Aim: To improve the quality of anesthesia in school-age children by using intraoperative metabolic-mediated cerebroprotection to reduce the incidence of cognitive impairment after total intravenous anesthesia based on propofol.
Material And Methods: A randomized, prospective, longitudinal clinical study was conducted, involving 60 school-age children operated under total intravenous anesthesia on the basis of propofol. Children were randomized into two equal groups. Patients of the 1st group did not receive intraoperative metabolic-mediated cerebroprotection, patients of the 2nd group were treated with cytoflavin. For Z-assessment of changes in cognitive potential, neuropsychological testing of 30 children of the same age who were not subjected to surgical intervention was performed.
Results And Conclusion: On the 1st day of the postoperative period, 13.79% of patients of the 1st group had postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), on the 7th day, POCD was observed in 26.67% of children. In the 2nd group, POCD was detected in 6.67% and 3.33% of patients on the 1st and 7th day, respectively (p=0,009). The results confirm the efficacy of cytoflavin in intraoperative prevention of POCD in school-age children.

Background: Owing to the absence of specific symptoms in early-stage gastric cancer, most patients are diagnosed at intermediate or advanced stages. As a result, treatment often shifts from surgery to other therapies, with chemotherapy and targeted therapies being the primary options for advanced gastric cancer treatment.
Aim: To investigate both treatment efficacy and immune modulation.

Introduction: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic drug commonly used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Intravenous (IV) and topical TXA therapy have been extensively studied and shown to reduce blood loss, length of hospital stay, and blood transfusion rates following TKA. Despite the extensive literature regarding IV and topical TXA in orthopedics, there is a current dearth of studies analyzing oral usage.

Iron overload in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients represents a significant public health challenge due to its high mortality rate and risks of severe complications. Therefore, developing safe and effective therapeutic modalities for managing iron overload is critical, as current animal models inadequately replicate human conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intravenous iron dextran on hepatocyte morphology, liver iron concentration, and serum iron profile changes as a model for hemochromatosis.
