Postoperative pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is frequently categorized as moderate to severe. This can have an impact on the recovery process after surgery, leading to a delay in the ability to move and an extended stay in the hospital. A very efficient approach for pain relief is required. Historically, the management of this has been accomplished by the utilization of epidural analgesia, peripheral nerve blocks, and the administration of opioids through injection or directly into the spinal cord. Combining multimodal analgesia with nerve block methods is frequently employed to alleviate pain throughout the surgical phase of hip fractures. This approach has been demonstrated to effectively prevent complications and enhance postoperative function by ensuring proper pain control. Objective: This review aimed to assess spinal anesthesia in management of postoperative pain. Methods: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for information on Postoperative pain management, Hip surgeries and Spinal anesthesia. Although only the most current or comprehensive study from October 2009 to November 2023 was included, the writers additionally assessed references from pertinent literature. Papers written in languages other than English have been disqualified due to lack of translation sources. Conclusion: Peripheral nerve blocks offer efficient pain relief, but to adequately manage pain, it may be required to block the femoral nerve (FN), obturator nerve (ON), and lateral cutaneous nerves (LCN). However, this procedure can be challenging, time-consuming, and may lead to lingering motor impairment. Spinal and parenteral opioids have a connection with modest but unpleasant adverse effects.","PeriodicalId":22467,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141848062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In rare cases, they can progress to lung metastasis and death. The management modalities of GCTs include medical treatment, curettage, cryotherapy, and resection and reconstruction, including arthroplasty. Objective: The current case report aimed to discuss alternative treatment options to the reported case of GCT. Case report: The reported case showed a healthy 25-years-old man with left hip joint pain progressing over six months. The pain was resistant to lifestyle modifications and medications. Investigations resulted in the diagnosis of a GCT in the left femur head. The management included a preoperative course of denosumab, surgical dislocation of the left hip, lesion curettage, irrigation, and bone graft and cementation. Our plan was a good alternative because it is a low-cost surgery that resulted in regaining the same previous level of activities without limitations. The plan showed excellent outcomes, but more cases and long-term follow-up are needed in further studies. The aim of the case report was to discuss alternative treatment options for the reported case of GCT. Conclusion: A criterion standard treatment option for GCT in the femur is lacking. In the current case, a GCT of the femoral head was treated with an initial course of denosumab for six months, followed by curettage, bone grafting and cementing packing. The outcome showed that this alternative modality yielded functionally and radiologically acceptable results. In addition, the treatment plan was simple and cost-effective.","PeriodicalId":22467,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine","volume":"43 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141690203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of CVD is influenced by a combination of dietary, lifestyle, and genetic factors. Objective: The review aimed to clarify the benefits and potential risks associated with micronutrient supplementation, including vitamins and minerals, in the context of CVD prevention and management and modulating risk factors associated with CVD. Methods: We searched Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed and other online databases for vitamins and minerals supplementation and their impact on cardiovascular health. The authors also reviewed references from pertinent literature, however only the most recent or comprehensive studies from 2010 to February 2023 were included. Documents in languages other than English were disqualified due to lack of translation-related sources. Papers such as unpublished manuscripts, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations that were not part of larger scientific studies were excluded. Conclusion: Micronutrients play significant roles in cardiovascular health through mechanisms involving inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial function. While certain micronutrients, such as calcium, zinc, vitamin D, and selenium, show promise in supporting cardiovascular health, excessive levels may pose risks. Supplementation with folic acid and B vitamins has been associated with reduced stroke risk, whereas niacin and antioxidants may increase all-cause mortality risk. The evidence does not support the routine use of vitamin supplements for reducing cardiovascular risk, highlighting the need for balanced micronutrient intake through diet rather than supplementation.","PeriodicalId":22467,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine","volume":"86 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141847645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
