This retrospective pilot study demonstrates that surgically placed continuous erector spinae plane catheters are a feasible adjunct for multimodal analgesia in chronic pain patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion, resulting in stable pain scores and early mobilization, though the lack of a control group precludes definitive conclusions regarding their opioid-sparing efficacy.
This cross-sectional study of 145 adolescents at a private Islamic school in southern Thailand found that self-reported stress is positively associated with emotional eating, which in turn is significantly linked to a higher likelihood of overnutrition, although the findings are limited by the study's single-site, cross-sectional design.
This multi-institutional study of medical students in the post–pass/fail Step 1 era reveals that neither exam sequencing nor specific study resources significantly impact Step 2 CK performance, whereas the score on the final practice test is the sole independent predictor of success.
This cross-sectional study characterizes the psychological profiles of doctors entering specialist anaesthesiology training in Ireland, revealing diverse learning preferences, high levels of self-efficacy and perceived control, and a predominant reliance on active and problem-focused coping strategies, thereby establishing a baseline for future research on trainee resilience and retention.
This cross-sectional study in Anand district, India, reveals that preterm infants aged 0–12 months exhibit significantly poorer physical growth and developmental outcomes compared to term infants, with gestational age, neonatal complications, and immunization status identified as key predictors of developmental scores.
