Anesthesia Trauma Guidelines: A Systematic Review of Global Accessibility and Quality.

This systematic review describes the available clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for the anesthetic management of trauma and appraises the accessibility and quality of these resources. This review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A search was conducted across 8 databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, CABI Digital Library, Global Index Medicus, SciELO, Google Scholar, and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) for guidelines from 2010 to 2023.

Response surface methology for enzymatic ultrasound assisted sp-ICP-MS assessment of cuonps in seafood: Occurrence and bioaccumulation.

A novel approach for a reliable extraction and analytical characterization of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) at trace levels on seafood samples was tuned up using single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (sp-ICP-MS). Variables for enzymatic extraction of CuONPs were optimised via response surface methodology (RSM) analysis, to maximize both the extracted CuONPs mass and number concentrations without altering their native size and morphology. Analytical performance features of the whole (enzymatic ultrasound-assisted/sp-ICP-MS) approach were thoroughly evaluated.

Selective dual sensing strategy for free and vitamin D micelles in food samples based on S,N-GQDs photoinduced electron transfer.

A reliable nanotechnological sensing strategy, based on an S,N-co-doped graphene quantum dot (GQD) platform, has been developed to distinctly detect two key variants of vitamin D, specifically the free (VD) and the nanoencapsulated form (VDMs). For this purpose, food-grade vitamin D micelles were self-assembled using a low-energy procedure (droplet size: 49.6 nm, polydispersity index: 0.

Preoperative Patient Evaluation: Newer Hypoglycemic Agents.

New medications in the treatment of diabetes are an active area of research and drug development. Although many hypoglycemic therapies have been in use for decades, new evidence continues to emerge highlighting benefits of these medications for other indications. In this article, the authors review the classes of newer hypoglycemic agents and summarize medications currently in phase 2 and 3 clinical trials.

Cardiac arrest due to an unexpected inability to ventilate in a tracheostomy patient suggesting the need for a routine anesthesia checklist and an anesthesia relevant emergency pathway for tracheostomy management: a case report.

Background: Up to 30% of patients worldwide have a significant complication related to their tracheostomy. We report a case of a 'cannot ventilate' event resulting in cardiac arrest due to an unexpected airway occlusion in a patient with a pre-existing brain injury The following case report is unique as the patient had developed a mucus plug that turned into a crystal following a coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) infection.

Case Description: The patient was a young adult who suffered a traumatic brain injury from a motor vehicle collision.
