Introduction: There has been not study determining if remimazolam combined with remifentanil is the reasonable dosing regimen for sedation during awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI). This prospective double-blind randomized controlled trial compare efficacy and safety of sedation using different-dose remimazolam combined with remifentanil for AFOI procedure.
Method: One hundred and fifty patients were randomly assigned to five groups receiving different interventions.
Background: The use of nonintubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NI-VATS) has been increasingly reported to yield favourable outcomes. However, this technology has not been routinely used because its advantages and safety have not been fully confirmed. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of nonintubated spontaneous ventilation (NI-SV) anesthesia compared to intubated mechanical ventilation (I-MV) anesthesia in VATS by evaluating of perioperative complications and practitioners' workloads.

This study aimed to develop a predictive model predicting the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of UCCC patients based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2000 and 2018.

- Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a persistent pain following herpes zoster rash and often doesn't respond well to medication; pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment shows promise for managing this pain.
- This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-voltage, long-duration PRF on patients with subacute herpes zoster neuralgia (1-3 months) compared to those with PHN (over 3 months).
- Results indicated that PRF significantly reduced pain more effectively in the subacute group, achieving a higher success rate, although both groups reported similar satisfaction levels after 6 months; the study's limitations include its small sample size and single-center design.
