Pain is one of the most common symptoms experienced by patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Adequate pain management is critical to the well-being and overall recovery of these patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative in-person pain education on the pain severity experienced by patients undergoing CABG surgery in Rajaie Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center in Tehran in 2022. In this quasi-experimental study, 72 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery were selected and randomly divided into intervention (n=36) and control (n=36) groups.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a comprehensive care protocol that incorporates evidence-based practices to achieve the most optimal postoperative outcomes, safe on-time discharge, and surgical cost efficiency. ERAS protocols have been adapted for specialty-specific needs and implemented by a variety of surgical disciplines including thoracic surgery.

Microsurgical training is an asset for deployed military orthopaedic surgeons who frequently treat hand or nerve injuries in the field.

Pain after breast cancer surgery or Postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) is a well-recognized problem associated with functional impairment. It is defined as pain on the anterior or lateral region of thorax, axilla and/or medial upper arm after surgery without infection or tumor recurrence. 

The design of safe drug delivery systems that locally allow efficacious concentration of curative molecules has become the latest frontier in nanomedicine. It usually relies on the entrapment of drugs into micro/nano carriers guaranteeing for the controlled release of the drugs while protecting them from degradation and fast clearance.
