Electrophoretic patterns of hemoglobins, Root effect, Bohr effect in blood and stripped hemoglobin, Hb-O2 affinity GTP modulation of Astyanax scabripinnis (lambari), caught at three different altitudes in Ribeirão Grande, near Campos do Jordão (São Paulo), are described. All populations showed the same electrophoretic patterns: two cathodal components in starch gel. Normal Bohr effect values were found in these three populations both in blood (phi = -0.11) and stripped hemoglobin (phi = -0.12). Different blood O2 affinities collected in fish of these 3 populations were detected. GTP has a large influence on Hb-O2 binding properties in A. scabripinnis. Stripped hemoglobin shows small Root effect. The addition of triphosphated nucleotides increases this effect. GTP is more effective than ATP on enhancing Root effect. Oxygen availability in water can be the factor responsible for differences found in blood O2 affinity.

Does the advantage of transcutaneous oximetry measurements in diabetic foot ulcer apply equally to free flap reconstruction?
World J Clin Cases
November 2023
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, College of Medicine, Soonchunhyang University, Cheonan-si 31151, South Korea.
Background: Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcpO) is a precise method for determining oxygen perfusion in wounded tissues. The device uses either electrochemical or optical sensors.
Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of TcpO measurements on free flaps (FFs) in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
Gauze packing may be a better hemostatic method to protect ovarian reserve during laparoscopic endometrioma cystectomy than conventional hemostatic methods.
Arch Gynecol Obstet

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, 107 Yanjiang Road West, Guangzhou, China.
Purpose: To compare the ovarian reserve of different hemostatic methods after laparoscopic endometrioma stripping (LES) and explore which factors may affect ovarian reserve.
Methods: Patients who underwent LES from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively included. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels were measured before, and 3 months after surgery to determine changes of serum AMH in each patient.

December 2022
Pediatric Department, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
Unlabelled: Despite of growing evidence of the beneficial effects of placental transfusion techniques, there is no available sufficient data about their effects on vulnerable hemodynamics and myocardium of premature infants. The purpose of this work is to study ventricular functions and hemodynamics after applying different placental transfusion techniques, delayed cord clamping (DCC), cut cord milking (C-UCM), and intact cord milking (I-UCM). Sixty-four infants delivered whether by C-section or vaginal delivery were randomly assigned to undergo C-UCM (20-30 cm), I-UCM (3-4 strippings), and DCC (30-60 s).
