Authors Mohan Kumar M et al Cureus 18(10): e118479. doi:10.7759/cureus.118479 Abstract Cerebral fat embolism syndrome (CFES) is a subset of fat embolism syndrome (FES) in which neurological manifestations predominate, making diagnosis using standard clinical criteria challenging. Large-vessel occlusion (LVO) associated with CFES is rare, with poor outcomes reported in the limited available literature. We present […]

When air continues to accumulate through a persistent osteodural defect and produces mass effect with clinical deterioration, it becomes tension pneumocephalus, a neurosurgical emergency. […]
Read MoreAuthor: Patsy Newitt Becker’s ASC Review The U.S. is projected to be short 6,300 anesthesiologists by 2036 and 12,500 CRNAs by 2033, according to a 2025 Medicus Healthcare Solutions white paper, and the strain is not spread evenly. Here are five groups absorbing much of the pressure: 1. Rural hospitals. Rural facilities spread fixed anesthesia costs […]
Read MoreAuthors Daniel Toker et al British Journal of Anaesthesia Background The mechanisms by which anaesthetics alter neurophysiological states remain poorly understood. Although some hypotheses emphasise thalamic suppression, others propose that cortical (Cx) circuits alone, comprising interconnected excitatory and inhibitory neurones expressing gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors, are sufficient for anaesthetic-induced neural dynamics. Methods We […]
