A facility with ultimate imaging technology was established to provide diagnostic care for the athletes during the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, two of the world's most prestigious sports events. The Imaging Center featured 3.0-T and 1.5-T wide-bore MRI scanners. High-end, wide-bore 3.0-T and 1.5-T MRI systems with dedicated coils provided high-quality imaging solutions, enabling diagnoses of even minor injuries with the utmost accuracy during the games. This article outlines the authors' experience using 3.0-T and 1.5-T wide-bore MRI during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, including the advantages and potential applications of this diagnostic method in sports medicine.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to assess if warmed intravenous (IV) fluids could help prevent hypothermia in anaesthetized calves during surgery, since results in other animals have been mixed.
  • Thirty calves were split into two groups, one receiving room temperature fluids and the other receiving warmed fluids, while various physiological measures were recorded during the procedure.
  • The results showed no significant differences in vital signs or recovery times between the two groups, indicating that warmed IV fluids alone are not effective in preventing hypothermia in calves during surgery.

Poor agricultural soil management practices and water use optimisation in irrigation are major challenges facing crop production in Senegal. To address these problems, a factorial experiment was conducted in 2021 and 2022 to investigate the effects of biochar on tomato growth and yield in sandy loam soil under different irrigation levels. Treatments included three biochar treatments (B2 = 30 t·ha, B1 = 15 t·ha, and B0 = 0 t·ha) and three irrigation levels (full irrigation, W0 = 8 L·m·day; medium deficit irrigation, W1 = 6 L·m·day which is 75% of W0; and deficit irrigation, W2 = 4 L·m·day, 50% of W0).

Purpose: To investigate and quantify the effect of continuous esketamine infusion at different doses on the bispectral index (BIS) during sevoflurane anesthesia.

Methods: A total of 120 patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic renal surgery were randomly divided into three groups. Under steady anesthesia and surgical situations, the patient was started on continuous infusion of the study drug: 0.

Background: According to the findings of several studies, sedatives and anaesthetics have different effects on the functioning of the cardiovascular system and intraocular pressure (IOP). For accurate diagnosis, treatment and surgery with minimal complications, it is necessary to be aware of the effects of sedatives and anaesthetics on the cardiovascular system and IOP.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sedatives (medetomidine and midazolam) and anaesthetics (ketamine, propofol and isoflurane) on IOP, heart rate (HR) and blood pressure in dogs.
