Severe pulmonary conditions in patients undergoing surgery place them at greater risk of adverse outcomes. Alternatives to general anesthesia are encouraged, particularly for emergent interventions, as these procedures can compromise the patients' full recovery postoperatively. We describe an example of an underused anesthetic technique, continuous spinal anesthesia, to circumvent the perioperative risk of major abdominal surgery, successfully avoiding invasive mechanical ventilation in these patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Banana breeding involves creating hybrids with varying ploidy levels (diploid, triploid, tetraploid) to enhance desirable traits and increase genetic diversity in bananas, focusing on resistance to diseases like yellow and black Sigatoka and Fusarium wilt.
  • Embrapa's Banana Genetic Breeding Program aims to cross improved diploids with commercial triploids to boost both genetic variability and agronomic performance.
  • A genetic diversity study using DNA markers identified key improved diploid genotypes for breeding, revealing significant genetic differences that can guide effective crossings to maintain beneficial traits in commercial banana varieties.
