Article Synopsis
  • During the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries faced a shortage of intensive care units (ICUs), leading to a halt in elective surgeries and a need for alternative surgical methods for critically ill patients.
  • Eighteen elderly patients underwent awake open abdominal surgery with locoregional anesthesia, and although their COVID-19 status was assessed, this setup successfully minimized complications and avoided postoperative ICU needs.
  • The study concluded that awake laparotomy under locoregional anesthesia is a safe and effective option for high-risk patients during the pandemic, allowing essential surgeries while preserving ICU resources.

The interaction of copper ions with tRNA has been studied by optical and EPR spectroscopies. The interaction results in two different paramagnetic complexes characterized by a tetragonal symmetry of the ligand electric field sensed by the ions. The complete set of the spin Hamiltonian parameters has been extracted by computer simulation with the Monte Carlo method.
