Article Abstract
Background: Trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) consists of bradycardia or asystole along with hypotension and apnea coinciding with stimulation of the trigeminal nerve. During rhinoplasty procedures, we noticed that local anesthetic solution (LAS) application to the columellar area results in bradycardia. We planned to conduct a randomized prospective study on 47 patients undergoing rhinoplasty to demonstrate the characteristics of TCR arising from the columella.
Method: Local anesthetic solution containing 2% prilocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline was applied under standard general anesthesia protocol. In group 1 (study group, n = 24), 2 mL of LAS was applied to the columella. In group 2 (control group, n = 23), 2 mL of LAS was applied to the nasal dorsum. In group 3 (control group, n = 20), after LAS was applied to nasal dorsum in group 2, we waited for 10 minutes. Then, 2 mL of LAS was applied to the columella. Here, recordings were taken for the columella.Heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) were recorded just before needle insertion (baseline level), at the time of needle insertion (NIT) to the columella or dorsum, and after the 1st, 5th, 10th, 30th, and 60th seconds.
Results: Transient bradycardia (≥20% drop in HR) was observed in 33% of the patients in group 1.Decrease in HR compared to the baseline level in group 1 was significantly greater than that of groups 2 and 3 at all times (P ≤ 0.05).Systolic BP in NIT and in 60th second in group 1, only in NIT in group 2 was significantly lower than that of baseline levels (P ≤ 0.05).
Conclusions: We concluded that stimulation of a sensory branch of the trigeminal nerve in the columellar area leads to TCR under general anesthesia by eliciting clinical hypotension with a drop in systolic BP and in HR of more than 20% compared to the baseline level.Knowing the existence of a certain TCR area will be helpful to the surgeon and anesthesiologist to exercise extra vigilance and to make continuous and meticulous monitoring of the electrocardiogram, HR, and BP during which the TCR may be precipitated such as local anesthetic infiltration to the columellar area in rhinoseptoplasty operations.

Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SS), widely distributed in Gram-negative bacteria, contribute to interbacterial competition and pathogenesis through the translocation of effector proteins to target cells. harbor 5 pathogenicity islands encoding T6SS (SPI-6, SPI-19, SPI-20, SPI-21 and SPI-22), in which a limited number of effector proteins have been identified. Previous analyses by our group focused on the identification of candidate T6SS effectors and cognate immunity proteins in genomes deposited in public databases.

Creating software tools that address the needs of a wide range of decision-makers requires the inclusion of differing perspectives throughout the development process. Software tools for biodiversity conservation often fall short in this regard, partly because broad decision-maker needs may exceed the toolkits of single research groups or even institutions. We show that participatory, collaborative codesign enhances the utility of software tools for better decision-making in biodiversity conservation planning, as demonstrated by our experiences developing a set of integrated tools in Colombia.

Background: Pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) is a major tropical fruit crop with considerable economic importance, and its growth and development are significantly impacted by low temperatures. The plant-specific GRAS gene family plays crucial roles in diverse processes, including flower and fruit development, as well as in stress responses.

Purpose: Gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction is common in critically ill patients and associated with poor outcomes. There is a lack of standardised methods for daily monitoring of GI function. COSMOGI aimed to develop a Core Outcome Set (COS) for daily monitoring of GI function to improve consistency and comparability in future studies in critically ill patients.
