Sleep disturbances impact over half of older children and teens with acquired brain injury (ABI) following critical care hospitalization but are underevaluated in infants and young children. Given the importance of sleep in brain development and healing after injury, we hypothesized sleep disturbances would be associated with worse neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with ABI.

We performed a retrospective cohort study of 68 children aged 2-32 months following critical care hospitalization for ABI. The Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire assessed sleep disturbances. Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition and Adaptive Behavior Assessment System, third edition assessed developmental and adaptive functioning outcomes, respectively.
tests compared sleep characteristics in infants with ABI to historical healthy controls. Spearman's correlation evaluated relationships among sleep and outcomes. Multiple linear regression investigated relationships controlling for demographic and ABI cha acquired brain injury.

People with HIV should take medicine (called ART) recommended by WHO as soon as possible to reduce the amount of virus in the body. In this paper, we formulate a mathematical model for HIV/AIDS with a new approach by focusing on two groups of infectious individuals, HIV and AIDS. We also introduce a controlled class (treated patients and being monitored), and people in this class can spread the disease. We further investigate the essential dynamics of the model through an equilibrium analysis. Optimal control theory is applied to explore effective treatment strategies by combining two control measures standard antiretroviral therapy and AIDS treatments. Numerical simulation results show the effects of the two time-dependent controls, and they can be used as guidelines for public health interventions.
The Neck Imaging Reporting and Data System (NI-RADS) is used to assess imaging after head and neck cancer treatment. We evaluated NI-RADS with general neuroradiologists rather than with head and neck subspecialists.

Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations with/without positron emission tomography from May 2018 to September 2020 were retrospectively identified. NI-RADS scores at the primary site and lymph nodes were provided by 21 neuroradiologists. Recurrence status was based on clinical and imaging findings. Area under the curve (AUC) was used to assess accuracy.

We assessed 608 scans from 464 patients. For NI-RADS categories 1, 2, and 3, primary site recurrence rates were 5%, 29%, and 65% with AUC of 0.765, while lymph node recurrence rates were 3%, 10%, and 80% with AUC of 0.820.

NI-RADS as used by general neuroradiologists is effective in separating head and neck cancers into discrete categories for predicting recurrent disease.

It is a mitochondrial disorder with defective electron transfer flavoproteins or electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenases. They are vital for β-oxidation of fatty acids, an essential fuel for skeletal and cardiac muscles. It is also an important source of energy during starvation for the brain. Acute deterioration of these patients can occur during stressful periods like starvation, surgery, infection, and exercise. The anaesthetic management is a challenge with special emphasis on minimizing starvation, ensuring hydration and glucose supplementation, and considering the various effects of anaesthetic agents on the mitochondrial function. The anaesthetic management of a patient with multiple acetyl CoA dehy- drogenase scheduled for modified radical mastectomy is described. General anaesthesia can be administered safely in these patients with special emphasis on hydration, glucose supplementation, avoidance of stressors, and monitoring of metabolic status.An otherwise healthy man in his 40s recently diagnosed with esophageal adenocarcinoma sustained an air embolism during the insertion of a mediport under mild sedation that was noted while using pulse fluoroscopy to ensure good visibility of adequate placement of the catheter tip. Pulse fluoroscopy allowed the early detection of a potentially catastrophic situation caused by air in the right heart and main pulmonary artery, thus allowing prompt correction of the mistake that had allowed the air embolism to occur. Pulse fluoroscopy eliminates or greatly reduces the blurred vision of highly mobile objects and enhances the view of low contrast objects thus enhancing imaging quality.Coronavirus disease 19 infection clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic cases to acute respiratory distress syndromes. In some cases, pulmonary fibrosis is observed after or during the disease. Pirfenidone is an agent approved for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Here we report a patient treated with pirfenidone for pulmonary fibrosis related to coronavirus disease 19.The infants are explicitly vulnerable to develop anaesthesia-related complications, with micropreemies being at the end of the spectrum because of their unique morphological and physiological features. Airway changes in pediatric patients are most exaggerated in these tiny infants and their immature lungs provide a little reserve, and therefore, securing airways can be challenging in this population. Moreover, many devices available for managing difficult airways in adults are not available for use in this miniature version. Videolaryngoscopes are a useful addition to anaesthesiologists' armamentarium but for micropreemies, size of videolaryngoscope can be a limiting factor as no vide- olaryngoscope comes in "00" size. The technique of videolaryngoscope may need to be modified in these patients. Regional anaesthesia can be an invaluable component of their perioperative care to facilitate a smooth recovery. The successful management of these vulnerable neonates requires a multidisciplinary team approach to maintain perioperative homeostasis of their immature organ systems.
Local anaesthetics administered into the peritoneal cavity have been successfully used for post-operative pain relief in minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. We intended to study and compare nebulized intraperitoneal ropivacaine with and without nalbuphine, with a placebo for post-operative pain relief in these surgeries.

