Identifying Components of an Enhanced Recovery Pathway for Primary Cleft Palate Repair: A Scoping Review.

Cleft Palate Craniofac J

January 2025

Department of Plastic Surgery, Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin, Dublin, Ireland.

Objective: This study aims to map the existing sources of evidence on perioperative care and recovery strategies for primary cleft palate repair, to identify elements that should be included in an enhanced recovery pathway (ERP), and to identify gaps in current knowledge.

Design: Scoping review.

Setting: ERPs are evidence-based, patient-centered, multimodal, perioperative care pathways designed to reduce surgical stress and improve postoperative outcomes and are increasingly being reported in the cleft lip and palate literature.

Efficacy and safety of ondansetron orally soluble pellicle for preventing moderate- to high-emetic risk chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

BMC Cancer

January 2025

Department of Radiotherapy, Hubei Cancer Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, No. 116 South Zuodaoquan Road, Wuhan, 430079, China.

Objective: Ondansetron orally soluble pellicle can serve as an alternative option for preventing nausea and vomiting in patients who receive chemotherapy. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence regarding ondansetron. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of ondansetron in patients with malignant tumours who received chemotherapy drugs with a moderate-to-high emetic risk.

Article Synopsis
  • Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but severe complication during childbirth that can lead to rapid failure of multiple organ systems and significant maternal mortality.
  • A case study involving a 31-year-old woman induced for labor revealed AFE's unpredictability, as she developed sudden fetal distress and hypoxia, leading to an emergency cesarean delivery.
  • Despite the high mortality associated with AFE, both the mother and the infant survived and were doing well six months later, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment options like the "A-OK" protocol.

Background: Ondansetron is widely used for prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after general anesthesia. While previous studies have emphasized its early use, the effects of ondansetron in intensive care unit (ICU) patients following cardiac surgery remain unclear. This study investigates the association between postoperative ondansetron exposure and the risk of mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in ICU patients after cardiac surgery.

Ondansetron blocks fluoxetine effects in immature neurons in the adult rat piriform cortex layer II.

Neurosci Lett

Neurobiology Unit, Institute for Biotechnology and Biomedicine (BIOTECMED), University of Valencia, Spain. Electronic address:

Neuronal structural plasticity gives the adult brain the capacity to adapt to internal or external factors by structural and molecular changes. These plastic processes seem to be mediated, among others, by the action of the neurotransmitter serotonin through specific receptors (5-HTRs). Previous studies have shown that the maturation of granule cells in the hippocampus is mediated by 5-HT3.
