Abstract Purpose An intermediate cervical plexus block (CPB) targets the posterior cervical space between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the prevertebral fascia. The phrenic nerve descends obliquely on the surface of the anterior scalene muscle beneath the prevertebral fascia after originating from the C3–C5 ventral rami. Therefore, the phrenic nerve can be affected by a local anesthetic during an intermediate CPB, depending...

Abstract To this day, the pathophysiology and risk factors of propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) remain unknown. Moreover, there is no widely accepted definition of PRIS, even though it is a potentially fatal condition. While many suspected cases of PRIS have been reported in both pediatric and adult populations, the actual propofol plasma concentration (Cp) has never been clarified. In this clinical report, we described the first suspected PRIS case in which the propofol Cp...

Abstract For various end-stage lung diseases, lung transplantation remains one of the only viable treatment options. While the demand for lung transplantation has steadily risen over the last few decades, the availability of donor grafts is limited, which have resulted in progressively longer waiting lists. In the early years of lung transplantation, only the ‘ideal’ donor grafts are considered for transplantation. Due to the donor shortages, there is ongoing discussion about...

Abstract Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) can trigger drastic changes in mating partners, mediating post‐mating sexual selection and associated sexual conflict. Also, cross‐species comparisons have demonstrated that SFPs evolve rapidly and hint that post‐mating sexual selection drives their rapid evolution. In principle, this pattern should be detectable within species as rapid among‐population divergence in SFP expression and function. However, given the multiple other factors that could vary among...
