Introduction:  Perioperative hypothermia is defined as a patient's core body temperature of less than 36°C, which can lead to several complications. Even mild hypothermia increases the incidence of post-operative wound infection, post-operative ischaemic cardiac events and intra-operative blood loss and prolongs post-operative recovery. It is, hence, essential to maintain and provide normothermia during the perioperative phases for optimal surgical results and patient satisfaction.

Article Synopsis
  • Perioperative hypothermia, a frequent but often overlooked issue during surgery, is influenced by factors like cold environments and anesthetic effects.
  • A study conducted at North Manchester General Hospital analyzed temperature data from 200 elective surgery patients, revealing varying hypothermia rates at different surgical phases.
  • The findings indicate a significant incidence of intraoperative hypothermia, emphasizing the need for proactive measures like patient pre-warming to prevent this complication.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are different forms of the same disease, with similar treatment approaches.
  • Prognostic factors such as undetectable minimal residual disease after treatment can significantly predict better survival outcomes for patients.
  • Treatment decisions depend on disease characteristics, genetic mutations, age, overall health, and the side effects of the treatments, as detailed in the NCCN Guidelines.

A comprehensive, up-to-date systematic review (SR) of the new-onset rheumatic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (R-IMIDs) following COVID-19 vaccinations is lacking. Therefore, we investigated the demographics, management, and prognosis of new R-IMIDs in adults following SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations. A systematic literature search of Medline, Embase, Google Scholar, LitCovid, and Cochrane was conducted.

We report here the discovery of high-confidence MQTL regions and of putative candidate genes associated with seed weight in B. napus using a highly dense consensus genetic map and by comparing various large-scale multiomics datasets. Seed weight (SW) is a direct determinant of seed yield in Brassica napus and is controlled by many loci.
