Endotracheal tube size to leakage ventilation and tracheal dilatation.
This study analyzed the clinical factors with the aim to determine the relationship between endotracheal tube (ETT) size and leakage ventilation (LV) and tracheal dilatation. ⋯ The initial ETT OD/TD ratio is a predictor for LV and TDn.

Association of body mass index with chronic pain prevalence: a large population-based cross-sectional study in Japan.
The aim of this study was to examine the association between body mass index and chronic pain. ⋯ There was a U-shaped association between BMI and chronic pain prevalence among men ≥ 50 years, and a dose-response association among women. Our finding suggests that underweight should be considered in older men suffering chronic pain.

Randomized Controlled TrialDifferent ventilation techniques and hemodynamic optimization to maintain regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) during laparoscopic bariatric surgery: a prospective randomized interventional study.
The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) in response to different ventilation strategies: inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2), end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in addition to optimizing mean arterial pressure (MAP) in obese patients subjected to laparoscopic bariatric surgery in the reverse trendelenburg position. ⋯ In obese patients, subjected to laparoscopic bariatric surgery in reverse trendelenburg position, adjustment of ventilation strategies and hemodynamic optimization succeeded to improve rScO2.

Observational StudyReliability and validity of the Japanese translation of the DN4 Diagnostic Questionnaire in patients with neuropathic pain.
The Douleur Neuropathique 4 questionnaire (DN4) is a simple and objective tool developed by the French Neuropathic Pain Group to screen for neuropathic pain. ⋯ The Japanese version of the DN4 was found to be a helpful tool for discriminating between neuropathic and non-neuropathic pain.
