Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how isomerisation in photochromic spirocompounds affects their functionality, particularly in crystalline forms.
- Advanced femtosecond spectroscopy shows that when crystalline spiropyran is excited with a 266 nm pulse, rapid bond breaking and isomerisation occur, forming merocyanine in less than 2 picoseconds.
- These findings indicate that the process is highly reversible and could lead to new ultrafast technologies using spiropyran-based materials.
Objective: To map the practice of paediatric perioperative pain assessment and management among consultant anaesthetists working in teaching institutions in the two provinces of Pakistan.
Study Design: A cross-sectional survey. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Anaesthesiology, Teaching institutions of Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan, from January to October 2022.
This case report details a rare presentation of neuroblastoma in an adult patient. The patient, a 22-year-old female, presented with a right-sided abdominal mass and discomfort for the last 12 months. Imaging studies revealed a huge adrenal mass occupying the right quadrant of the abdomen with displacement of the surrounding structures.

- The study investigates the challenges and complications associated with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in elderly patients, often with multiple health issues, emphasizing the complexity of the procedure and post-operative care.
- It analyzed the medical records of patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis who were deemed high-risk for traditional surgeries, focusing on their demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes after one year.
- Results showed the patients had a low rate of complications, including minimal anesthesia-related issues, and outcomes comparable to leading global centers, indicating that TAVI might be a safe option for high-risk individuals.
In today's era of modern healthcare, the intersection between medical practices and environmental responsibility has gained significant attention. One such area of focus is the practice of anesthesia, which plays a crucial role in various surgical procedures. Anesthetics such as nitrous oxide and volatile halogenated ethers (desflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane) are examples of medical gases that are strong greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