A prospective, randomized double-blinded study was conducted over a period of 1 year after institutional ethical clearance, in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Subjects were randomized into 3 groups (S saline, R ropivacaine, RN ropiva- caine plus nalbuphine). The pain was assessed in the post-operative period using NRS scores (up to 24 hours). Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison, P < .05 was considered significant. Time to first rescue analgesia, total opioid requirement, and side effects were also recorded.

Groups were similar in terms of demographic data. Patients in the placebo group reported higher NRS scores than the other 2 study groups till 4 hours post-operative (earlier rescue analgesia). The addition of nalbuphine did not cause any statistically significant improvement in post-operative pain relief (NRS) as compared to ropivacaine administered alone. Intraperitoneal ropivacaine nebulization had no significant adverse effect as compared to placebo.

Ropivacaine nebulization with or without nalbuphine is more effective than placebo for post-operative pain relief after lapa- roscopic cholecystectomy without significant side effects. Addition of nalbuphine to ropivacaine nebulization does not significantly improve pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Although suppression of intraperitoneal gas insufflation response is possible with a higher dose of opioids, sedatives, and inha- lational agents, delayed emergence and poor clinical recovery are still a matter of concern. Here our primary aim was to assess the quality of recovery and the secondary aim includes postinsufflation response, postoperative pain intensity, total opioid requirement, and looking for adverse effects, if any.

This prospective randomized double-blinded controlled study was conducted among 75 American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status I and II patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgeries under general anaesthesia. Group 1 received injection tramadol 1 mg kg-1 iv-1 5 minutes after intubation. Similarly, groups 2 and 3 received 0.25 mg kg-1 and 0.5 mg kg-1 injection of ketamine iv, respectively. Intraperitoneal insufflation response was observed from the beginning of insufflation till 15 minutes. Clinical recovery was measured in terms of vigilance, cognition, orientation, and comfort. Postoperative pain intensity was assessed at varying movement activities using numerical rating scale pain score and with the total opioid requirement. The collected data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA.

Groups 1 and 2 had a fair clinical recovery. Postoperative pain intensity was least in group 2, and the postinsufflation mean arterial pressure was higher in groups 1 and 3. A total of 32% of participants had delirium in group 3.

Clinical recovery and perioperative analgesia were better in ketamine group (0.25 mg kg-1) without any perturbations in intra- operative pneumoperitoneal response. Hence it can be considered an optimal adjuvant in laparoscopic surgeries.

This article aimed to study preoperative fasting times in children undergoing elective surgery and to analyze the effect of active interventions conducted to promote compliance with current fasting guidelines.

An initial audit was performed in which 85 children up to 15 years of age posted for elective surgeries were surveyed. A question- naire was circulated among nurses, resident medical officers, and surgeons to assess their knowledge regarding recent fasting guidelines and its importance. The mean preoperative fasting times were found to be much longer than the recommended guidelines. Interventions were carried out to spread awareness about recent preoperative fasting guidelines. RXC004 A re-audit was done 4 months after the initial audit.

The initial audit revealed a mean preoperative fasting time for solids and water to be 9.43 hours and 6.64 hours, respectively. About 43.6% of hospital staff believed "fasting from midnight" regimen is the best method to prevent pulmonary aspiration. Incorrect orders by doctors (47%) and ward nurses (38%) were found to be important causes of non-adherence.
