Background: There is conflicting information about the effect of vitamin C on brain oxygenation during anesthesia.
Objectives: The current study was designed and performed to assess the effect of vitamin C infusion and brain oxygenation with cerebral oximetry on improving brain perfusion during general anesthesia in vascular surgery of diabetic patients.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial was performed on patients candidates for endarterectomy under general anesthesia and referred to Taleghani Hospital in Tehran, Iran, during 2019 - 2020. Considering inclusion criteria, the patients were divided into placebo and intervention groups. The patients in the placebo group received 500 mL of isotonic saline. In the intervention group, the patients received 1 g of vitamin C diluted in 500 mL of isotonic saline by infusion half an hour before anesthesia induction. Patients' oxygen levels were continuously measured by a cerebral oximetry sensor. The patients were put in a supine position for 10 minutes before and after anesthesia. At the end of the surgery, the indicators considered in the study were evaluated.
Results: No considerable difference was observed between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, oxygen saturation, regional oxygen saturation, supercritical carbon dioxide, and end-tidal carbon dioxide in total and between the two groups in the three stages before and after anesthesia induction and at the end of surgery (P > 0.05). Additionally, there was no significant difference between blood sugar (BS) levels in the study groups (P > 0.05) but in BS levels at three stages before and after anesthesia induction and at the end of the surgery, with a significant difference (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The amount of perfusion in the two groups and, therefore, in total at the three stages before and after anesthesia induction and at the end of surgery is not different.

Background: The limited and detailed literature on total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), as well as the clinical indications for unilateral ovariectomy in llamas, are not well-defined. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the anesthetic events and the surgical intervention in this species.
Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the intraoperative physiological and clinical parameters in llamas undergoing unilateral ovariectomy, under three protocols of TIVA.
Evaluation of the Adequacy of Using the Supraglottic Airway Device (i-gel®) in Cases With Epiglottic Masses: A Mannequin Simulation Study.

Background: Epiglottic masses are often asymptomatic, making them difficult to detect during preoperative examinations. Consequently, anesthesiologists may face ventilation difficulties with no apparent cause. Epiglottic masses can sometimes obstruct laryngoscope insertion into the epiglottic vallecula, complicating general anesthesia induction.

We present an editorial on an article that highlights the benefits of dexmedetomidine (Dex) in colon cancer surgeries, which have been thoroughly investigated in the referenced publication involving 117 subjects. Of these patients, 59 (group A) received Dex before anesthesia induction, while 58 (group B) received normal saline. Group A patients demonstrated several advantages over Group B, including lower propofol and remifentanil requirements, improved cerebral oxygenation as measured by regional cerebral oxygen saturation, better hemodynamic stability, and reduced incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Background: Mice play a crucial role in studying the mechanisms of general anesthesia. However, identifying reliable EEG markers for different depths of anesthesia induced by multifarious agents remains a significant challenge. Spindle activity, typically observed during NREM sleep, reflects synchronized thalamocortical activity and is characterized by a frequency range of 7-15 Hz and a duration of 0.

Mothers encounter several challenges to sustain breastfeeding until the recommended 6 months of age. There is limited evidence on the impact of women's labor pain experiences upon cessation of breastfeeding. We aimed to investigate the association between women's labor pain experiences, intrapartum interventions, and pre-birth psychological vulnerabilities and cessation of breastfeeding.
