoperative pain is the most common complaint in patients who underwent orthopedic surgery. Regarding with the severity of pain, orthopedic patients suffered more than non-orthopedic patients in the immediate post-operative period. Therefore, pain management is crucial for better patient outcome. Lumbar plexus (LB) and three -in-one (3IN1) nerve blocks have been routinely practiced as pain management techniques in the study area but the analgesic efficacy was not studied yet. Thus, this study was aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of the LBP versus 3IN1B as postoperative pain management after thigh orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia.

An institutional-based prospective cohort study was conducted from October 10, 2020 to March 30, 2021at the University comprehensive specialized hospital. Non-probability convenient sampling was used to select participants in both groups. The time to first analgesic request, severity of pain and total analgesia consumption within the first postoperative 24h were measured.

The mean and standard deviation to seek the first analgesia request time was 11. 55±2. 82hr and 13. 35±2. 58hr (p- 0.07) in patients who received LPB and 3IN1B respectively. Pain severity at rest and on movement was also comparable. The total tramadol consumption was 67. 65±27. 20mg and 70. 59±37. 19mg (p- 0.71), while total Diclofenac consumption was 63. 23±45. 74mg and 44. 88±34. 72mg (p-0.07) in LPB and 3IN1B groups respectively.

The study showed that there was no significant difference in the time to first analgesia request, postoperative pain, both at rest and movement and total analgesic consumption, between the LPB and 3IN1B.

There is lack of large data from South-Asian region on atrial fibrillation and it is imperative that clinical presentation, prognostic factors, management pursued, and outcomes are known for this part of the world. Once collective evidence for the region is known, region-specific guidelines can be laid forward.

To evaluate clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of atrial fibrillation at a tertiary care center of Pakistan.

This was a retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care center of Pakistan. Dactolisib price Period of study ranged from July-December 2018. All hospitalized patients who were admitted with atrial fibrillation as a primary or associated diagnosis were enrolled.

A total of 636 patients were enrolled. The mean age was 68.5±12 years and 49.5% (315) were male. 90.6% of the patients were admitted via emergency room. Majority (59.9%) had previously known AF and 40% developed new-onset AF during the hospital stay. Hypertension was the most common co-morbid condition (85.4%) followed by Diabetesy.
Cervical spondylosis is the most common cause of myelopathy in the cervical due to chronic compression of the spinal cord in patients aged 55 years or older. Recent studies suggest that olive extracts suppress inflammation and reduce stress oxidative injury. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential neuroprotective effects of olive leaf extract (OLE) in an experimental cervical spondylotic myelopathy model.

This study was divided into 6 groups; Control Negative (Sham-Operated) Group, Control Positive 1 & 2 (early chronic and chronic), Treatment Groups 1, 2 & 3 (prophylactic, concomitant & late). Olive leaf extract (OLE) give 350mg/kg BW and spinal cord sample was taken at the compression level C5. Histopathological assessment and immunohistochemistry of Amyloid-β, p-Tau, TDP-43 dan CD-68 dan evaluation of functional motoric outcome was done before animals were terminated.

Chronic spinal cord compression increased the expression of Amyloid-β, p-Tau, TDP-43 dan CD-68. OLE 350mg/kg BW decreased the expression of these biomarkers and increased functional motoric outcome, especially as prophylactic dan concomitant treatment.

These findings indicate that OLE may be effective in protecting cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

Corona virus disease (Covid-19) affects the airways and induces pulmonary lesions, patients with this disease require oxygen therapy as the disease progresses. Several oxygenation options have been used, l'HFNO had showed beneficial effects.

To evaluate the efficacy of high-flow nasal oxygen HFNO versus non-invasive ventilation in COVID-19.

This is a retrospective and comparative study conducted over a period of 10 months from March 2020 to December 2020 and involving 600 patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the CHU Mohammed VI of Oujda for the management of acute respiratory failure caused by COVID-19.

Out of 600 patients with acute respiratory failure, 265 patients were included in the analyses. 162 (61.10%) patients were treated with HFNO, the intubation rate was 49.7% (80 patients out of 162) of which 63 died intubated (78.8%). Concerning the 82 non-intubated patients, only 16 died (19.8%).The total number of patients who received NIV was 71 (26.8%), 33 (46.5%) required mechanical ventilation. In-hospital mortality in patients treated with NIV was 100%.The difference in mortality outcome between the two groups was significantly (P < 0.0001) reduced in HFNO.

Treatment with high-flow oxygen improved survival in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure compared with noninvasive ventilation, although no difference was observed in intubation rate.

The goal of this study was to examine the effect of the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion on rates of hospitalization and surgery for diverticulitis.

Data were obtained from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases from 2010 to 2014.

Retrospective cohort study analyzing adult patients undergoing surgery for diverticulitis in the expansion and nonexpansion states, pre (2010-2013) and post (2014) Medicaid expansion.

There were a total of 159,419 patients in our cohort analysis. 75,575 (49%) in expansion states and 81,844 (51%) in non-expansion states. In multivariable Poisson regression, the rate of surgical procedures for diverticular disease increased among Medicaid patients (IRR 1.80; p<.01) whereas surgery rates in self-pay patients decreased (IRR 0.67; p<.01) in expansion states compared to non-expansion states.

In states that expanded Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act, the rate of surgery for diverticular disease in Medicaid patients increased.
