Introduction: Permanent implantation of vascular catheters allows multiple blood sampling from the experimental animal. The aim of the study was firstly to establish four cannulation procedures in rats, which will result in high rate of catheter patency after the post surgical recovery period and secondly to determine a suitability of food and water consumption (FC and WC) and body weight gain (BW) as markers for the estimation of the length of recovery period.
Methods: Cannulation of the jugular vein (n=12), femoral vein (n=15), ileocolic vein (n=13) and the dual cannulation of the jugular vein/duodenum (n=7) were performed in the rat. Catheter patency was monitored throughout the recovery period. Rats were considered fully recovered after return of BW, FC and WC to the preoperative values.
Results: A decrease of catheter patency in the recovery period followed a linear regression model in all cannulation groups (P<0.01, R(2)>0.87). BW significantly decreased in the rats subjected to ileocolic and jugular/duodenum cannulation procedures only. A significant transient decrease of FC and increase of WC was observed in all cannulation groups. FC returned to the preoperative values more slowly than BW and WC. Therefore FC was considered as the most sensitive parameter for the estimation of the length of recovery period, resulting in the recovery period of 10 days and catheter patency of 75-85% in the case of jugular vein, femoral vein and dual jugular vein/duodenum cannulation procedures. After the cannulation of the ileocolic vein FC did not return to the preoperative values.
Discussion: The catheter patency at the end of recovery period, which was estimated by the FC, was assured in the majority of rats in all cannulation groups, with the exception of the ileocolic vein cannulation group. In this particular cannulation group FC did not return to preoperative values, thus indicating that further optimization of the ileocolic vein cannulation procedure is required.

Background: Delta large-channel endoscopy and unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) are prominent minimally invasive techniques for treating lumbar spinal stenosis, known for minimal tissue damage, clear visualization, and quick recovery. However, rigorous controlled research comparing these procedures is scarce, necessitating further investigation into their respective complications and long-term effectiveness. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare their perioperative outcomes, focusing on postoperative recovery and complications over time.

The rapid urbanization, industrial growth, and socio-cultural activities along riverbanks in hilly cities are transforming land use and intensifying water infrastructure challenges. Paonta Sahib, a culturally significant town in Himachal Pradesh on the Yamuna River, along the foothills of the Himalayas exemplifies these pressures due to its religious tourism, industrialization, and mining activities. This study explores sustainable riverfront development at Paonta Sahib, addressing socio-cultural, environmental, and technical concerns essential for eco-sensitive urban planning.

Background: There is growing evidence from laboratory and clinical trials that deep brain stimulation (DBS) at memory associated structures enhances cognitive functions. Best site for memory enhancing-DBS is still unclear. The medial septum (MS), the important modulator of the hippocampal neural network, might be a key target to accomplish therapeutic efficacy in memory impaired patients.

Background: Depression affects individuals across various ages but is of significance in the older surgical population due to its adverse impact on cognitive function, surgical recovery, and overall functional disability. This study aimed to determine the overall prevalence and trajectory of depression in older surgical patients preoperatively, and at 30-, 90- and 180-days postoperatively.
Method: This study is a prespecified sub-study and analysis of the Postoperative Functional Disability in Unrecognized Cognitive Impairment Study.
