Side-Effects on the Renal function of Cytoreductive Surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in patients undergo-ing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) due to a combination of several factors: increased intra-abdominal pressure, heat stress and drug tox-icity. Patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit after CRS and HIPEC during 129 months. Data recorded were: demographic characteristics; severity of illness, haematology and basic chemistry panels (renal function and electrolytes), type of cancer and extension, HIPEC drug and temperature, fluid balance, ICU and hospital stay and mortality.

"I will take part in the revolution with our people": a qualitative study of healthcare workers' experiences of violence and resistance after the 2021 Myanmar coup d'etat.

Background: In Myanmar, ongoing conflict since the 2021 military coup d'etat has been characterized by targeted violence against health workers (HWs), particularly those participating in the pro-democracy movement. Existing knowledge about the challenges faced by health workers in Myanmar is scant, including their perspectives on mitigating their suffering and the broader impact on community health. This knowledge gap prompted our study to assess the extent of the violence, its impact on the workers and the community, and identify resource priorities.

Exploring the cellulolytic activity of environmental mycobacteria.

Although studies on non-tuberculous mycobacteria have increased in recent years because they cause a considerable proportion of infections, their cellulolytic system is still poorly studied. This study presents a characterization of the cellulolytic activities of environmental mycobacterial isolates derived from soil and water samples from the central region of Argentina, aimed to evaluate the conservation of the mechanism for the degradation of cellulose in this group of bacteria. The molecular and genomic identification revealed identity with Mycolicibacterium septicum.

Adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures among residents in selected townships, Yangon Region, Myanmar: a community-based cross-sectional study.

Background: To fight the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, many countries have implemented various mitigation measures to contain the spread of the disease.
