TL;DR: Propofol anesthesia for colon cancer surgery is associated with better survival irrespective of tumor–node–metastasis stage, and simple propensity score adjustment produced similar findings.

TL;DR: Spraying benzydamine hydrochloride on the ETT cuff is a simple and effective method to reduce the incidence and severity of POST.

TL;DR: Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block reduces general anesthetics required during thyroidectomy and also significantly lowers the severity of postoperative pain during the first 24 h and shortens the hospital stay.

TL;DR: This case reminds us that subdural hematoma formation can complicate durotomy during spine surgery and Neurological deterioration in the postoperative period should prompt clinicians to rule out the diagnosis and intervene rapidly as appropriate.

TL;DR: Patients in the PTX group exhibited longer PCA trigger times, less morphine consumption, and a faster return of bowel function compared with patients in the control group, and the plasma levels of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1 receptor antagonist were less in the treatment group; there was no significant difference in wound infections, tumor recurrence, or metastatic rates during a 2-yr follow-up.
