DOI: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000007397 This narrative review examined the anesthetic management of parturients with achondroplasia—who represent roughly 70% of all forms of dwarfism—during labor and cesarean delivery. Given the high rate of cesarean births due to cephalopelvic disproportion and the known airway and spinal anatomical […]

DOI: 10.1101/2025.10.06.25337433 This preprint reports findings from a proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in older adults undergoing non-cardiac, non-neurologic surgery, focusing on how surgery alters the CSF proteome and whether the APOE-mimetic peptide CN-105 modifies these changes. The study analyzed paired pre- and 24-hour […]

Anesthesia & Analgesia 141(4):818–827, October 2025.DOI: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000007560 This randomized clinical trial evaluated whether combining dexmedetomidine with lidocaine spray could better suppress the cough reflex during extubation in female thyroidectomy patients. A total of 180 patients were divided into three groups: dexmedetomidine + lidocaine (Dex-Lido), lidocaine alone (Lido), and normal saline […]
