Summary: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of incisional infiltration using a local anesthetic injection kit, ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB), and conventional local anesthetic infiltration in patients undergoing transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC). The results showed that incisional infiltration using a local anesthetic injection kit significantly reduced the demand for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in comparison to RSB and conventional local anesthetic infiltration, and also resulted in shorter total procedure times.

Summary: The efficacy of bilateral 4-quadrant laparoscopic-assisted transversus abdominis plane (BLTAP) block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was investigated. The BLTAP block group showed lower one-hour visual analog scale (VAS) scores at rest and during cough compared to the standard analgesia group, the local anesthetic group, and the unilateral laparoscopic-assisted transversus abdominis plane (ULTAP) block group.

Summary: The efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine in reducing opioid requirements and pain following abdominal wall reconstruction was studied. The results showed that liposomal bupivacaine transversus abdominis plane block did not provide apparent clinical benefits compared to simple bupivacaine and placebo.

Summary: This study explored the efficacy of preoperative bilateral erector spinae plane block with the addition of dexmedetomidine in the local anesthetic mixture in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Results showed that erector spinae plane block with dexmedetomidine significantly reduced perioperative opioid consumption, decreased pain intensity, shortened time to first mobilization, and increased patient satisfaction compared to standard analgesia protocols.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of three commonly used analgesic techniques after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The results showed that OSTAP block significantly reduced VAS pain scores, intraoperative fentanyl consumption, and 24-hour postoperative pethidine consumption compared to LAI and IV opioid analgesia groups.

Summary: In this study, TAP block and local wound infiltration were compared for their analgesic effects on patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery with the ERAS program. The results showed no significant difference in pain scores, administration frequency of bolus, use amount of parecoxib, postoperative recovery, or complications between the two groups.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous trocar site and/or intraperitoneal analgesia in reducing pain after gynecologic operative laparoscopy. However, the results showed that there was no significant difference in postoperative pain levels between the groups, indicating that the application of subcutaneous and/or intraperitoneal analgesia is not effective in reducing pain in this context.

Summary: This study analyzed the changes in antioxidant enzymes and oxidative damage in bivalves and gastropods during a bloom of Alexandrium pacificum. The results showed that bivalves exhibited increased toxicity and antioxidant enzyme activity during the bloom, while gastropods showed increased enzyme activity associated with toxin accumulation. However, at the end of the bloom, bivalves showed decreased antioxidant enzyme activity and increased oxidative damage.

Summary: This study aims to understand the individual and spatial variability of toxin-producing microalgae in southern Chile. The detoxification process of Concholepas concholepas foot was examined by pigment removal and freezing. The study found that pigment removal could reduce the toxicity by 90%, which has important implications for small-scale fisheries.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the acute toxicity of OA and DTX-1 on oxidative stress parameters in medaka larvae. The results showed that OA and DTX-1 significantly affected the levels of MDA and carbonyl content. DTX-1 exhibited a greater inhibition of the antioxidant system, leading to increased oxidative damage in medaka larvae.
