Racial Implicit Bias and Communication Among Physicians in a Simulated Environment
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cross-sectional study, a high-fidelity simulation calibrated with cognitive stressors common to clinical environments elicited the expected influence of racial implicit bias on physicians' communication skills. The outlined process and preliminary results can inform the development and evaluation of interventions that seek to address racial implicit bias in clinical encounters and improve physician communication with Black patients.PMID:38506811 | DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.2181 (Source: Pain Physician)

Anxiety and depression among adults with haemophilia A: Patient and physician reported symptoms from the real-world European CHESS II study
CONCLUSION: While adverse clinical outcomes appear to correlate with A/D, self-reports of moderate-severe symptoms occasionally lacked formal recognition from treating physicians. Cross-disciplinary surveillance of mental health issues could improve both psychological and clinical outcomes among PwHA.PMID:38507035 | DOI:10.1111/hae.14989 (Source: Pain Physician)

Examining disparities in regional anaesthesia and pain medicine
Br J Anaesth. 2024 Mar 19:S0007-0912(24)00091-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bja.2024.02.015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn high-resource countries, health disparities exist in both treatment approaches and health outcomes. Race and ethnicity can serve as proxies for other socioeconomic factors and social determinants of health such as income, education, social support, and residential neighbourhood, which strongly influence health outcomes and disparities. In regional anaesthesia and pain medicine, disparities exist across several surgical specialties including obstetrics, paediatrics, and orthopaedic surgery. Understanding these d...

Career and life planning in the context of the postgraduate medical training - current challenges and opportunities
CONCLUSION: Parenthood and the use of parental leave and part-time work appear to have a significant impact on the career paths of those surveyed. Although the majority of directors of medical training programs are open to job-sharing models, further measures are needed in order to equalize career opportunities for men and women.PMID:38504867 | PMC:PMC10946217 | DOI:10.3205/zma001660 (Source: Pain Physician)

Case report: Organ donation after euthanasia for psychiatric suffering: some of the practical and ethical lessons Martijn taught us
In conclusion, the article advocates for a nuanced approach, respecting patients' altruistic wishes while at the same time addressing challenges associated with ODE in psychiatric suffering. Where possible, and within the current medical, ethical and legal boundaries, the importance of facilitating organ donation without unnecessarily prolonging the suffering of competent psychiatric patients seeking euthanasia is emphasized. The topic calls, for example, for further qualitative research to understand the stakeholders' perspectives to determine the perceived possibilities on the one hand and boundaries on the other.PMID:38...

Effectiveness of Radiofrequency Ablation for Treatment of Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia: A Systematic Review of the Current Literature
CONCLUSION: RFA is efficacious in treating GPN with over 80% of patients experiencing postprocedure pain relief. However, further research in the form of clinical and controlled trials is needed to contribute to a better understanding of RFA's long-term outcomes for patients with GPN.PMID:38506675 (Source: Pain Physician)

Unilateral or Bilateral Percutaneous Endoscopic Debridement and Drainage for Thoracolumbar Infections: A Systemic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Both UPEDD and BPEDD can provide a relatively reliable causative-pathogen identification and satisfactory clinical outcome. The 2 techniques are not significantly different in terms of positive bacteria culture rate, pain control satisfaction rate, complication rate, and reoperation rate.PMID:38506676 (Source: Pain Physician)

A Comparison of Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques and Standard Open Discectomy for Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Network Meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to standard open discectomy, minimally invasive surgical procedures not only achieve satisfactory efficacy, but also microendoscopic discectomy and percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy can obtain a more satisfactory short-term VAS score and ODI score. Microendoscopic discectomy has significant advantages in blood loss and reoperation rate, and tubular discectomy has fewer postoperative complications.PMID:38506677 (Source: Pain Physician)

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Analgesic Effects of Lidocaine Administered Intravenously or Intraperitoneally Post-Abdominal Surgery
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggests that post-abdominal surgery intraperitoneal lidocaine administration has a better analgesic effect than intravenous lidocaine, with a lower pain score. However, intravenous lidocaine is more beneficial for gastrointestinal recovery after abdominal surgery.PMID:38506678 (Source: Pain Physician)
