Are Periventricular Lesions Specific for Multiple Sclerosis?
(J Neurol Neurophysiol, 2013-05-03) Casini, Gianna; Yurashevich, Mary; Vanga, Rohini; Dash, Subasini; Dhib-Jalbut, Suhayl; Gerhardstein, Brian; Inglese, Matilde; Toe, Win; Balashov, Konstantin E
BACKGROUND: The presence of periventricular lesions (PVL) on MRI scans is part of the revised McDonald multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnostic criteria. However, PVL can be found in other neurological diseases including stroke and migraine. Migraine is highly prevalent in patients with MS. OBJECTIVE: To determine if PVL are specific for patients with MS compared to stroke and migraine. METHODS: We studied patients diagnosed with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), migraine, and ischemic stroke. The number, location and the volume of PVL were identified on brain MRI scans and analyzed. RESULTS: The number and volume of PVL adjacent to the body and the posterior horn of the lateral ventricles were significantly increased on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI in RRMS compared to migraine. There were no significant differences in the total number and volume of PVL in ischemic stroke patients compared to the age-matched RRMS patients nor in the number and volume of PVL adjacent to the anterior and temporal horns of the lateral ventricles on FLAIR images in migraine compared to CIS or RRMS. CONCLUSION: In contrast to PVL adjacent to the body and the posterior horn of the lateral ventricles, PVL adjacent to the anterior and temporal horns of the lateral ventricles may not be specific for CIS/RRMS when compared to migraine, the disease highly prevalent among patients with MS. PVL are not specific for MS when compared to ischemic stroke.

Computerized surveillance of opioid-related adverse drug events in perioperative care: a cross-sectional study.
(Patient Saf Surg, 2009-08-11) Eckstrand, Julie A; Habib, Ashraf S; Williamson, Abbie; Horvath, Monica M; Gattis, Katherine G; Cozart, Heidi; Ferranti, Jeffrey
BACKGROUND: Given the complexity of surgical care, perioperative patients are at high risk of opioid-related adverse drug events. Existing methods of detection, such as trigger tools and manual chart review, are time-intensive which makes sustainability challenging. Using strategic rule design, computerized surveillance may be an efficient, pharmacist-driven model for event detection that leverages existing staff resources. METHODS: Computerized adverse drug event surveillance uses a logic-based rules engine to identify potential adverse drug events or evolving unsafe clinical conditions. We extended an inpatient rule (administration of naloxone) to detect opioid-related oversedation and respiratory depression to perioperative care at a large academic medical center. Our primary endpoint was the adverse drug event rate. For all patients with a naloxone alert, manual chart review was performed by a perioperative clinical pharmacist to assess patient harm. In patients with confirmed oversedation, other patient safety event databases were queried to determine if they could detect duplicate, prior, or subsequent opioid-related events. RESULTS: We identified 419 cases of perioperative naloxone administration. Of these, 101 were given postoperatively and 69 were confirmed as adverse drug events after chart review yielding a rate of 1.89 adverse drug events/1000 surgical encounters across both the inpatient and ambulatory settings. Our ability to detect inpatient opioid adverse drug events increased 22.7% by expanding surveillance into perioperative care. Analysis of historical surveillance data as well as a voluntary reporting database revealed that 11 of our perioperative patients had prior or subsequent harmful oversedation. Nine of these cases received intraoperative naloxone, and 2 had received naloxone in the post-anesthesia care unit. Pharmacist effort was approximately 3 hours per week to evaluate naloxone alerts and confirm adverse drug events. CONCLUSION: A small investment of resources into a pharmacist-driven surveillance model gave great gains in organizational adverse drug event detection. The patients who experienced multiple events are particularly relevant to future studies seeking risk factors for opioid induced respiratory depression. Computerized surveillance is an efficient, impactful, and sustainable model for ongoing capture and analysis of these rare, but potentially serious events.

