Impact of universal use of the McGrath videolaryngoscope as the first option for all intubations in the operating room: The multicentre prospective before-after VIDEOLAR-SURGERY study protocol.
Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim (Engl Ed)
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine if the McGrath video laryngoscope, used as the first option for tracheal intubation, improves ease of intubation and reduces complications compared to the traditional Macintosh laryngoscope.
- It's conducted as a multicenter trial involving 35 anesthesiologists across several hospitals, tracking outcomes before and after implementation of the video laryngoscope.
- The study has ethical approval, requires informed consent from participants, and intends to publish its findings in a peer-reviewed journal and present at scientific conferences.
Resilience-based management is essential to protect ecosystems in the Anthropocene. Unlike large-scale climate threats to Great Barrier Reef (GBR) corals, outbreaks of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster cf. solaris) can be directly managed through targeted culling.

We analysed the effectiveness of a nutritional programme, including food supplementation with infant formula, on the evolution of the weight and height of socially vulnerable children from Manaus in the Brazilian Amazon. This study included 7752 children aged 12-24 months admitted to the programme between 2017 and 2020.

Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol
April 2023
Introduction: Arterial hypertension represents the leading modifiable risk factor for all-cause death and early development of cardiovascular disease in women. Current clinical guidelines for the treatment of hypertension noted that women respond to antihypertensive drugs similarly to men and, therefore, treatment recommendations remain the same for both sexes. However, clinical evidence suggests the existence of sex- and gender-related differences (SGRD) in the prevalence, pathophysiology, pharmacodynamics (efficacy and safety) and pharmacokinetics of antihypertensive drugs.

- Iron deficiency anemia remains a significant public health issue among Brazilian children, despite ongoing efforts to address it.
- A study evaluated dietary iron intake and absorption practices among children aged 4-13.9 years across three Brazilian regions, revealing that the majority of iron sources were from plant-based foods, with minimal contribution from animal sources.
- While overall iron intake was adequate, the study found low bioavailability due to inadequate pairing of iron-rich foods with vitamin C and high consumption of iron absorption inhibitors like coffee and tea, which may explain the continued prevalence of iron deficiency in the country.
