Clinical comparisons between intertransverse process block (ITPB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) are lacking. ⋯ Although ITPB demonstrated more consistent anterior dermatomal spread and improved immediate postoperative analgesia compared to ESPB, no additional benefits were identified for breast cancer surgery. Future studies may investigate the potential of ITPB for surgical anaesthesia.

Metabolic revitalization: exploring erythrocyte fatty acid profile following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Obesity is linked to metabolic disorders. Bariatric surgery offers a promising therapeutic effect in the treatment of obesity, but its impact on fatty acid (FA) profiles within erythrocytes and the associated clinical implications remain underexplored. ⋯ The study underscores distinct post‑LSG changes in erythrocyte FA profiles, potentially associated with reduced weight and BMI, improved inflammatory status, and lower cardiovascular disease risk.

Stress due to surgical trauma decreases postoperative lymphocyte counts (LCs), potentially favouring the occurrence of postoperative infections (PIs). ⋯ POD1 lymphopaenia was associated with PIs in patients undergoing thoracic or gastrointestinal cancer surgery. To individualise care, patient characteristics and surgery duration should be taken into account.