Development and Validation of a Model for Opioid Prescribing Following Gynecological Surgery.
(JAMA network open, 2022-07) Rodriguez, Isabel V; Cisa, Paige McKeithan; Monuszko, Karen; Salinaro, Julia; Habib, Ashraf S; Jelovsek, J Eric; Havrilesky, Laura J; Davidson, Brittany
Importance
Overprescription of opioid medications following surgery is well documented. Current prescribing models have been proposed in narrow patient populations, which limits their generalizability.
Objective
To develop and validate a model for predicting outpatient opioid use following a range of gynecological surgical procedures.
Design, setting, and participants
In this prognostic study, statistical models were explored using data from a training cohort of participants undergoing gynecological surgery for benign and malignant indications enrolled prospectively at a single institution's academic gynecologic oncology practice from February 2018 to March 2019 (cohort 1) and considering 39 candidate predictors of opioid use. Final models were internally validated using a separate testing cohort enrolled from May 2019 to February 2020 (cohort 2). The best final model was updated by combining cohorts, and an online calculator was created. Data analysis was performed from March to May 2020.
Exposures
Participants completed a preoperative survey and weekly postoperative assessments (up to 6 weeks) following gynecological surgery. Pain management was at the discretion of clinical practitioners.
Main outcomes and measures
The response variable used in model development was number of pills used postoperatively, and the primary outcome was model performance using ordinal concordance and Brier score.
Results
Data from 382 female adult participants (mean age, 56 years; range, 18-87 years) undergoing gynecological surgery (minimally invasive procedures, 158 patients [73%] in cohort 1 and 118 patients [71%] in cohort 2; open surgical procedures, 58 patients [27%] in cohort 1 and 48 patients [29%] in cohort 2) were included in model development. One hundred forty-seven patients (38%) used 0 pills after hospital discharge, and the mean (SD) number of pills used was 7 (10) (median [IQR], 3 [0-10] pills). The model used 7 predictors: age, educational attainment, smoking history, anticipated pain medication use, anxiety regarding surgery, operative time, and preoperative pregabalin administration. The ordinal concordance was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.62-0.68) for predicting 5 or more pills (Brier score, 0.22), 0.65 (95% CI, 0.62-0.68) for predicting 10 or more pills (Brier score, 0.18), and 0.65 (95% CI, 0.62-0.68) for predicting 15 or more pills (Brier score, 0.14).
Conclusions and relevance
This model provides individualized estimates of outpatient opioid use following a range of gynecological surgical procedures for benign and malignant indications with all model inputs available at the time of procedure closing. Implementation of this model into the clinical setting is currently ongoing, with plans for additional validation in other surgical populations.

Immunomodulatory lipid mediator profiling of cerebrospinal fluid following surgery in older adults.
(Scientific reports, 2021-02-04) Terrando, Niccolò; Park, John J; Devinney, Michael; Chan, Cliburn; Cooter, Mary; Avasarala, Pallavi; Mathew, Joseph P; Quinones, Quintin J; Maddipati, Krishna Rao; Berger, Miles; MADCO-PC Study Team
Arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) derived lipids play key roles in initiating and resolving inflammation. Neuro-inflammation is thought to play a causal role in perioperative neurocognitive disorders, yet the role of these lipids in the human central nervous system in such disorders is unclear. Here we used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to quantify AA, DHA, and EPA derived lipid levels in non-centrifuged cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), centrifuged CSF pellets, and centrifuged CSF supernatants of older adults obtained before, 24 h and 6 weeks after surgery. GAGE analysis was used to determine AA, DHA and EPA metabolite pathway changes over time. Lipid mediators derived from AA, DHA and EPA were detected in all sample types. Postoperative lipid mediator changes were not significant in non-centrifuged CSF (p > 0.05 for all three pathways). The AA metabolite pathway showed significant changes in centrifuged CSF pellets and supernatants from before to 24 h after surgery (p = 0.0000247, p = 0.0155 respectively), from before to 6 weeks after surgery (p = 0.0000497, p = 0.0155, respectively), and from 24 h to 6 weeks after surgery (p = 0.0000499, p = 0.00363, respectively). These findings indicate that AA, DHA, and EPA derived lipids are detectable in human CSF, and the AA metabolite pathway shows postoperative changes in centrifuged CSF pellets and supernatants.

Incidence, patient satisfaction, and perceptions of post-surgical pain: results from a US national survey.
(Curr Med Res Opin, 2014-01) Gan, Tong J; Habib, Ashraf S; Miller, Timothy E; White, William; Apfelbaum, Jeffrey L
OBJECTIVE: During the past two decades, professional associations, accrediting bodies, and payors have made post-surgical pain treatment a high priority. In light of the disappointing findings in previous surveys, a survey was conducted to assess patient perceptions and characterize patient experiences/levels of satisfaction with post-surgical pain management. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Survey included a random sample of US adults who had undergone surgery within 5 years from the survey date. Participants were asked about their concerns before surgery, severity of perioperative pain, pain treatments, perceptions about post-surgical pain and pain medications, and satisfaction with treatments they received. RESULTS: Of the 300 participants, ∼86% experienced pain after surgery; of these, 75% had moderate/extreme pain during the immediate post-surgical period, with 74% still experiencing these levels of pain after discharge. Post-surgical pain was the most prominent pre-surgical patient concern, and nearly half reported they had high/very high anxiety levels about pain before surgery. Approximately 88% received analgesic medications to manage pain; of these, 80% experienced adverse effects and 39% reported moderate/severe pain even after receiving their first dose. STUDY LIMITATIONS: Key study limitations include the relatively small population size, potential for recall bias associated with the 14-month average time delay from surgery date to survey date, and the inability to account for influences of type of surgery and intraoperative anesthetic/analgesic use on survey results. CONCLUSIONS: Despite heightened awareness and clinical advancements in pain management, there has been little improvement in post-surgical analgesia as measured by this survey of post-surgical patients.

