Objectives: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common symptoms after cesarean delivery (CD) that affect patients outcomes and satisfaction. The treatment of choice is still evolving, therefore, we aimed to evaluate PONV of combined paracetamol-dexamethasone vs. paracetamol alone.
Methods: This study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial on 100 patients undergoing cesarean delivery. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups of paracetamol or combined paracetamol-dexamethasone. Nausea and vomiting score, VAS score of pain, and chill were compared between the two groups.
Results: The result of this study found that mild nausea 2nd h after surgery in the combined group was lesser than paracetamol group (0.03). However, there was no statistically significant difference in nausea and vomiting score in other periods of time between the two groups. VAS score of pain decreased 12th and 6th h after the surgery in the combined and paracetamol group, respectively. Chilling occurred in two patients of combined group and four patients of paracetamol group (p=0.432).
Conclusions: Dexamethasone added to paracetamol might not improve pain and vomiting after cesarean delivery comparison with just paracetamol. But it can be effective for reducing the score of nausea after the surgery.

Introduction Preoperative fasting is essential in surgical care to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia. International guidelines, such as those from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA), recommend fasting durations of six hours for solids and two hours for clear liquids. However, adherence to these guidelines often varies in clinical practice, leading to prolonged fasting times that can negatively impact patient outcomes, including dehydration, hypoglycemia, discomfort, and delayed recovery.

Herein we performed a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) of severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy of 10,974 cases and 461,461 controls across European, Asian, African, and Latino ancestries. We identified ten significantly associated loci, of which six were novel ( , , , , , and and confirmed previous genome-wide significant associations with risk genes , , , and .

Department of Emergency Surgery, Qingdao Eighth People's Hospital, 266000 Qingdao, Shandong, China.
Background: Targeted therapies, including axitinib, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor, and sintilimab, a programmed cell death protein-1 inhibitor, have shown promise in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Although their individual efficacies have been demonstrated, the potential synergistic effects of combining these two agents are still being explored.
Methods: This study retrospectively analysed patients with advanced RCC admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023.
Efficacy and safety of ondansetron orally soluble pellicle for preventing moderate- to high-emetic risk chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Department of Radiotherapy, Hubei Cancer Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, No. 116 South Zuodaoquan Road, Wuhan, 430079, China.
Objective: Ondansetron orally soluble pellicle can serve as an alternative option for preventing nausea and vomiting in patients who receive chemotherapy. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence regarding ondansetron. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of ondansetron in patients with malignant tumours who received chemotherapy drugs with a moderate-to-high emetic risk.
