Purpose: Low intraabdominal pressure (IAP) during laparoscopy is associated with improved post-operative outcomes across a variety of surgical specialties. A prospective cohort study was undertaken to assess post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCRS) with low (8mmHg) versus conventional (15mmHg) IAP.
Methods: A prospective real-world observational study of patients undergoing LCRS in a single-centre, between June 2020 and June 2023 was performed.

Methods: Participants with IBD were monitored for 40 to 130 minutes with a proprietary wearable sensor device used to measure C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and calprotectin.
Opioids are considered to be a global threat, and we are facing the worst opioid crisis of the decade. Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are highly potent and deadly toward human body, and hence its detection is an inevitable requirement globally. Naloxone is known for its antagonist property toward fentanyl, and we performed computational simulations to find their interactions and use this principle to build the first of a kind impedimetric sensor device, transduced by 3D-ZIF-8 with in situ encapsulated naloxone-gold nanoparticles.
