Author: Doheny K. Pract Pain Manag. 2023 March/April;23(2). How to accurately diagnose and treat this painful condition. Plus, why primary care and pain specialists need to collaborate when patients present with glossopharyngeal neuralgia symptoms. The incidence rate of glossopharyngeal neuralgia is less than 1 per 100,000. Still, the rare pain disorder can be debilitating and […]
Read MoreAuthors: Amr E. Abouleish, MD, MBA, FASA et al ASA Monitor April 2023, Vol. 87, 37–39. The economic fundamentals of anesthesiology practice are under greater stress than at any time in recent history. Although our ASA Conversion Factor Survey shows commercial conversion factors increasing over recent years, the positive effect on revenues may be ending. We […]
Read MoreAuthor: Malini Ghoshal, RPH, MS Practical Pain Management March 2023 The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) proposed changes in late February 2023 to the pandemic-era tele-prescribing regulations, extending some regulations and curtailing others.

Read MoreAuthors: Paulo Henrique Xavier, M.D. et al Anesthesiology April 2023, Vol. 138, 420–435. Background Gradually changing respiratory rate (RR) during time to reduce ventilation-induced lung injury has not been investigated. The authors hypothesized that gradual, compared with abrupt, increments in RR would mitigate ventilation-induced lung injury and that recruitment maneuver before abruptly increasing RR may prevent […]
