Article Abstract
Purpose: To compare patient's reported pain perception between immediate sequential versus delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS vs. DSBCS).
Setting: King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: Eligible participants scheduled to undergo ISBCS and DSBC were consecutively enrolled. Topical anesthesia was administered for all procedures with no sedation used. Pain scores for each eye were assessed separately at 3 time points: immediately after surgery, day 1, and day 7 postoperation, using a verbal numeric rating scale from 0 to 10. A linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze the differences in pain scores between the two groups and adjusted for covariates, including surgical method, time point, operated eye, education level, surgeon experience, and surgical duration.
Results: A total of 90 bilateral cataract patients (45 ISBCS and 45 DSBCS) were enrolled. Pain scores on Day 0 were low, with medians of 1 [0; 2] for both groups (p = 0.476). The linear mixed-effects model revealed no significant impact of surgical methods on pain scores, with a notable decrease in pain levels over time. Surgical duration significantly impacted pain, with each minute adding approximately 0.027 to the score. Additionally, patients with higher education levels reported higher pain scores.
Conclusions: Pain related to cataract surgery was mild and resolved quickly in both ISBCS and DSBCS groups, with no significant differences between surgical methods or operated eyes. The effect of education level on pain perception suggests the importance of good preoperative counseling to set appropriate expectations.

Alternating ablative fractional laser and microneedling radiofrequency outperforms ablative fractional laser alone for acne scars.

Department of Dermatology, 921 Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force, The Chinese People's Liberation Army, Changsha, China.
Background: Moderate to severe acne scars pose a therapeutic challenge and often require multimodal treatments. Ablative fractional laser (AFL) and fractional microneedling radiofrequency (FMR) are commonly used, but their alternating application has not been fully studied.
Patients And Methods: In this prospective, randomized, single-blind, split-face trial, 20 patients (Fitzpatrick III-IV) received four treatments at 4-week intervals: one facial side underwent alternating FMR (sessions 1, 3) and AFL (sessions 2, 4), while the contralateral side received AFL alone.

Background: Current management of pediatric cutaneous abscesses involves either spontaneous healing by secondary intention or suturing through tertiary intention, which are often lengthy processes that cause discomfort and distress among children. As it is noninvasive and simple, a novel zipper device is widely used for the primary wound closure of surgical incisions.
Objective: To describe the effectiveness of novel zipper device use for pediatric cutaneous abscess wound closure in an outpatient context.

Introduction: High intrarenal pressures (IRP) during mini-PCNL have been postulated to result in increased postoperative pain but no studies have evaluated this to our knowledge. We sought to determine if there is a correlation between IRP and immediate postoperative pain when using different tract sizes.
Methods: Patients were enrolled and assigned for standard (s-PCNL, 24fr), suctioning-mini (sm-PCNL, 16fr) and non-suctioning-mini (nsm-PCNL, 17.

Objectives: Postoperative pain remains a significant concern in endodontics. The main aim of this clinical trial was to assess the impact of various obturation technique and sealer types on post-obturation pain and sealer extrusion in single-visit nonsurgical root canal treatments.
Materials And Methods: Study participants were recruited through consecutive sampling from patients referred to the Endodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Institution University, diagnosed as asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
