In fact it seems that the choice between home or hospice care is mainly based on the opinions and needs of patients, families and physicians. This study aims to address the association between the clinical factors detected at the first palliative visit in advanced cancer patients and the choice of palliative care setting (i.

Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Extubation Protocols in the Intensive Care Unit Following Transoral Robotic Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

: There is a notable lack of protocols addressing extubation techniques in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). : This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients who underwent TORS for OSA between March 2015 and December 2021 and were managed with different extubation approaches. The patients were divided into two groups: high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy and conventional oxygen therapy.

Pharmacological targeting of smoothened receptor cysteine-rich domain by Budesonide promotes myelination.

Background: The myelin sheath ensures efficient nerve impulse transmission along the axons. Remyelination is a spontaneous process that restores axonal insulation, promoting neuroprotection and recovery after myelin damage. There is an urgent need for new pharmacological approaches to remyelination and to improve the most effective molecules.
