Unlabelled: The main treatment for most types of malignant tumors is their surgical removal. During the past years there has been a growing interest in the anesthesia effects on long-term surgery results in connection with cancer. Modern clinical and laboratory data indicate that the anesthetic technique may play a role in tumor dissemination and recurrence. The purpose of this study is to review the available literature data on the anesthetic techniques applied in oncology surgery, long-term consequences of anesthesia/analgesia and their relation to tumor progression.
Material And Methods: We have reviewed the specialized medical literature and have analyzed the effects of anesthesia/analgesia on long-term results of surgical treatment--incidence of local recurrence, metastases and patients' survival.
Results: The hypothesis about the influence of the anesthesia type on long-term results after cancer surgery is generated. The use of anesthetics and analgesics with low potential for immunosuppression may reduce the relapse. This is a useful approach for patients with cancer.
In Conclusion: Further randomized controlled trials are required for extensive research of this problem.

Introduction: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is considered the second most common chronic health condition in children. Untreated SDB is associated with long-term health consequences. Our objective was to translate the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) into Lithuanian and culturally adapt and validate the translated version in order to improve the diagnosis of SDB in Lithuanian children.

Ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂), a toxic alcohol commonly found in automotive antifreeze, de-icing solutions, and industrial coolants, can cause severe toxicity when ingested. Due to its sweet taste, it is often consumed accidentally or intentionally, leading to life-threatening consequences such as metabolic acidosis, acute kidney injury (AKI), and mortality. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment with antidotes such as fomepizole or ethanol, combined with hemodialysis, are essential in preventing severe outcomes.

Objective: Even though the COVID-19 emergency has concluded, its consequences are still relevant. Recent evidence suggests that a significant proportion of individuals experience persistent symptoms long after the initial infection has resolved, classified as "Long COVID" condition. Fear of COVID-19 increases anxiety and stress levels in healthy individuals and exacerbates the symptoms of those with pre-existing psychiatric disorders; therefore understanding the impact of the pandemic on psychiatric disorders remains of utmost importance.
