Background: There is no well-recognized guideline for intraoperative fluid management in bariatric surgery. Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) is a new concept of perioperative fluid management which was shown to improve patients' prognoses. Dynamic indicators may better predict fluid response compared to static indicators. In this study, we aimed to assess effects of administering GDFT protocol via Pleth Variability Index (PVI) in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery.
Methods: The study included 60 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic RYGB surgery. Subjects were randomized to two groups as being managed with either standard fluid regimen (control group) or PVI (PVI group) during intraoperative period. After induction of general anesthesia, control group received 500 ml crystalloid bolus followed by 4-8 ml/kg/h infusion. Fluid management of the control group was guided by central venous pressure and mean arterial pressure. PVI group received 500 ml crystalloid bolus followed by 2 ml/kg/h infusion. If PVI had been > 14%, 250 ml colloid was administered. Norepinephrine was given by infusion to keep mean arterial pressure > 65 mmHg, if needed. Perioperative lactate levels, hemodynamic parameters, and renal functions were recorded.
Results: In PVI group, volume of crystalloid and total fluid infusion during intraoperative period was significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05). The groups did not significantly differ in terms of lactate or creatinine levels before or after the surgery (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: There is no need to administer extra volume of fluid to obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Use of dynamic indicators like PVI helps to decrease intraoperative volume of infused fluids with no effects on either intraoperative or postoperative lactate levels in laparoscopic bariatric interventions.

Purposes: This meta-analysis aims to systematically analyze the efficacy of low-level red light (LRL) therapy for myopia control and prevention in children.
Methods: All the data were searched from the PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. The Cochrane Handbook was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies.

Study Objectives: Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in cancer survivors. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) can improve fatigue, but mechanisms are unclear. This secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial evaluated whether CBT-I led to a significant improvement in fatigue, accounting for change in comorbid symptoms of insomnia, perceived cognitive impairment (PCI), anxiety, and depression.

Introduction: Prior research shows that in-person exposure to electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use increases desire for cigarettes and ENDS. However, less is known about the impact of cues delivered during remote interactions. This study extends previous in-person cue work by leveraging a remote confederate-delivered cue-delivery paradigm to evaluate the impact of dual nicotine vaping (vs.

Male infertility is a common complication of diabetes. Diabetes leads to the decrease of zinc (Zn) content, which is a necessary trace element to maintain the normal structure and function of reproductive organs and spermatogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of metformin combined with zinc on testis and sperm in diabetic mice.

Introduction/objectives: Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory and difficult-to-treat autoimmune disease. Timosaponin AIII (TAIII), a plant-derived steroidal saponin, effectively inhibits cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. This study explored the mechanisms of action of TAIII in SS treatment by studying gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) using fecal metabolomics.
