Article Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a significant negative effect on the quality of life due to permanent neurologic damage and economic burden by continuous treatment and rehabilitation. However, determining the correct approach to ensure optimal clinical outcomes can be challenging and remains highly controversial. In particular, with the introduction of the concept of early decompression in brain pathology, the discussion of the timing of decompression in SCI has emerged. In addition to that, the concept of "time is spine" has been added recently, and the mortality and complications caused by SCI have been reduced by providing timely and professional treatment to patients. However, there are many difficulties in establishing international clinical guidelines for the timing of early decompression in SCI because policies for each country and medical institution differ according to the circumstances of medical infrastructure and economic conditions in the surgical treatment of SCI. Therefore, we aim to provide a current review of timing of early decompression in patient with SCI.

Introduction And Importance: Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is a rare spinal cord hemisection syndrome characterized by ipsilateral weakness with contralateral loss of pain and temperature. Cervical intradural disc herniation (CIDH), an extremely rare phenomenon, is an uncommon etiology of BSS. Only around 50 cases of CIDH have been reported in the literature to date, including our own.

From the Department of Plastic Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN.
Background: Compressive neuropathy in the upper extremity is a common and often debilitating condition that significantly impacts function and quality of life. Despite its prevalence, the diagnosis, and management of compressive neuropathies remain complex with promising innovations. Plastic surgeons play a critical role in both surgical and nonsurgical interventions for these conditions.

Background: Early postoperative small bowel obstruction (ESBO) following roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a feared complication, generally estimated to occur in 1-2% of cases. Most surgeons advocate for prompt surgical exploration for ESBO after RYGB. There is currently a paucity of literature regarding conservative management approaches to ESBO after RYGB.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features, imaging manifestations, pathological types, and surgical strategies of mediastinal masses in children with this condition, aiming to enhance early diagnosis and perioperative management.
Methods: Clinical data of children diagnosed with mediastinal masses and treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University between January 2019 and August 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Key variables analyzed included demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, imaging findings, surgical procedures, intraoperative management, pathological results, and follow-up outcomes.
IMpact of PerioperAtive KeTamine on Enhanced Recovery After abdominal Surgery (IMPAKT ERAS): a pragmatic randomised single-cluster trial.

Department of Anesthesiology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Background: Despite widespread adoption of ketamine into enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, research regarding its specific impact on perioperative outcomes is limited. This pragmatic, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-cluster trial evaluated the impact of ketamine on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery within an established ERAS protocol.
Methods: Male and female patients, aged ≥18 yr, were randomised to ketamine or saline placebo bolus at induction of general anaesthesia, followed by an intraoperative and postoperative infusion for 48 h.