Infection-induced thrombin production: a potential novel mechanism for preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).
(American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2018-07) Feng, Liping; Allen, Terrence K; Marinello, William P; Murtha, Amy P
Preterm premature rupture of membranes is a leading contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity and death. Epidemiologic and experimental studies have demonstrated that thrombin causes fetal membrane weakening and subsequently preterm premature rupture of membranes. Although blood is suspected to be the likely source of thrombin in fetal membranes and amniotic fluid of patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes, this has not been proved. Ureaplasma parvum is emerging as a pathogen involved in prematurity, which includes preterm premature rupture of membranes; however, until now, prothrombin production that has been induced directly by bacteria in fetal membranes has not been described.This study was designed to investigate whether Ureaplasma parvum exposure can induce prothrombin production in fetal membranes cells.Primary fetal membrane cells (amnion epithelial, chorion trophoblast, and decidua stromal) or full-thickness fetal membrane tissue explants from elective, term, uncomplicated cesarean deliveries were harvested. Cells or tissue explants were infected with live Ureaplasma parvum (1×105, 1×106 or 1×107 colony-forming units per milliliter) or lipopolysaccharide (Escherichia coli J5, L-5014; Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO; 100 ng/mL or 1000 ng/mL) for 24 hours. Tissue explants were fixed for immunohistochemistry staining of thrombin/prothrombin. Fetal membrane cells were fixed for confocal immunofluorescent staining of the biomarkers of fetal membrane cell types and thrombin/prothrombin. Protein and messenger RNA were harvested from the cells and tissue explants for Western blot or quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to quantify thrombin/prothrombin protein or messenger RNA production, respectively. Data are presented as mean values ± standard errors of mean. Data were analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance with post hoc Dunnett's test.Prothrombin production and localization were confirmed by Western blot and immunostainings in all primary fetal membrane cells and tissue explants. Immunofluorescence observations revealed a perinuclear localization of prothrombin in amnion epithelial cells. Localization of prothrombin in chorion and decidua cells was perinuclear and cytoplasmic. Prothrombin messenger RNA and protein expression in fetal membranes were increased significantly by Ureaplasma parvum, but not lipopolysaccharide, treatments in a dose-dependent manner. Specifically, Ureaplasma parvum at a dose of 1×107 colony-forming units/mL significantly increased both prothrombin messenger RNA (fold changes in amnion: 4.1±1.9; chorion: 5.7±4.2; decidua: 10.0±5.4; fetal membrane: 9.2±3.0) and protein expression (fold changes in amnion: 138.0±44.0; chorion: 139.6±15.1; decidua: 56.9±29.1; fetal membrane: 133.1±40.0) compared with untreated control subjects. Ureaplasma parvum at a dose of 1×106 colony-forming units/mL significantly up-regulated prothrombin protein expression in chorion cells (fold change: 54.9±5.3) and prothrombin messenger RNA expression in decidua cells (fold change: 4.4±1.9).Our results demonstrate that prothrombin can be produced directly by fetal membrane amnion, chorion, and decidua cells. Further, prothrombin production can be stimulated by Ureaplasma parvum exposure in fetal membranes. These findings represent a potential novel underlying mechanism of Ureaplasma parvum-induced rupture of fetal membranes.

