Lifestyle factors and long-term survival in patients with chronic non-cancer pain: a nationwide cohort study in South Korea.
This study aimed to investigate the association of modifiable lifestyle factors with long-term survival outcomes in patients with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) in South Korea. ⋯ Lifestyle factors, including previous/current smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and physical activity, were associated with a higher 5-year all-cause mortality risk among patients with CNCP in South Korea.

Randomized Controlled TrialComparison between pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) for total hip arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.
To assess the efficacy of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block in controlling postoperative pain and promoting recovery of lower extremity after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to compare its effectiveness with supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB). ⋯ PENG with LFCN blocks is more effective than S-FICB in shortening the time to first postoperative walk and preservation hip motion after THA, which makes it a suitable addition to enhanced recovery programs following surgery.

Randomized Controlled TrialHead cooling wrap could suppress the elevation of core temperature after cardiac surgery during forced-air warming in a pediatric intensive care unit: a randomized clinical trial.
The main aim of the current trial was to explore our hypothesis that cooling head wraps lower the core temperature more effectively than ice packs on the head during forced-air warming after pediatric cardiac surgeries. ⋯ Compared to ice packs on the head, head cooling wraps more effectively suppress core temperature elevation during forced-air warming after pediatric cardiac surgery.
