Article Synopsis
  • Microvascular free-flap reconstruction is a surgical option for patients undergoing large resections of head and neck tumors, with a study examining short-term outcomes and complications following this procedure.
  • A retrospective analysis of 31 patients between 2014 and 2020 revealed a 35% rate of flap complications, with surgical site infections significantly linked to longer surgery times and higher body mass index.
  • The findings suggest that while this reconstruction technique is viable, careful evaluation of potential postoperative risks is crucial for patient selection.

Objective: 6-Shogaol, bioactive compound of Zingiber officinale Roscoe, has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. The objective of the present study was to verify the effect of 6-shogaol on behavioral parameters in a preclinical model based on a maternal immune activation (MIA) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Methodology: Twelve pregnant Wistar rats received 100-μg/kg LPS or saline solution on gestational day (GD) 9.

6-Shogaol is one of the main active phenolic components of ginger and has neuroprotective effects by protecting brain against the oxidative stress and regulate the levels of neurotrophic factors. The objective of the present study was to verify the effect of 6-shogaol on neurochemical parameters in offspring after maternal immune activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats. Twelve pregnant Wistar rats received 100 μg/kg of LPS or saline solution on the gestational day 9.
