Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) play a key role in the field of nanomedicine due to their fascinating plasmonic properties as well as their great biocompatibility. An intriguing application is the use of plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) mediated by anisotropic AuNPs irradiated with a near-infrared (NIR) laser for treating ocular diseases in ophthalmology. For this purpose, bipyramidal-shaped AuNPs (BipyAu), which were surface-functionalized with three different organic ligands (citrate, polystyrene sulphonate (PSS), and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)), were synthesized.

Purpose: Postoperative thirst is common and distressing to patients, as is pain and nausea. The causes of postoperative thirst are complex and include factors like preoperative fasting, perioperative fluid loss, and certain anesthesia medications. Effective care for postoperative thirst has been shown in post-anesthesia care units (PACUs), but many Japanese hospitals lack PACUs or do not address thirst in their PACUs.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the impact of unclassified renal cell carcinoma (uRCC) on clinical, pathological, and oncological outcomes compared with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Materials And Methods: We analyzed the data of 48 uRCC and 688 ccRCC cases, collected from a histopathological database at a single center from July 2011 to August 2019. uRCC cases were confirmed according to the 2016 World Health Organization classification.
