Background: The effects of dexmedetomidine on the circulatory system are complex. It is difficult to predict its effects on intrapulmonary shunts and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in patients with one-lung ventilation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on intrapulmonary shunt in patients with sevoflurane during one-lung ventilation.
Methods: Forty patients requiring thoracoscopic lobectomy were randomly divided into the dexmedetomidine group (Group D, n = 20) and the normal saline group (Group N, n = 20). The arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), pulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt), mean end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate were compared between the 2 groups at 3 time points: (i) after 5 minutes of two-lung ventilation (T0), (ii) after 30 minutes of one-lung ventilation (OLV) (T1), and (iii) after 45 minutes of OLV (T2). The dosage of sevoflurane from the beginning of OLV to T2 was calculated.
Results: There were no significant differences in age, body mass index, and FEV1/FVC between Groups D and N (P > .05). At T0, T1, and T2, the PaO2 levels of Group D and Group N were similar (P > .05), and the PaO2 levels of Group D and Group N decreased after OLV. The Qs/Qt level of Groups D and N were similar at T0 (P > .05), and the level of Groups D and N at T1 and T2 was higher than that at T0. The Qs/Qt of Group D was statistically significantly lower than that of Group N at T1 and T2 (P < .05).
Conclusion: Compared with the control group, we found that dexmedetomidine can reduce the intrapulmonary shunt fraction and improve the body's status during OLV.

Background: The optimal treatment of Osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) for subchondral bone cysts (SBCs) has not been finalized. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to define whether OLT with small SBCs will affect the clinical outcomes of OLTs after arthroscopic microfracture.
Methods: We searched the Embase, Cochrane Library and PubMed databases up to May 13, 2024 for eligible comparative studies.

Introduction: Self-esteem and vocal perception are central aspects of identity and self-presentation, particularly within marginalized communities where voice and self-concept can be deeply intertwined with social acceptance and cultural dynamics. Among Brazilian gay men, generational differences in these areas may reflect broader social changes, shifts in stigma, and evolving notions of masculinity. This study aims to explore these differences, examining how self-esteem and self-assessed vocal descriptions vary across generations, thereby shedding light on specific needs and areas for potential support within these communities.

Objective: Unidentified sex differences in old-age cognition may emerge in psychometric networks, which look beyond mean scores into the unique cognitive structure of males and females. Accordingly, this study aims to examine cognition in well-functioning older males and females with psychometric network analysis.
Methods: The current cohort (N = 2,802) of community-dwelling adults (≥65 years) was derived from the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study.

Background: There is a growing body of data to support the presence of sex disparities in outcomes of cardiovascular related hospitalizations. Despite this, there remains a paucity of data on relationships between sex and in-hospital outcomes in patients receiving a left atrial appendage occlusion device (LAAOD).
Methods: We examined the 2016-2020 Nationwide Readmission Database to identify patients with Atrial Fibrillation receiving a LAAOD.
