Inflammatory response is closely associated with secondary brain injury and pneumonia in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In this study, we aimed to investigate the value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII) in the development of pneumonia in ICH patients 30 days after surgery. ⋯ In the course of ICH, NLR, PLR, and SII increased and then decreased and peaked at 48 hours postoperatively. The SII3 was the best predictor of the occurrence of pneumonia postoperatively in ICH patients.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudySafety evaluation of outpatient vs inpatient unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the safety of outpatient and inpatient Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) based on the incidence of adverse events. ⋯ In summary, outpatient UKA shows lower incidences of hospital-acquired complications such urinary tract infection, pulmonary embolus, and transfusion. It's worth noting that the incidences of total complications, readmission, and venous thrombosis in outpatient UKA were not higher than the incidences of inpatient UKA, suggestting that outpatient UKA can be considered a safe alternative to inpatient UKA.

Persistent neuropathic pain after brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) is common and generally nonresponsive to medical management. Dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) lesioning is the last resort for pain management in patients with BPA. This study aims to investigate and compare the outcomes and complications of DREZ procedures. ⋯ DREZ lesioning is effective for intractable pain alleviation after BPA. Compared with RF-assisted DREZ lesioning, MDT is associated with better VAS score improvements and a lower rate of postoperative motor weakness.
