SARS-CoV-2 virus may have lingering effects on peripheral nerves

Adding to a growing body of evidence that, for many, problems related to COVID-19 linger longer than the initial infection, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that some people infected during the pandemic's early months experienced peripheral neuropathy - pain, tingling and numbness in the hands and feet - during and following their bouts with the virus.

Women receive fewer life-saving heart procedures than men

In the first study to examine differences by sex and race in outcomes following the seven most common procedures for heart problems, researchers found that women are less likely to undergo these procedures- and even when women do receive these procedures, they are more likely than men to die while in the hospital, according to data that will be presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

$Local anesthetic use for hip fracture patients on the day of admission is increasing, data suggests$

Local anesthetic use for hip fracture patients on the day of admission is increasing, data suggests

Patients with traumatic injuries who are treated in the emergency room are susceptible to opioid-related adverse drug effects. Increased use of regional anesthesia can be helpful in the effort to reduce the use of opioids. However, it's not clear how often patients receive regional anesthesia prior to going to the operating room.
