Adverse Effects of Chemotherapy and the Interaction With Anesthesia: A Narrative Review.

Many cancer patients have their main tumors surgically removed with the goal of curing them, or as part of palliative care. When a patient receives general anesthesia, the side effects of the administered chemotherapy regimens must be considered, especially those that may have significant repercussions during anesthetic care. The aim of this study is to review the existing literature to identify adverse effects of chemotherapy and known interactions between chemotherapy and anesthetic drugs, analyze the mechanisms underlying these interactions, and discuss relevant clinical implications.

Protective fibrous structures based on cellulose fibers functionalized with metal oxide nanoparticles by electrospinning and electrospray deposition.

This work aims to develop a bio-based fibrous material that is able to adsorb and degrade chemical and biological hazardous agents. Thus, cellulosic fabrics (flax) were functionalized with chitosan (CS) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrospun nanofibers doped with titanium dioxide (TiO) and cerium dioxide (CeO) nanoparticles (NPs). The electrospray deposition of these NPs was also tested.

The burden of pre-operative anaemia and postoperative outcomes in 15 166 surgical patients from a public hospital in Brazil: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Preoperative anaemia is associated with poor postoperative outcomes; however, few studies have reported its prevalence in developing countries and its association with significant postoperative outcomes.

Objective: We aimed to identify the prevalence of anaemia and its association with postoperative outcomes in a major public hospital in Brazil.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Reliability and validity of the modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0) in a sample of individuals with depressive disorders.

Background: Food addiction (FA) is strongly associated with depressive symptoms. The reliability and validity of the Modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (mYFAS 2.

An Analysis of the Biocompatibility, Cytotoxicity, and Bone Conductivity of Polycaprolactone: An In Vivo Study.

Background: Tissue engineering represents a promising field in regenerative medicine, with bioresorbable polymers such as polycaprolactone (PCL) playing a crucial role as scaffolds. These scaffolds support the growth and repair of tissues by mimicking the extracellular matrix.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the in vivo performance of three-dimensional PCL scaffolds by evaluating their effects on bone repair in rat calvaria and the tissue reaction in subcutaneous implant sites, as well as their impact on major organs such as the kidneys, lungs, and liver.
