AUTHORS: Löffel, Lukas M. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: September 2020 BACKGROUND: The intraoperative effect of 20% albumin on plasma volume during surgery involving major blood loss has not been explored extensively due to methodological difficulties. Crystalloids poorly expand the plasma volume, and using a colloid might then be a way to avoid fluid […]
Read MoreAuthor: KARL LEIF BATES Duke Today A Duke-led team of scientists has developed a bio-compatible surgical patch that releases non-opioid painkillers directly to the site of a wound for days and then dissolves away. The polymer patch provides a controlled release of a drug that blocks the enzyme COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2,) which drives pain and inflammation. […]
Read MoreN Engl J Med 2020; 383:2477-2478 TO THE EDITOR: Oxygen is among the most frequently administered medical therapies, with a level that is commonly adjusted according to the reading on a pulse oximeter that measures patients’ oxygen saturation. Questions about pulse oximeter technology have been raised, given its original development in populations that were not […]

Read MoreAuthor: Alan Mozes HealthDay JAMA Neurology Chronic lower back pain can make the most routine tasks difficult. But a new study suggests patients can learn new, practical and less painful ways to move through individualized “motor skills training,” or MST. A two-year study of nearly 150 patients found that MST appears to better relieve disability from lower […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Walter Cardiovascular Business News Researchers have developed a new strategy for treating especially challenging blood clots, sharing their findings in Microsystems & Nanoengineering. The technique, still under evaluation before clinical testing can begin, involves using nanodroplets and a tiny “ultrasound drill” to break down retracted blood clots from the inside out. When liquid perfluorocarbons […]
