BMP6 participates in the molecular mechanisms involved in APAP hepatotoxicity.

Given the lack of accurate diagnostic methods of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver failure (ALF), the search for new biomarkers for its diagnosis is an urgent need. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6) in APAP-induced ALF progression and its potential value as a biomarker of ALF. Hepatic and circulating BMP6 expression was assessed in APAP-treated mice and in serum samples from patients with APAP overdose.

The benefits and drawbacks of music in the operating room.

Introduction: A significant proportion of surgeons listen to music in the operating room (MOR) during a surgical procedure. Over the last twenty years, this practice has been widely studied. The aim of this article is to analyze the effects of MOR on surgical performance, postoperative history and, more generally, on communication in the operating theater.

Effects of anesthetic protocol, procedure, and recovery stall and interval on the quality of recovery in repeatedly anesthetized horses.

The objective of this prospective study was to investigate whether repeated consecutive general anesthesia in horses undergoing 2 different anesthetic protocols could lead to improved recovery scores. Six healthy female Standardbred horses (453 ± 57 kg; 6.5 ± 4.
