Abstract:
Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) is a potentially disabling complication associated with advanced cancer. To address whether decompressive surgery followed by radiation therapy is superior to radiation therapy alone, this multi-institutional randomized trial compared outcomes among 101 patients with MESCCC. The study assessed functional outcomes such as ability to ambulate posttreatment, length of ambulation and maintained continence posttreatment, survival time after intervention, and additional functional, quality of life, and medication use outcomes. The practice-changing results of this study indicate that patients who received decompressive surgery and radiation had a longer length of posttreatment ambulation (122 days vs. 13 days, P = 0.03), better overall survival (126 days vs. 100 days, Relative risk 0.60, P = 0.033), lower doses of palliative medications, as well as better performance on several other secondary outcomes. From this landmark study, in appropriately selected patients with MESCC, surgery followed by radiation has become the standard of care.

Full text
Abstract:
Postoperative pain management is an important aspect of caring for a surgical patient as inadequate pain control can be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Failure to effectively control postoperative pain is often due to poor communication and poorly coordinated care between the care teams, poor communication with the patient, insufficient education, unrealistic expectations, fear of complications from the pain regimen, inaccurate pain assessment, and limited effective pain treatment modalities. An effective pain management can therefore lead to improved patient comfort, satisfaction, earlier ambulation, faster recovery time, decreased hospital stay and cost of care, and reduced postoperative complications.

Abstract:
Circumcision is a commonly performed operation. Regional analgesia is provided either by penile block or caudal block. Each approach to anesthetizing the penis has attendant risk and benefits. The provider has several decision points to observe when choosing which, if either, technique to apply. The basic anatomic factors (including the identification and significance of sacral dimples), technical steps, risks, and considerations of each are discussed. Overall, each block offers benefit to the patient, and choosing between them can be based on need for ambulation postoperatively, operator experience, and availability of appropriate equipment. When available, ultrasound can enhance the efficacy of penile nerve blocks.

Abstract:
Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a medical emergency that requires early diagnosis and treatment. Medical management or surgery can be indicated depending on different factors including duration of the symptoms, patient comorbidities, and hospital resources. Patients scheduled for decompressive laminectomy due to MSCC may present to the operating room with pain, high requirements of opioids, hematological disorders, impending bone fractures, nausea and vomiting, and electrolytes disorders. Multimodal intraoperative monitoring is needed to minimize spinal cord injury. The immediate postoperative care of these patients is directed to accelerate recovery by providing multimodal analgesia, encouraging early ambulation, and optimizing their nutritional status.

Abstract:
Transradial access (TRA) competency can be rapidly achieved by the experienced interventionist. Statistically significant reductions in bleeding and other access site complications have been shown in randomized and meta-analysis studies when comparing TRA to both brachial and femoral artery access. Despite accumulating data, vascular interventional radiologists have been hesitant to adopt TRA for a variety of reasons. However, TRA offers distal dual blood supply, easily achievable hemostasis, and no adjacent critical structures. Other advantages of TRA are safer endovascular approach concomitant with earlier ambulation, improved patient comfort, decreased length of stay, as well as potential for cost savings. This chapter discusses the TRA technique, applications, challenges, and potential complications.

Abstract:
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most common muscular dystrophy, following Duchenne muscular dystrophy and myotonic dystrophy. The clinical secerity is extremely variable, with symptom onset anywhere from infancy to middle adulthood. The cardinal clinical features of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy include facial weakness and scapular winging. Other important examination findings including scalloping of the trapezius, “Popeye” forearms, horizontal axillary folds, and a positive Beevor’s sign. It can rarely present as a pattern of weakness mimicking limb-girdle muscular dystrophy with approximately 20% of patients eventually requiring a wheelchair for ambulation. Creatine kinase is normal or mildly elevated. Genetic testing for the D4Z4 repeat contraction on chromosome 4q35 detects 95% of cases but may not reflect severity of the disease.

Abstract:
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of early death after bariatric surgery, even in the laparoscopic era, accounting for up to a third of early deaths. While risk factors associated with the development of postoperative VTE in nonbariatric surgery are relevant in bariatric patients, it is now clear that both obesity and obesity-related diseases, such as obesity hypoventilation syndrome, pose an additional risk. Attempts have been made to standardize VTE prophylaxis for patients undergoing bariatric surgery, and early ambulation, mechanical compression devices, chemoprophylaxis, and inferior vena cava filters have all been studied extensively. However, the relative lack of high-quality evidence from randomized trials means that a consensus about what constitutes an ideal VTE prophylaxis regime has not yet been achieved.

Full text
Abstract:
Lumbar neurogenic claudication, sometimes referred to as pseudoclaudication, is the clinical syndrome of back pain radiating down one or both legs during ambulation. Classically, the symptoms abate with forward flexion of the lumbar spine and worsen with extension. The condition arises from lumbar spinal stenosis, which is common in the elderly population. Many asymptomatic individuals have lumbar spinal stenosis seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), so this syndrome is a clinical diagnosis. The majority of patients have favorable responses with conservative treatment, which includes physical therapy, bracing, medications, and epidural steroid injections. Patients who do not improve may go on to have surgery. Spinal stenosis has become one of the most common reasons to undergo lumbar spinal surgery in patients older than 65 years of age.

