- Advances in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment face challenges due to fast tumor spread and screening issues, especially for early-onset CRC, highlighting the need for better therapies.
- The Rictor-mTORC2-AKT pathway is critical in promoting metastasis, and selective inhibitors targeting mTORC2, like Veratridine (VTD), show promise in reducing tumor growth and metastasis.
- VTD acts by destabilizing Rictor, leading to decreased cancer stem cell populations and aggressive tumor behaviors in CRC, offering a new potential approach to treatment.
Background: Considering the vasopressor drug categories and doses that can be used for elderly patients following hypotension are few, the present trial aimed to compare the effect of different doses of phenylephrine infusion on the prevention of hypotension in elderly patients undergoing orthopaedic lower extremities surgery.
Methods: This randomised, double-blind prospective clinical trial was conducted by including 60 elderly patients older than 60 years and classified as American Society of Anesthesiology class I and II who were candidates for femur fracture fixation surgery. White and black cards randomly allocated patients to: group A (25µg/kg/h phenylephrine) or group B (35µg/kg/h phenylephrine).
