Review/overview of pain in sickle cell disease

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a highly complex inherited disorder of hemoglobin structure. Although the molecular lesion is a single-point mutation, the sickle gene is pleiotropic in nature causing multiple phenotypic expressions that constitute the various complications of the disease. Its manifestations could be acute, chronic, nociceptive, neuropathic that could occur singly or in various combinations. Pain continues to be the major factor of SCD phenotypic complications and the most common cause of admissions to the Emergency Department and/or the hospital. Although progress has been made in understanding the pathophysiology of SCD as well as in developing curative therapies such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy, effective pain management continues to lag behind. Palliative therapies continue to be the major approach to the management of SCD and its complications. The advent of hydroxyurea made partial success in preventing the frequency of vaso-occlusive crises and l-glutamine awaits post-trial confirmation of benefits. The search for additional pharmacotherapeutic agents that could be used singly or in combination with hydroxyurea and/or l-glutamine awaits their dawn hopefully in the near future. The purpose of this review is to describe the various manifestations of SCD, their pathophysiology and their current management. Recent impressive advances in understanding the pathophysiology of pain promise the determination of agents that could replace or minimize the use of opioids.     

Elevación del lactato en el postoperatorio como marcador de isquemia mesentérica aguda. Descripción de dos casos

Serum lactate is a non-specific marker of tissue hypoperfusion. Elevated serum lactate is used in the differential diagnosis of acute intestinal ischemia. Although this practice is controversial, in the absence of other validated markers lactate is still used because of its high sensitivity.We present the cases of two patients who developed acute mesenteric ischemia as a post-surgical complication. The patients reported moderate abdominal pain —a non-specific symptom in the postoperative context— and tests showed progressively increasing serum lactate levels, which facilitated suspicion and subsequent diagnostic confirmation through an imaging test.These cases highlight the physiopathological importance of lactate elevation in the perioperative context and of performing a differential diagnosis of its possible causes, including mesenteric ischemia. Although the outcome was negative in the first case, early suspicion allowed us to make an effective diagnosis and administer appropriate treatment in the second patient.     

Chemogenetic Silencing of the Locus Coeruleus–Basolateral Amygdala Pathway Abolishes Pain-Induced Anxiety and Enhanced Aversive Learning in Rats

BackgroundPain affects both sensory and emotional aversive responses, often provoking anxiety-related diseases when chronic. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the interactions between anxiety and chronic pain remain unclear.MethodsWe characterized the sensory, emotional, and cognitive consequences of neuropathic pain (chronic constriction injury) in a rat model. Moreover, we determined the role of the locus coeruleus (LC) neurons that project to the basolateral amygdala (BLA) using a DREADD (designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drugs).ResultsChronic constriction injury led to sensorial hypersensitivity in both the short term and long term. Otherwise, long-term pain led to an anxiety-like profile (in the elevated zero maze and open field tests), as well as increased responses to learn aversive situations (in the passive avoidance and fear conditioning tests) and an impairment of nonemotional cognitive tasks (in the novel object recognition and object pattern of separation tests). Chemogenetic blockade of the LC-BLA pathway and intra-BLA or systemic antagonism of beta-adrenergic receptors abolished both long-term pain-induced anxiety and enhanced fear learning. By contrast, chemogenetic activation of this pathway induced anxiety-like behaviors and enhanced the aversive learning and memory index in sham animals, although it had little effect on short- and long-term chronic constriction injury animals. Interestingly, modulation of LC-BLA activity did not modify sensorial perception or episodic memory.ConclusionsOur results indicate that dimensions associated with pain are processed by independent pathways and that there is an overactivation of the LC-BLA pathway when anxiety and chronic pain are comorbid, which involves the activity of beta-adrenergic receptors.     

Otosclerosis surgery: Assessment of patient comfort

ObjectivesTo evaluate operative comfort and stress in patients undergoing stapedotomy for otosclerosis under local versus general anesthesia.Material and methodsConsecutive otosclerosis patients managed over a 9-month period responded to 3 validated questionnaires to assess peri- and post-operative comfort: Glasgow Benefit Inventory, Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale. These results and audiometric data were compared between local and general anesthesia groups.ResultsTwenty-one patients were included in the local anesthesia group and 7 in the general anesthesia group, after exclusion of patients with history of otosclerosis surgery. There was no significant inter-group difference on Glasgow Benefit Inventory (P = 0.38) or Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale (P = 0.86). Perceived Stress Scale scores were higher in the general anesthesia group (P = 0.038). In total, 67% of patients reported no discomfort under local anesthesia, and 86% were ready to undergo the procedure under local anesthesia again. There were no significant differences in postoperative symptoms, or in air-bone gap ≤ 10 dB (local anesthesia 81%, general anesthesia 71%; P = 0.156).ConclusionsLocal anesthesia in otosclerosis surgery did not increase stress or postoperative symptoms compared to general anesthesia. Audiometric results were not affected by type of anesthesia.     

Complications of hand surgery

Hand surgery involves the surgical treatment of hand conditions and encompasses small bone fixation, arthroscopy, joint replacement and reconstruction of tendon and nerves. Complications following surgery to the hand may be due to patient factors, surgical decisions and the complex anatomy of the hand. Here we describe the complications associated with common surgical interventions for both elective and traumatic injuries to the hand. Following hand surgery, a balance between immobilisation and early range of motion is offset by the risk of wound complications, non-union of fractures and tendon re-rupture with stiffness and reduced range of motion of the digits. Superficial infection is relatively common following procedures to the hand, however long-term sequelae are rare. Implant failure, subsidence, instability and reduced range of motion are seen following arthroplasty procedures. Complex regional pain syndrome offers a significant challenge following injury to the hand and specifically after surgical procedures. Surgeons should consider the risk of particular surgical techniques, other perioperative factors and patient factors that may contribute to the development of complications following hand surgery. Patients should be adequately counselled in order to make an informed decision regarding the management of their condition.
