Article Abstract
Background: Target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol is a well-established method of procedural sedation and has been used in Japan for anesthesia during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). However, the usefulness of the TCI of propofol for ECT has yet to be determined. This study aimed to compare the TCI and manual infusion (MI) of propofol anesthesia during ECT.
Methods: A total of forty psychiatric inpatients receiving bitemporal ECT were enrolled in the present study and randomized into the TCI group (N = 20) and the MI group (N = 20). Clinical Global Impression (CGI) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores were measured before and after ECT. The clinical outcomes, anesthesia-related variables, and ECT-related variables were compared between the two groups. Generalized estimating equations (GEEs) were used to model the comparison throughout the course of ECT.
Results: A total of 36 subjects completed the present study, with 18 subjects in each group. Both the groups didn't significantly differ in the post-ECT changes in CGI and MoCA scores. However, concerning MoCA scores after 6 treatments of ECT, the MI group had improvement while the TCI group had deterioration. Compared with the MI group, the TCI group had higher doses of propofol, and longer procedural and recovery time. The TCI group seemed to have more robust seizures in the early course of ECT but less robust seizures in the later course of ECT compared with the MI group.
Conclusions: The present study does not support the use of TCI of propofol for anesthesia of ECT.

Background: Pes planus, a foot deformity that causes foot pain and functional limitations, is often treated with custom-made foot orthoses as a conservative approach to managing symptoms. In this study, silicone medial arch orthotics produced by 3D printing technology were evaluated for their ability to reduce pain and improve foot function, compared to conventional Total Contact Insoles (TCI).
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of 3D-printed orthoses made from soft and hard silicone by evaluating primary outcomes (pain and foot function) and secondary outcomes (plantar pressure, heel valgus angle, and satisfaction), in comparison to those of TCI.

: Asparaginase (ASPase) plays an important role in the therapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Serum ASPase activity (SAA) can be modified and even abolished by host immune responses; therefore, current treatment guidelines recommend to monitor SAA during treatment administration. The SAA monitoring schedule needs to be carefully planned to reduce the number of samples without hampering the possibility of measuring pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters in individual patients.

Background: Current guidelines lack nomograms to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in thyroid carcinoma (TC) in China. Nomograms are simple, accurate tools to estimate the probability of specific events and have been extensively developed to predict LNM in TC. However, few effective nomograms have been validated in clinical practice.
