Authors: Mack M and Holmes DR., Lancet 2016 Oct 31; A large randomized trial surprisingly demonstrates superior 5-year outcomes for coronary-artery bypass surgery in patients with left main coronary artery disease. For years, coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been the standard method for revascularization in patients with left main coronary artery disease. In NOBLE, a noninferiority study supported […]
Read MorePatients who use opioids before abdominal wall repair (AWR) have a greater need for opioids while in the hospital, and their stay may be longer than for patients who do not use the drugs before surgery, according to research presented at the Americas Hernia Society 2016 meeting. “We were beginning to see the impact of […]
Read MoreA novel predictive spinal cord stimulation (SCS) algorithm for chronic pain, presented at the 2016 Neural Interfaces Conference in Baltimore, was inspired by biological evolution. Akin to the neck of a giraffe becoming longer in order to reach leaves higher on a tree for eating, the algorithm relies on computational evolution to refine sets of […]
Read MoreStudy suggests factors other than pain may influence continued use. Patients who are prescribed opioids to manage their joint pain after total knee and total hip arthroplasty (TKA and THA) procedures may remain on opioids long term, well after they have ceased to experience improvements in their pain, according to collaborators at the University of […]

Researchers concluded that while patients are generally satisfied with their care, institutions should continually gauge their clients’ feelings in the hopes of improving the patient care experience. “Patient […]
