The phenomenon of green urine discoloration, while rare, represents a captivating clinical puzzle that challenges the distinction between benign and pathological conditions. In this report, we present an intriguing case involving a 15-year-old trauma patient admitted following a motorcycle collision, where the ensuing unconsciousness necessitated propofol induction for intubation and sedation. Remarkably, around 48 hours post-admission, the patient displayed green urine discoloration, which resolved spontaneously within just 12 hours.

The rapid rise in propofol dependency and abuse has highlighted limited resources for addressing substance abuse-related cognitive impairment, prompting the development of novel therapies. Dysregulated autophagy flow accelerates neuronal cell death, and interventions countering this dysregulation offer an appealing strategy for neuronal protection. Curcumin, a potent natural polyphenol derived from turmeric rhizomes, is renowned for its robust antineurotoxic properties and enhanced cognitive function.

In this study, we aimed to elucidate the action mechanisms of propofol, particularly those underlying propofol-induced protein kinase C (PKC) translocation. Various PKCs fused with green fluorescent protein (PKC-GFP) or other GFP-fused proteins were expressed in HeLa cells, and their propofol-induced dynamics were observed using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Propofol-induced PKC activation in cells was estimated using the C kinase activity receptor (CKAR), an indicator of intracellular PKC activation.

Propofol is widely used for general anesthesia and sedation; however, the mechanisms of its anesthetic and adverse effects are not fully understood. We have previously shown that propofol activates protein kinase C (PKC) and induces its translocation in a subtype-specific manner. The purpose of this study was to identify the PKC domains involved in propofol-induced PKC translocation.

Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms have an increased tendency towards a fusiform morphology precluding primary clip reconstruction. The management of these complex aneurysms might require cerebral revascularization to preserve flow in a distal PICA territory. This video illustrates a case of a ruptured p2-PICA aneurysm excision followed by a PICA reanastomosis.