Measuring the impact of a quality improvement collaboration to decrease maternal mortality in a Ghanaian regional hospital.
(Int J Gynaecol Obstet, 2016-08) Srofenyoh, Emmanuel K; Kassebaum, Nicholas J; Goodman, David M; Olufolabi, Adeyemi J; Owen, Medge D
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of a continuous quality improvement collaboration at Ridge Regional Hospital, Accra, Ghana, that aimed to halve maternal and neonatal deaths. METHODS: In a quasi-experimental, pre- and post-intervention analysis, system deficiencies were analyzed and 97 improvement activities were implemented from January 2007 to December 2011. Data were collected on outcomes and implementation rates of improvement activities. Severity-adjustment models were used to calculate counterfactual mortality ratios. Regression analysis was used to determine the association between improvement activities, staffing, and maternal mortality. RESULTS: Maternal mortality decreased by 22.4% between 2007 and 2011, from 496 to 385 per 100000 deliveries, despite a 50% increase in deliveries and five- and three-fold increases in the proportion of pregnancies complicated by obstetric hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, respectively. Case fatality rates for obstetric hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy decreased from 14.8% to 1.6% and 3.1% to 1.1%, respectively. The mean implementation score was 68% for the 97 improvement processes. Overall, 43 maternal deaths were prevented by the intervention; however, risk severity-adjustment models indicated that an even greater number of deaths was averted. Mortality reduction was correlated with 26 continuous quality improvement activities, and with the number of anesthesia nurses and labor midwives. CONCLUSION: The implementation of quality improvement activities was closely correlated with improved maternal mortality.

Obstetric Anesthesia and Heart Disease: Practical Clinical Considerations.
(Anesthesiology, 2021-05-27) Meng, Marie-Louise; Arendt, Katherine W
Maternal morbidity and mortality as a result of cardiac disease is increasing in the United States. Safe management of pregnancy in women with heart disease requires appropriate anesthetic, cardiac, and obstetric care. The anesthesiologist should risk stratify pregnant patients based upon cardiac disease etiology and severity in order to determine the appropriate type of hospital and location within the hospital for delivery and anesthetic management. Increased intrapartum hemodynamic monitoring may be necessary and neuraxial analgesia and anesthesia is typically appropriate. The anesthesiologist should anticipate obstetric and cardiac emergencies such as emergency cesarean delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, and peripartum arrhythmias. This clinical review answers practical questions for the obstetric anesthesiologist and the nonsubspecialist anesthesiologist who regularly practices obstetric anesthesiology.

PENTAZOCINE VERSUS PENTAZOCINE WITH RECTAL DICLOFENAC FOR POSTOPERATIVE PAIN RELIEF AFTER CESAREAN SECTION- A DOUBLE BLIND RANDOMIZED PLACEBO CONTROLLED TRIAL IN A LOW RESOURCE AREA.
(Middle East J Anaesthesiol, 2016-02) Olateju, Simeon O; Adenekan, Anthony T; Olufolabi, Adeyemi J; Owojuyigbe, Afolabi M; Adetoye, Adedapo O; Ajenifuja, Kayode O; Olowookere, Samuel A; Faponle, Aramide F
BACKGROUND: The unimodal approach of using pentazocine as post-cesarean section pain relief is inadequate, hence the need for a safer, easily available and more effective multimodal approach. AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of rectal diclofenac combined with intramuscular pentazocine for postoperative pain following cesarean section. METHODS: In this double blind clinical trial, 130 pregnant women scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received 100mg diclofenac suppository and group B received placebo suppository immediately following surgery, 12 and 24h later. Both groups also received intramuscular pentazocine 30mg immediately following surgery and 6 hourly postoperatively in the first 24 h. Postoperative pain was assessed by visual analogue scale at end of surgery and 2, 12 and 24 h after surgery. Patient satisfaction scores were also assessed. RESULTS: One hundred and sixteen patients completed the study. Combining diclofenac and pentazocine had statistically significant reduction in pain intensity at 2, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively compared to pentazocine alone (p <0.05). No significant side effects were noted in both groups. The combined group also had significantly better patient satisfaction scores. CONCLUSION: The addition of diclofenac suppository to intramuscular pentazocine provides better pain relief after cesarean section and increased patient satisfaction.

