Lingo1 in the hippocampus contributes to cognitive dysfunction after anesthesia and surgery in aged mice.

Cognitive impairment caused by anesthesia and surgery is one of the most common complications with multiple etiologies that occurs in elderly patients. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and there is a lack of therapeutic strategies. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that myelin loss, abnormal phosphorylation of the tau protein and neuronal apoptosis are substantial driving factors of cognitive deficits.

Comparative study between using a stapler and hand sewing in bullectomy.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Assiut University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt.

Introduction: Spontaneous pneumothorax is a life-threatening thoracic condition that could be either primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) in the absence of an underlying lung disease or secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) in the presence of an underlying lung disease. In the case of recurrent, contralateral spontaneous pneumothorax or persistent air leak with a chest drain, surgery with bullectomy associated with pleurectomy or pleurodesis is the gold standard management.

Aim: To compare two different techniques for bullectomy, either by using staplers or by hand sewing.

A 6-year-old Labrador retriever dog with a history of pneumonia was presented because of an acute onset of dull mentation and coughing. Diagnostic imaging and cytology revealed a pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and pleural effusion, consistent with pyothorax. The dog underwent exploratory sternotomy for lung lobectomy of the right cranial and middle lung lobes.

Objective: Prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery significantly increases morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to establish the role of diaphragmatic pacing to decrease mechanical ventilation burden in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods: This is a prospective, randomized trial of temporary diaphragmatic pacing electrode use in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (NCT04899856).
