American Society of Anesthesiologists hosts ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025
Showcasing cutting-edge research at the ASA annual meeting, Oct. 10–14, San Antonio
2025-08-06
(Press-News.org) CHICAGO – Older patients whose primary language is not English may be at greater risk for delirium after surgery in American hospitals. People who struggle with food insecurity or loneliness may be more likely to experience chronic pain after surgery. Fentanyl overdose deaths in older adults are rising at similar rates to younger people. When anesthesiologists lead preoperative care for hip fractures, patients get to the operating room faster and recover better. These findings and other timely research will be presented at ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025, the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), Oct. 10-14, in San Antonio.
ANESTHESIOLOGY 2025 is the premier event of the specialty offering:
Innovative scientific research from over 800 abstracts offering new insights on a wide variety of topics affecting anesthesiology.
More than 350 educational sessions and panels covering the latest in specialized care for obstetric and pediatric patients, non-opioid acute and chronic pain management, how artificial intelligence is being used in anesthesiology and more.
Lucy Kalanithi, M.D., FACP – a New York Times bestselling author and physician – will present the keynote address “When Breath Becomes Air: From Physician to Patient – The Intersection of Medicine, Mortality, and Humanity.”
An engaging exhibit hall where attendees can interact with leading innovators in the field, watch hands-on demonstrations and get insights on the latest technology and cutting-edge solutions shaping the future of patient care.
What: ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025
When: Oct. 10-14
Where: Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, 900 E. Market Street, San Antonio, TX 78205

THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGISTS
Founded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific society with more than 59,000 members organized to advance the medical practice of anesthesiology and secure its future. ASA is committed to ensuring anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of all patients before, during, and after surgery. ASA members also lead the care of critically ill patients in intensive care units, as well as treat pain in both acute and chronic settings.

Captive cockatoos have at least 30 different dance moves in their repertoire, including headbanging and body rolls, according to a study by Natasha Lubke at Charles Sturt University in Australia, and colleagues, publishing August 6, 2025 in the open-access journal PLOS One. The moves, of which 17 are newly identified, may be performed with or without music.
Several species of parrot have been anecdotally observed dancing to music in captivity. Dancing results from complex brain processes including imitation, ...

A new analysis of data on scientists with exceptional early-career success—according to a metric known as citation impact—has identified common characteristics among them, some of which could also be indicators of problematic or fraudulent behaviors. John Ioannidis of Stanford University, U.S., presents these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One on August 6, 2025.
Citation impact reflects a scientist’s overall influence in their field, which depends, in part, on the number of ...

Two-thirds of dogs tested in a recent survey consume higher-than-recommended levels of heavy metals in their drinking water, according to a study published August 6, 2025 in the open-access journal PLOS Water by Audrey Ruple from Virginia Tech, U.S., and colleagues. The survey, which focused on well water households in 10 states, uncovered 13 instances where arsenic, lead and copper tested above EPA-recommended levels.
Roughly 15 million U.S. households use private well water and are not protected by the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act, which regulates safety testing in drinking water. These households — and the canine companions inside — ...

Analysis of ocean sediments has surfaced geochemical clues in line with the possibility that an encounter with a disintegrating comet 12,800 years ago in the Northern Hemisphere triggered rapid cooling of Earth’s air and ocean. Christopher Moore of the University of South Carolina, U.S., and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One on August 6, 2025.
During the abrupt cool-off—the Younger Dryas event—temperatures dropped about 10 degrees Celsius in a year or less, with cooler temperatures lasting about 1,200 years. Many researchers believe that no comet was ...

Waiting in Line: Why Six Feet of Social Distancing May Not Be Enough
Study, led by undergraduate physics majors at UMass Amherst and researchers at University of Cadiz, sharpens our understanding of how airborne-communicable diseases travel
AMHERST, Mass. – We all remember the advice frequently repeated during the COVID pandemic: maintain six feet of distance from every other human when waiting in a line to avoid transmitting the virus. While reasonable, the advice did not take into account the complicated fluid dynamics governing how the airborne particles ...

Dogs drink water wherever they happen to find it — a puddle, a pond, a toilet. But the stuff in their actual water bowls almost always comes from the same tap their owners use. When that water is contaminated, both dogs and humans may suffer.
The risk is especially high for the 15 million American households that rely on private wells, according to a new Virginia Tech study in the journal PLOS Water. In dog drinking water sampled from wells across the country, 64 percent contained excessive levels of at least one potentially toxic heavy metal, such as lead, iron, sulfur, or arsenic.
Whatever’s ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif) — Researchers at UC Santa Barbara, The University of Texas at Austin, Yale University and National Taiwan Normal University have found that a fair number of sun-like stars emerge with their rotational axis tilted with respect to their protoplanetary disks, the clouds of gas and dust from which solar systems are born.
“All young stars have these discs, but we’ve known little about their orientations with respect to the spin axis of the host stars,” said UCSB associate physics professor Brendan Bowler, who studies how planets form and evolve through their orbits and atmospheres, and is senior author of a study in ...

A study from the Texas A&M University School of Public Health sheds new light on the relationship between community cohesion prior to a natural disaster and resilience after one, with possible policy applications for public health and emergency preparedness practitioners.
“Recent events have reminded us that resilience isn’t just about bricks and budgets,” said community health expert Garett T. Sansom, who led the study. “In part, it’s also about bonds between neighbors.”
Until now, he added, little has been known about the mechanisms ...

Virtual Reality Shows Promise in Easing Stress for Cardiac Patients, UCLA Health Study Finds
Living with cardiovascular disease often takes a serious emotional toll - and with stress known to worsen heart health, there’s growing interest in low-risk, innovative ways to help patients cope. New research from UCLA Health suggests that virtual reality (VR) may offer a promising tool to ease psychological stress and support heart health.
In a pilot study involving 20 patients from UCLA’s ...
