Genetic and functional analysis of the RYR1 mutation p.Thr84Met revealed a susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia.
The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic and functional role of a novel RYR1 variant c.251 C > T (p.Thr84Met) identified in a patient with muscle weakness demonstrating MH susceptibility. ⋯ Our results of functional testing indicated RYR1 hypersensitivity to caffeine and 4CmC. We conclude that the genetic variant was associated with MH susceptibility.

Case ReportsNeurological prognosis of 6 cases after chest compression during general anesthesia.
Data on the outcomes after chest compression (CC) of patients who are under general anesthesia (GA) are limited. The present study aimed to evaluate the neurological outcomes in patients who received CC while under GA. ⋯ Even if the patients were monitored and immediately managed under GA, ineffective management of preoperative conditions tended to result in the poor neurological prognosis.

Observational StudyPredictors of severe postoperative hyperglycemia after cardiac surgery in infants: a single-center, retrospective, observational study.
Hyperglycemia is a common issue in infants after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease. Poor glycemic control is suspected to be associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. This study was performed to investigate clinical factors contributing to hyperglycemia in the perioperative period in infats. ⋯ Adding to hyperglycemia during the operation, longer CPB time younger age and chromosomal abnormality were identified as predictors of high blood glucose levels at ICU admission.

Randomized Controlled TrialUltrasound-guided bilateral rectus sheath block reduces early postoperative pain after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery: a randomized study.
Rectus sheath block (RSB) is an anterior abdominal wall block that reduces postoperative pain associated with midline incisions. This study aims to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral RSB (US-BRSB) on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. ⋯ NCT02476799, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02476799 .
