The Perioperative Neonatal and Maternal Glycemic Response and APGAR Score During Elective Cesarean Section: Factors and Anesthetic Management.

Background: The type of anesthesia and intensity of pain experienced during surgery are linked to the body's stress response, as reflected in preoperative and postoperative glucose levels.

Objective: This comparative study aims to assess the hyperglycemic stress response to cesarean sections performed under different types of anesthesia.

Methods: This prospective study included 302 participants, divided into two groups: a general anesthesia group and a spinal anesthesia group.

The influence of anesthesia type on perioperative maternal glycemic-stress response during elective cesarean section: A prospective cohort study.

Background: It has been known that the type of anesthesia can affect the stress response to surgery in form of hyperglycemia. This study aims to evaluate and compare the influence of general anesthesia (GA) and spinal anesthesia (SA) on pregnant women who are scheduled to undergo cesarean section (CS) and to understand the impact of obstetrical factors on the maternal hyperglycemic-stress response during CS.

Methods: Prospectively, we identified, assessed and followed those pregnant women who were scheduled to undergo elective CS surgery.

Chronic rhinosinusitis due to cyano-acrylic glue after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.

Background: To reduce the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leak, clinicians utilize a filling material placed in the sella followed by floor reconstruction with various materials, including glue sealing. Cyano-acrylic glue Glubran®2 glue is commercially available and is generally used as embolizing agent and for the prevention of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Case Description: A 25-year-old woman underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma.

Factors that influenced pregnant women with one previous caesarean section regarding their mode of delivery.

Background: During the last decades, the rate of caesarean section is increasing and this can increase the mortality and morbidity. Up to one third of the caesarean sections are attributed to the elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS). This study aims to evaluate attitudes and factors affecting the choice of pregnant women with one previous caesarean section regarding their mode of delivery in their second pregnancy.

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy: A comparison of double-flap and single-flap techniques.

Background: Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a procedure to restore the flow of tears into the nose from the lacrimal sac when the nasolacrimal duct obstructed. This study aimed to compare the success rates of two different techniques in endonasal endoscopic DCR; namely single and double mucosal flap techniques.

Material And Methods: A nonequivalent quasi-experiment design was used in this study.

Successful and Complete Recovery of the Ulnar Nerve After Eight Years of Chronic Injury Through Local Steroid Injections: A Case Report.

Peripheral neuropathy is a common neurodegenerative disease, with vastness of inducers and causalities. The acquired form peripheral neuropathy can be caused by traumatic injuries caused by nerve lacerations or compressions. Such injuries are usually followed by Wallerian degeneration, and inflammatory reaction.
