The Hemodynamic Management and Postoperative Outcomes After Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: A Prospective Observational Study.

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) has become standard treatment for peritoneal cancers and metastases, significantly enhancing survival rates. This study evaluated the relationship between tumor burden, hemodynamic management, and postoperative outcomes after CRS-HIPEC. This study included 203 patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC.

Impact of socioeconomic and geographical factors on clinical care of biliary atresia patients: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: Biliary atresia (BA) is a critical pediatric condition requiring timely intervention through Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE), and up to two-thirds of patients need liver transplantation (LT). The outcomes for BA patients still need improvement in low- and middle-income countries. This study aims to assess the socioeconomic and geographical profile of BA patients in India, focusing on their compliance with follow-up care, treatment-seeking behaviour, and acceptability of LT in addition, it provides recommendations to overcome identified challenges.

Escherichia coli in diarrhoeic lambs: Prevalence, virulence and antibiotic resistance.

The present study aimed to detect the prevalence, virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes profile of Escherichia coli isolated from diarrhoeic lambs. A total of 61 faecal samples were collected from diarrhoeic lambs. The presence of various virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes in E.

Dexmedetomidine in colon cancer surgery: Evaluating its impact and efficacy.

We present an editorial on an article that highlights the benefits of dexmedetomidine (Dex) in colon cancer surgeries, which have been thoroughly investigated in the referenced publication involving 117 subjects. Of these patients, 59 (group A) received Dex before anesthesia induction, while 58 (group B) received normal saline. Group A patients demonstrated several advantages over Group B, including lower propofol and remifentanil requirements, improved cerebral oxygenation as measured by regional cerebral oxygen saturation, better hemodynamic stability, and reduced incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
