The effect of short-acting barbiturates on the number of theophylline-resistant and theophylline-sensitive T-lymphocytes in donors and patients with lung cancer on the function of spontaneous and induced donor regulators as well as the concentration of cyclic nucleotides and T-lymphocytes in donors has been studied in vitro. The effect of general anesthesia with barbiturates on the number of lymphocyte populations and subpopulations in the peripheral blood of somatically healthy patients with minimum surgical trauma has also been assessed. These studies as well as previous investigations serve the basis for elucidating the impact of general anesthesia with barbiturates on the immunity. It is recommended to identify the nature of immunodepression in patients with preoperative immune deficiencies.

Pulmonary resections are critical interventions for treating various lung pathologies, both benign and malignant. Understanding the impact of these surgeries on patients' Quality of Life (QoL) is essential for optimizing care. This study aims to compare the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and psychological well-being in patients who underwent pulmonary resections for benign versus malignant etiologies.

Accurate self-assessments enhance learning and patient care, yet resident physicians self-assess poorly. We therefore tested the effects of a consider-the-opposite (CTO) cognitive debiasing technique on self-assessment accuracy among anesthesiology residents. Trainees self-assessed their technical skills and communication/leadership abilities, then completed a CTO intervention before repeating self-assessments.
