CAFs‐mediated histone lactylation reprograms cholesterol metabolism in colorectal cancer to drive CD8+ T cell immunosuppression

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract The progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) is critically regulated by cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor microenvironment (TME), yet the specific molecular mechanisms by which CAFs influence CRC remain unclear. This study reveals the mechanism by which CAFs promote CRC malignant progression and immune suppression through ...

Preoperative caudal blocks associated with decreased cumulative opioid requirements compared to postoperative caudal blocks in pediatric urologic surgery

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Caudal blocks (CB) are a cornerstone of pediatric urologic surgery, providing effective analgesia while mitigating potential neurotoxicity associated with general anesthesia and opioids. However, the optimal timing of CB—preoperative versus postoperative—remains controversial.

Penile intracavernosal injection of succinylcholine for laryngospasm management during hypospadias repair

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Laryngospasm is a serious anesthetic complication that can lead to acute airway obstruction and hypoxemia. Standard management involves deepening anesthesia and administering succinylcholine intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM). However, if IV access is lost or IM drug delivery is too slow, alternative routes are required.
