Machine learning in the prediction and detection of new-onset atrial fibrillation in ICU: a systematic review
This study aims to provide a comprehensive literature review on the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms for predicting and detecting new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in ICU-treated patients. Following the PRISMA recommendations, this systematic review outlines ML models employed in the prediction and detection of NOAF in ICU patients and compares the ML-based approach with clinical-based methods. Inclusion criteria comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational studies, cohort studies, and case –control studies. A total of five articles published between November 2020 and April 2023 were ide...

Effects of palliative intrathecal analgesia on patients with refractory cancer bone pain
This study examined the effects of intrathecal analgesia (ITA) using an extracorporeal pump with a subcutaneous port system in cancer patients with bone metastasis. Among the patients who died of cancer with bone metastasis at the palliative care unit of our institution, 11 who received ITA were selected. Changes in pain, opioid doses, the palliative prognostic index (PPI), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Scale after ITA were assessed. Pain, opioid doses, and PPI decreased after ITA (P = 0.002, 0.002, and 0.017). ITA for cancer patients with increased PPI due to refractory cancer bone pain decreas...

Perinatal outcomes comparison between neuraxial and general anesthesia in pregnant women with placenta accreta spectrum: a multicenter retrospective study
ConclusionIn comparison to GA, cesarean delivery with NA in PAS patients appears to be associated with reduced intraoperative blood loss, PRBC transfusion, operating duration, and postoperative hospital stay. (Source: Journal of Anesthesia)

Neurosteroids and their potential as a safer class of general anesthetics
AbstractNeurosteroids (NS) are a class of steroids that are synthesized within the central nervous system (CNS). Various NS can either enhance or inhibit CNS excitability and they play important biological roles in brain development, brain function and as mediators of mood. One class of NS, 3 α-hydroxy-pregnane steroids such as allopregnanolone (AlloP) or pregnanolone (Preg), inhibits neuronal excitability; these endogenous NS and their analogues have been therapeutically applied as anti-depressants, anti-epileptics and general anesthetics. While NS have many favorable properties as ane sthetics (e.g. rapid onset, rapid r...

Targeted local anesthesia: a novel slow-release Fe3O4 –lidocaine–PLGA microsphere endowed with a magnetic targeting function
ConclusionMagnetically responsive lidocaine microspheres can prolong analgesia by slowly releasing lidocaine, which can be immobilized around the nerve by a magnetic field on the body surface, avoiding premature diffusion of the microspheres to surrounding tissues and improving drug targeting.

Effect of epidural analgesia on cervical ripening using dinoprostone vaginal inserts
ConclusionEpidural analgesia as labor relaxant adversely affected the progression of uterine cervical ripening when dinoprostone vaginal inserts were used, whereas it did not affect cervical ripening when a mechanical cervical dilatation balloon was used. The present results are significant for choosing the appropriate ripening method. (Source: Journal of Anesthesia)
