Distancing and then embracing constitutes a useful way of thinking about the paradox of aesthetic pleasure. However, the model does not account for live theatre. When live actors perform behaviors perceptually close to real life and possibly really experienced by the actors, audiences may experience autonomic reactions, with less distance, or may have to distance post-experiencing/embracing their emotions.

Ferroptosis and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) are both promising therapeutic modalities, but their clinical application remains challenging due to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and limited supply of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Developing an agent with oxygen-enhanced SDT and increased ferroptosis sensitivity is crucial for advancing tumor therapy. In this study, catalase (Cat) and Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) highly expressed 4T1 cells were constructed lentivirus transfection.

Management of operating theatre ambient temperature for major burn patients in a state-wide adult burns centre.

Burns

December 2024

Victorian Adults Burns Service, The Alfred, 55 Commercial Rd., Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia; Department of Surgery, Central Clinical School, Monash University, 99 Commercial Rd, Melbourne, Victoria 3004, Australia. Electronic address:

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of limiting increases in theatre ambient temperature to 27°C to prevent intraoperative patient hypothermia.

Methods: This single-centre, comparative cohort clinical study investigated the management of theatre ambient temperatures involving patients with ≥ 20 % TBSA burn injuries at Victorian Adult Burns Service (Melbourne, Australia). Data from the intervention group (August 2021 - February 2023, theatre ambient temperature increase limited to 27°C) was compared with a historical cohort (August 2019 - August 2021).

Micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) are an emerging type of contaminants that are widely present in the environments that people live in. MNPs can enter the human body in a variety of pathways, but the three main ones are through dietary intake, air inhalation, and skin contact. However, it has been discovered that medical plastics used in medical activities also pose potential risks to MNPs exposure as exposure pathways are continuously refined and clarified.

Article Synopsis
  • A study surveyed healthcare professionals in Scandinavian ICUs to understand their views on early rehabilitation practices, particularly focusing on how nurses and other staff facilitate functional and cognitive stimulation for patients.
  • Results showed that rehabilitation efforts start with ventilator weaning and sedation reduction, followed by physical mobilization, optimizing nutrition, and incorporating cognitive activities while balancing rest to prevent delirium.
  • The study concluded that successful rehabilitation is a dynamic process that requires collaboration among healthcare teams, support for the patient's motivation, and family involvement, progressing from passive to active involvement as patients recover.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the link between female reproductive factors—such as age at first birth (AFB), age at last birth (ALB), gravidity, and number of live births (NLB)—and the prevalence of depression among women in the U.S.
  • The analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2018), focusing on women aged 20 and older, with depression evaluated through specific questionnaires.
  • Results indicated that women who had their first child later tended to experience lower rates of depression, while those with five or more pregnancies had a significantly higher prevalence, suggesting that these reproductive factors play a key role in mental health outcomes.
