Article Abstract
Introduction: This randomized clinical trial aimed to compare postoperative pain after the use of 2different irrigation activation techniques: passive ultrasonic irrigation and the EasyClean device.
Methods: Sixty-six single-rooted teeth diagnosed with asymptomatic pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis were randomly assigned to 2experimental groups (n = 33), which differed in the irrigation activation technique. Postoperative pain levels were assessed after 24, 48, and 72 hours using a verbal rating scale; the ibuprofen intake amount was recorded at the same time intervals. Data were analyzed using Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U and Fisher's exact tests, with a significance level of 5%.
Results: Postoperative pain levels and analgesic intake frequency were not significantly different across the 2irrigation activation techniques (P > .05). The frequencies obtained in relation to the prevalence of postoperative pain were 3.1-25.8% for all participants of the 2studied groups.
Conclusion: The irrigation activation techniques of passive ultrasonic irrigation and the EasyClean device were found to be equivalent in terms of postoperative pain and analgesic intake.

Unlabelled: Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency, particularly Stanford type A, which typically necessitates urgent surgical intervention. Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, preoperative bleeding and coagulopathy remain significant challenges. Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, is widely used to minimize perioperative bleeding in cardiovascular surgeries; however, its role in the non-surgical, preoperative stabilization of aortic dissection has not been well established.

Purpose: Postoperative hyperalgesia (POH) is a common clinical phenomenon that will increase the experience of patients' pain. Previous studies have confirmed that surgical site, opioid analgesics, gender, and age were risk factors of POH. Limited research has been investigated to prove the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and POH.

Injuries to the proximal hamstring muscle complex are common in athletes and range from strains to tendinous and bony avulsions. The lesion mechanism typically involves an eccentric contraction of the hamstring muscles during abrupt hip hyperflexion with the knee in extension. Low-speed injuries occur in high kicks and splits, whereas tendon avulsions are common in high-speed activities, such as running and ballet.