Postoperative changes in cognition and cerebrospinal fluid neurodegenerative disease biomarkers.
(Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2022-02) Berger, Miles; Browndyke, Jeffrey N; Cooter Wright, Mary; Nobuhara, Chloe; Reese, Melody; Acker, Leah; Bullock, W Michael; Colin, Brian J; Devinney, Michael J; Moretti, Eugene W; Moul, Judd W; Ohlendorf, Brian; Laskowitz, Daniel T; Waligorska, Teresa; Shaw, Leslie M; Whitson, Heather E; Cohen, Harvey J; Mathew, Joseph P; MADCO-PC Investigators
Objective
Numerous investigators have theorized that postoperative changes in Alzheimer's disease neuropathology may underlie postoperative neurocognitive disorders. Thus, we determined the relationship between postoperative changes in cognition and cerebrospinal (CSF) tau, p-tau-181p, or Aβ levels after non-cardiac, non-neurologic surgery in older adults.
Methods
Participants underwent cognitive testing before and 6 weeks after surgery, and lumbar punctures before, 24 h after, and 6 weeks after surgery. Cognitive scores were combined via factor analysis into an overall cognitive index. In total, 110 patients returned for 6-week postoperative testing and were included in the analysis.
Results
There was no significant change from before to 24 h or 6 weeks following surgery in CSF tau (median [median absolute deviation] change before to 24 h: 0.00 [4.36] pg/mL, p = 0.853; change before to 6 weeks: -1.21 [3.98] pg/mL, p = 0.827). There were also no significant changes in CSF p-tau-181p or Aβ over this period. There was no change in cognitive index (mean [95% CI] 0.040 [-0.018, 0.098], p = 0.175) from before to 6 weeks after surgery, although there were postoperative declines in verbal memory (-0.346 [-0.523, -0.170], p = 0.003) and improvements in executive function (0.394, [0.310, 0.479], p < 0.001). There were no significant correlations between preoperative to 6-week postoperative changes in cognition and CSF tau, p-tau-181p, or Aβ42 changes over this interval (p > 0.05 for each).
Interpretation
Neurocognitive changes after non-cardiac, non-neurologic surgery in the majority of cognitively healthy, community-dwelling older adults are unlikely to be related to postoperative changes in AD neuropathology (as assessed by CSF Aβ, tau or p-tau-181p levels or the p-tau-181p/Aβ or tau/Aβ ratios).

Teaching neuraxial anesthesia techniques for obstetric care in a Ghanaian referral hospital: achievements and obstacles.
(Anesth Analg, 2015-06) Olufolabi, Adeyemi J; Atito-Narh, Evans; Eshun, Millicent; Ross, Vernon H; Muir, Holly A; Owen, Medge D
Anesthesia providers in low-income countries may infrequently provide regional anesthesia techniques for obstetrics due to insufficient training and supplies, limited manpower, and a lack of perceived need. In 2007, Kybele, Inc. began a 5-year collaboration in Ghana to improve obstetric anesthesia services. A program was designed to teach spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery and spinal labor analgesia at Ridge Regional Hospital, Accra, the second largest obstetric unit in Ghana. The use of spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery increased significantly from 6% in 2006 to 89% in 2009. By 2012, >90% of cesarean deliveries were conducted with spinal anesthesia, despite a doubling of the number performed. A trial of spinal labor analgesia was assessed in a small cohort of parturients with minimal complications; however, protocol deviations were observed. Although subsequent efforts to provide spinal analgesia in the labor ward were hampered by anesthesia provider shortages, spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery proved to be practical and sustainable.

The impact of gestational age and fetal weight on the risk of failure of spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
(Int J Obstet Anesth, 2016-05) Adesope, OA; Einhorn, LM; Olufolabi, AJ; Cooter, M; Habib, AS
BACKGROUND: There are limited data about spinal dosing for cesarean delivery in preterm parturients. We investigated the hypothesis that preterm gestation is associated with an increased incidence of inadequate spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery compared with term gestation. METHODS: We searched our perioperative database for women who underwent cesarean delivery under spinal or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine ⩾10.5mg. The primary outcome was the incidence of inadequate surgical anesthesia needing conversion to general anesthesia or repetition or supplementation of the block. We divided patients into four categories: <28, 28 to <32, 32 to <37 and ⩾37weeks of gestation. The chi-square test was used to compare failure rates and a multivariable regression analysis was performed to investigate potential confounders of the relationship between gestational age and failure. RESULTS: A total of 5015 patients (3387 term and 1628 preterm) were included. There were 278 failures (5.5%). The incidence of failure was higher in preterm versus term patients (6.4% vs. 5.1%, P=0.02). Failure rates were 10.8%, 7.7%, 5.3% and 5% for <28, 28 to <32, 32 to <37 and ⩾37weeks of gestation, respectively. In the multivariable model, low birth weight (P<0.0001), gestational age (P=0.03), ethnicity (P=0.02) and use of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (P<0.0001) were significantly associated with failure. CONCLUSIONS: At standard spinal doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine used in our practice (⩾10.5mg), there were higher odds of inadequate surgical anesthesia in preterm parturients. When adjusting for potential confounders, low birth weight was the main factor associated with failure.
