Psychosocial Determinants of Pain in Muscle Biopsy
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Open muscle biopsy (OMB) is a key diagnostic tool for neuromuscular diseases, though patients often worry about risks and discomfort. This study aimed to assess pain during and after OMB, factors influencing pain perception, and adverse events.

ABSTRACT Background & Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) can produce bothersome urinary symptoms, impact quality of life, and in some cases, lead to deterioration of upper urinary tract function. Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxin‐A (BoNT‐A) is approved for NLUTD in patients who have an inadequate response to or ...

Error Traps in Pediatric Neuromuscular Block
ABSTRACT Background Neuromuscular blocking agents are essential for safe pediatric anesthesia but remain a frequent source of preventable morbidity when misused, inadequately monitored, or incompletely reversed. Children, particularly neonates and infants, are especially vulnerable to residual neuromuscular block due to developmental pharmacological ...

ABSTRACT Background Neostigmine is widely used to reverse nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade in children, but the optimal dose under total intravenous anesthesia is uncertain. Aims The primary aim was to compare the time to full neuromuscular recovery (TOF ratio of 1.0) following administration of neostigmine at doses of 0, 10, 20, and 30 μg/kg in ...

ABSTRACT Background Epidural analgesia is commonly used for pain control after major lower‐limb orthopedic surgery in children, but it is associated with a risk of postoperative urinary retention. Consequently, urinary catheters are often placed and left in situ for the full duration of epidural analgesia, despite the potential risks of prolonged ...

ABSTRACT Background Objective neuromuscular monitoring is essential to prevent residual neuromuscular block in patients receiving neuromuscular blocking agents. However, the small size of pediatric hands and the lack of appropriately sized neuromuscular equipment have made quantitative neuromuscular monitoring at the ulnar nerve (UN) difficult. In such

ABSTRACT Background Patients undergoing palatoplasty experience perioperative adverse events. Identifying risk factors for perioperative adverse events and escalation of care may improve outcomes. Methods Pediatric patients undergoing primary palatoplasty were included in this retrospective observational study performed at two academic children's ...

ABSTRACT Wheezing is a common respiratory symptom in infants and toddlers, and recurrent wheezing is a significant respiratory disorder affecting this age group. Given the multifactorial etiology of recurrent wheezing, clinical practice lacks standardized diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. Recent years have witnessed substantial progress in clinical

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.
