Objective: To determine the correlation between methylene blue use and toxic metabolic encephalopathy in patients undergoing surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.
Study Design And Setting: A retrospective study of 193 patients was performed to collect demographic, perioperative, and postoperative data. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (postoperative neurological sequelae) and Group B (no neurological sequelae). All data points were compared between the groups.
Results: Twelve of 193 patients were placed in Group A; 181 patients were placed in Group B. Ten patients in Group A were female, and 10 patients were older than 60 years. Of the patients in Group A, 100% were taking a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI). In Group B, 8.8% of patients were taking an SRI.
Conclusion: All the patients who experienced transient neurological events were taking an SRI. A correlation can be made between methylene blue infusion and SRI usage.
Significance: Patients taking SRIs may represent a high-risk group for postoperative neurological events when methylene blue is utilized.

Investigate the impact of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using different photosensitizers (PSs) such as indocyanine green (IG), curcumin (CC), and methylene blue (MB), with or without intracanal application of calcium hydroxide (CH), on the push-out bond strength of glass-fiber posts (GFPs) to intraradicular dentin, the chemical composition of the root substrate, and the sealing of the adhesive interface across different thirds of intraradicular dentin. A total of 112 bovine teeth underwent biomechanical preparation and were divided into eight experimental groups (n = 14 each): Negative control with deionized water; positive control with deionized water + CH; IG group with indocyanine green and infrared laser; IG + CH group; CC group with curcumin and blue LED; CC + CH group; MB group with methylene blue and red laser; and MB + CH group. The push-out bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine (n = 8), and scanning electron microscopy characterized the fracture patterns.

The crosslinked porous corn starch was prepared by two steps: the native corn starch was hydrolyzed by α-amylase and glucoamylase, then the porous corn was crosslinked by sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP). The morphology and size of granules, spherulites, crystal type, molecular structure, swelling properties, thermal stability and adsorption properties of the crosslinked porous starch were investigated. The results indicated that a lot of holes formed in the porous starch, and the particle size of starch granules decreased.

With the progress of modern technology and the diversification of societal demands, traditional materials with single properties can no longer meet the requirements of complex and constantly evolving application scenarios. To tackle intricate biomedical applications like disease diagnosis and treatment, scientists are focusing on exploring the design of novel multifunctional biomaterials that possess diverse activities. Bismuth titanate (BiTiO, BTO), which has multifunctionality and great application potential, unfortunately suffers from inadequate photocatalytic performance.

In the present study, biopolymeric Schiff base (SB) ligands were synthesized from chitosan and isatin. Consequently, their earth abundant transition metal complexes of cobalt and copper were synthesized. All compounds were extensively characterized using FTIR and UV spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetric (TG) analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and FESEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy).

Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the association between methylene blue staining pattern and the presence of histologic nodal metastasis in dogs with low-grade mast cell tumour in low-resource settings for the efficient diagnosis of lymphatic spread.
Methods: Dogs with a single, cytologically low-grade mast cell tumour and no documented distant metastases were prospectively included and underwent surgery. Along with primary mast cell tumour removal, intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping with peritumoral mast cell tumour injection and regional lymph node excision, regardless of whether blue dye was visible in the lymph node, were performed.
