To assess whether the risk of persistent opioid use after surgery varies by payer type. ⋯ Persistent opioid use remains common among individuals undergoing surgery and higher among patients with Medicaid insurance. Strategies to optimize postoperative recovery should focus on adequate pain management for all patients and consider tailored pathways for those at risk.

Observational StudyThe Perioperative Frontal Relative Ratio of the Alpha Power of Electroencephalography for Predicting Postoperative Delirium After Highly Invasive Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study.
We investigated the associations between postoperative delirium (POD) and both the relative ratio of the alpha (α)-power of electroencephalography (EEG) and inflammatory markers in a prospective, single-center observational study. ⋯ Intraoperative frontal relative ratios of the α-power of EEG were associated with POD in patients who underwent radical cancer surgery. Intraoperative EEG monitoring could be a simple and more useful tool for predicting the development of postoperative delirium than measuring perioperative acute inflammatory markers. A lower relative ratio of α-power might be an effective marker for vulnerability of brain and ultimately for the development of POD.

Comparison of the Effects of Body Mechanics Education Methods on Pain, Disability, and Quality of Life: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Educating patients undergoing surgery for LDH is important to maintain the proper performance of body mechanics. ⋯ Preoperative education on body mechanics increases the physical functioning of patients with LDH and facilitates the integration of information into their daily activities.

The implementation and effect evaluation of AIDET standard communication health education mode under the King theory of goal attainment: A randomized control study.
This research addresses inadequate understanding of interventional prenatal diagnosis, preoperative anxiety psychological problems in pregnant women undergoing interventional prenatal diagnosis, proposing a health education mode combined AIDET standard communication and King's theory of goal attainment approach to potentially improve health education outcomes, anxiety psychological problems, and patient satisfaction. ⋯ Using the AIDET standard communication health education model under the King theory of goal attainment in nurse-patient communication is conducive to the rapid establishment of a harmonious and trusting nurse-patient relationship between pregnant women and nurses, helping pregnant women and nurses jointly promote the establishment and implementation of health education goals, helping to improve pregnant women's acceptance of information related to interventional prenatal diagnosis, health education and the procedure of walking on the day of surgery. It helps enhance the effectiveness of health education and satisfaction, reducing pregnant women's uncertainty about the disease, their unfamiliarity with the surgery environment and surgery procedure, and their preoperative anxiety.

Laparoscopic radical surgery for locally advanced T4 transverse colon cancer and prognostic factors analysis: Evidence from multi-center databases.
The safety and efficacies of laparoscopic radical procedures are still controversial for locally advanced pathological T4 (pT4) TCC (transverse colon cancer). Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the oncologic and perioperative outcomes and to recognize the prognostic factors in radical resection for pT4 TCC derived from multi-center databases. 314 patients with TCC who underwent radical resection between January 2004 and May 2017, including 139 laparoscopic resections and 175 open resections, were extracted from multicenter databases. Oncological as well as perioperative outcomes were investigated. ⋯ These findings underscore the significance of differentiation and N classification as key determinants of patient outcomes in this context. Overall, the laparoscopic approach may offer advantages in terms of shorter hospital stays, while maintaining comparable oncological outcomes. Laparoscopic radical procedure can gain a couple of short-term benefits without reducing long-term oncological survival for patients with pT4 TCC.
