Bilirubin estimation using non-invasive optical diagnostic technique.

Jaundice is a well-studied condition in many countries. It affects 70% of newborns and is a significant contributor to both illness and death. Although benign, it can cause persistent hearing impairment, athetosis, and intellectual disabilities.

Transparent Biomaterial-Based Nonvolatile Bioelectronic Memory with Excellent Endurance.

With the recent upsurge of data-driven technology, the demand for storage elements has pushed the researchers to explore design of nobel nonvolatile memory devices with diverse functionalities. However, the management of electronic waste has become a prominent challenge due to the rapid growth of the solid-state electronics industry. Biomaterial-based Resistive Random Access Memory (Bio-RRAM) has become one of the most promising devices that can augment the quality of memory devices because of their environmentally benign behavior, biocompatible, nontoxic, transient, transferable, flexible, dissolvable, and biodegradable nature.

The efficacy and safety of continuous transmuscular quadratus lumborum block for postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic nephrectomy: A prospective randomized clinical trial.

Background And Aims: Analgesic efficacy and safety of continuous catheter technique in transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (QLB3) for laparoscopic nephrectomy has not been studied. This study was planned to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided continuous QLB3 for postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic nephrectomy.

Material And Methods: In this randomized, open-label, single-centered trial, 64 patients belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, physical status grade I and II, 18-65 years of age, scheduled for laparoscopic nephrectomy were included.

Effects of intraoperative recruitment maneuver in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic surgery: A narrative review.

In this article, we explored 18 studies showing the impact of the intraoperative recruitment maneuver on patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic surgery. A recruiting maneuver accompanied by a more significant positive end-expiratory pressure enhances intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory mechanics in obese patients undergoing surgery. They are safe and do not have unfavorable hemodynamic consequences.
