Can oral caffeine decrease postoperative opioid consumption following posterior spinal fusion in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis? A randomized placebo-controlled trial by Anne Stuedemann, MSN, RN, CPNP, Richard M Schwend, MD FAAP FAOA, Kenneth A. Shaw, MD, Nicolette Saddler, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, Michon Huston, PA-C, Michael Benvenuti, MD, Julia Leamon, MSN, RN, CPN, Ashley K. Sherman, MA, John Anderson, MD

“…Postoperative opioid usage was lower in the caffeine cohort for POD 1 (18.6 MME vs. 21.6 MME; p=.19), but this difference was not statistically significant. Opioid usage decreased in the caffeine study group for POD 1 (caffeine: 0.35 MME/kg vs. 0.4 MME/kg; p=.19) and mean daily total opioid usage over the hospital stay (caffeine: 0.32 MME/kg vs. 0.37 MME/kg; p=1), but these differences were not statistically significant. …”

Excited cluster states: A new source for proton number fluctuations in the high baryon density regime by Boris Tomášik, Marcus Bleicher

“…We calculate the contribution of the decay products of excited nuclear cluster states to the event-by-event fluctuations of protons in the energy range from sNN=2−5 GeV within the statistical model. We find that the inclusion of the excited nuclear clusters yields corrections to all cumulant ratios, ranging from 1% for ratio of second to first-order cumulant to 100% for the sixth to second order cumulant towards the lowest inspected energy. …”
