2. Bilateral versus unilateral erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized controlled study
Abstract Introduction Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the common surgical intervention for benign biliary diseases. Postoperative pain after LC remains as an important problem, with two components: somatic and visceral. Trocar entry incisions lead to somatic pain, while peritoneal distension with diaphragm irritation leads to visceral pain. Following i

3. The relationship between premature ventricular complexes and index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Premature ventricular complexes are common in healthy individuals’ ambulatory monitoring. The index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance may predict malignant ventricular arrhythmias. This study investigated the relation between Premature ventricular complex burden and index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance in 24-h Holter moni

6. Impact of topical airway anesthesia on immediate postoperative cough/bucking: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background Postoperative cough may occur after tracheal intubation, but it is indistinct which drug is best at diminishing these events. Additionally, airway reflexes are commonly accompanied by severe hemodynamics responses during emergence. Objectives To evaluate the role of topical airway anesthesia on immediate post-extubation cough/bucking an

7. Carbon Dots from Pilosocereus gounellei for Fluorimetric Determination of Tannin in Tea Using a Flow-Batch System
In this study, xiquexique (Pilosocereus gounellei) native endemic cactus from the Brazilian semiarid was used for the first time as a natural carbon source (“green precursor”) for the synthesis of highly fluorescent carbon dots (CDs). These CDs were successfully used to develop a fast, low-cost, eco-friendly fluorescence method for the determination of t

9. Early versus late sphenopalatine ganglion block with ropivacaine in postdural puncture headache: an observational study
Abstract Background Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of neuraxial techniques which delays patients’ discharge. Sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) is a safe bedside technique with comparable efficacy to Epidural Blood Patch, the gold-standard treatment. There is no evidence on the ideal timing for SPGB performance. We aimed to
