Background: The supraglottic airway device (SGD) was introduced as a breakthrough in airway management. The Fastrach emerged as the first commercially available intubating SGD, drawing extensive investigation. I-gel is a more recent device that has gained popularity, can be used as an intubating SGD, and replaced Fastrach in many institutions.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to intra-articular (IA) injections of local anesthetics (LA) in adult patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing IA dexmedetomidine plus LA versus LA alone for knee arthroscopy in adults. We used the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model for all outcomes and conducted a sensitivity analysis with the leave-one-out method, as well as a subgroup analysis for the type of LA.

Introduction: Drug scheduling in older adults can be a challenge, especially considering polypharmacy, physical dependency, and possible drug interactions. Properly testing alternative treatment regimens could therefore help to overcome treatment barriers. Hypothyroidism is a prevalent condition in older adults, however, studies evaluating L-thyroxine treatment effectiveness in this specific age group are still lacking.

Background: We defined the methodological criteria for the interpretation of the results provided by a novel immunoassay based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to detect antibodies anti-Trypanosoma cruzi in human sera (SPRCruzi). Then, we evaluated its applicability as a diagnostic tool for Chagas disease.
Methods: To define the cut-off point and serum dilution factor, 57 samples were analyzed at SPRCruzi and the obtained values of SPR angle displacement (ΔθSPR) were submitted to statistical analysis.