Abstract:
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common, inherited, pediatric motor neuron disorder caused by insufficient SMN protein. As of yet, there is no good treatment for the disease. SMA has an incidence of ~1 in 10,000 newborns carrier frequency of 1 in 50, making it the most common inherited cause of infant mortality. Patients with severe SMA, or Werdnig-Hoffman disease, typically manifest weakness during the first 6 months of life. Such patients are so debilitated that they never sit independently, frequently succumbing to the disease before age 2 years. A much milder form of SMA, Kugelberg-Welander disease, with onset after 18 months of age, often during childhood and characterized by prolonged ambulation and a normal life expectancy, was described in 1956. In 1995 mutations in a novel gene, Survival of Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1), were determined to be the specific cause of SMA.

Abstract:
Day-stay surgery is becoming increasingly common the world over. There are several benefits of avoiding in-hospital care. Early ambulation reduces the risk for thromboembolic events, facilitates wound healing, and avoiding admission reduces the risk for hospital-related infection. Additionally, the risk of neurocognitive side-effects can be avoided by returning the elderly patient to their home environment. Day-stay anaesthesia calls for adequate and structured preoperative assessment and patient evaluation, and the potential risk associated with surgery and anaesthesia should be assessed on an individual basis. Need for preoperative testing should be based on functional status of the patient and preoperative medical history but even the surgical procedure should be taken into account. Preoperative fasting should be in accordance with modern guidelines, refraining from food for 6 hours and fluids for 2 hours prior to induction in low-risk patients. Preventive analgesia and prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) should be administered preoperatively. Local anaesthesia should be administered prior to incision, constituting part of multimodal analgesia. The multimodal analgesia strategy should also include paracetamol and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in order to reduce the noxious stimulus from the surgical field. Third-generation inhaled anaesthetics or a propofol-based maintenance are both feasible alternatives. Titrating depth of anaesthesia by using an EEG-based depth of anaesthesia monitor may facilitate the recovery process. The laryngeal mask airway has become commonly used and has several advantages. Ultrasound-guided peripheral blocks may facilitate the early postoperative course by reducing pain and avoiding the use of opiates. Perineural catheters may be an option for prolongation of the block following painful orthopaedic procedures but a strict protocol and follow-up must be secured. Not only pain but even nausea and vomiting should be prevented, and therefore risk stratification, for example by the Apfel score, and PONV prophylaxis in accordance with the risk score is strongly recommended. Early ambulation should be encouraged postoperatively. Safe discharge should include an escort who also remains at home during the first postoperative night. Analgesics should be provided and be readily available for self-care when the patient comes home. Pain medication should include an opioid; however, the benefit versus risk must be assessed on an individual basis. Patients should also be instructed about a rescue return-to-hospital plan. Quality of care should include follow-up and analysis of clinical practice, and institution of methods to improve quality should be enforced for the benefit of the ambulatory surgical patient.

Abstract:
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation—An Interdisciplinary Problem-Based Learning Approach provides an overview of the latest techniques, management strategies, and technology surrounding the clinical use of ECMO. This interdisciplinary book reviews the most common scenarios of ECMO in 62 chapters exploring the conditions and problems arising in ECMO practice. Each chapter begins with a stem case, followed by open questions to encourage critical thinking and enable the reader to follow the management strategies of the authors, who are world leaders in the field. Followed by an evidence-based discussion, each chapter concludes with multiple-choice questions for self-assessment. This book is current in its knowledge of organ systems and management and keeps pace with new ECMO technology and surgical techniques coupled with current guidelines for management. Starting with the history of ECMO to technical aspects, circuit biocompatibility and interaction with blood, drugs, and flow physics, the volume then continues into pediatric and adult sections, focusing on both respiratory and cardiovascular support, followed by a section on trauma. The volume then concludes with a section on neurologic complications and ethics, as well as rehabilitation and ambulation of ECMO patients. In addition, to reflect the current global health situation, this book includes a chapter on ECMO management in patients suffering with COVID-19 to cover the most urgent and pressing questions around ECMO during the ongoing pandemic. This is the first ECMO book on the market to utilize a problem-based learning approach and as such is an important unprecedented project on ECMO education.

Abstract:
A hallucinating, insomniac, and increasingly fragile flaneur wanders the streets of Paris over the long Easter weekend of 1960. Paris, Easter weekend 1960. The French composer Jacques Besse sets out on a marathon stroll through the city that begins on Good Friday, when he leaves his brother's house on rue de Turbigo, and ends on Easter Monday, when, having declared himself Mars, the god of war, to mystified restaurant-goers, he ambles back toward Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The Great Easter—a memoir in the form of a novella, or perhaps a novella in the form of a memoir—is the first-person account of a hallucinating, insomniac, and increasingly fragile flaneur's unending ambulation. The Great Easter was first published in French in 1969 and became famous a few years later when in their milestone work Anti-Oedipus Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari referred to Besse's walk as the quintessential “double stroll of the schizo.” (Besse was a patient at Guattari's psychiatric clinic La Borde.) Besse's stroll purées past and present, real and not-real: a rendezvous with a prostitute intersects with Sergei Eisenstein and his entourage, a bellowed song about the sea is overwhelmed by “memories” of the 1830 July Revolution, and the entire universe gathers itself up into a bubble above Gare d'Austerlitz. He is seized by anxiety, released by joy; he announces his cosmic celebrity via a huge (imaginary) television while freezing in the night and calling out for bread. A cult favorite in France, The Great Easter is an engrossing, surreal road movie of a book
