Plasma currents of high energy are considered to be very promising in the surgical treatment of modern pathology. The scientists of this country have constructed a portable field surgery apparatus in which a heated atmospheric air assumes a form of a high-temperature thin jet used like a surgeon's scalpel. Experiments and clinical tests proved the efficacy of this microplasmotron that can destroy and coagulate body tissue when treating it with plasma. This new method has, besides hemostatic action, some noticeable antimicrobic effect that leads to acceleration of tissue granulation and wound healing. In specialized and skilled medicare this progressive and priority method should be applied for initial surgical wound treatment, secondary hemorrhage arrests and surgical interventions when a high risk of infection spreading is involved.

The objectives of this minireview are two-fold. The first is to discuss the evolution of opioid analgesia in perioperative medicine in the context of thoracic non-cardiac surgery. Current standard-of-care, aiming to optimize analgesia and limit undesirable side effects, is discussed in the context of multimodal analgesia, specifically enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery pathways.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in thoracic surgery: A game changer!

Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol

March 2024

From the Department of Anesthesiology, Yale School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, P.O. Box 208051, New Haven, CT, 06520-8051, USA. Electronic address:

The utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in complex thoracic surgery has become more frequent in recent years due to advances in technology, increased availability, and improved outcomes. ECMO has emerged as a vital tool to facilitate thoracic surgery for patients who would have otherwise been deemed unsuitable candidates. It has redefined the boundaries of surgical possibility where conventional methods fall short.

Therapies against hematological malignancies using chimeric antigen receptors (CAR)-T cells have shown great potential; however, therapeutic success in solid tumors has been constrained due to limited tumor trafficking and infiltration, as well as the scarcity of cancer-specific solid tumor antigens. Therefore, the enrichment of tumor-antigen specific CAR-T cells in the desired region is critical for improving therapy efficacy and reducing systemic on-target/off-tumor side effects. Here, we functionalized human CAR-T cells with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), making them magnetically controllable for site-directed targeting.

Trauma and burns are leading causes of death and significant global health concerns. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play a crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation, influencing various biological processes of cellular RNAs. This study aims to review the emerging trends and key areas of research on RBPs in the context of trauma and burns.

In recent years, tumors have emerged as a major global health threat. An increasing number of studies indicate that the production, development, metastasis, and elimination of tumor cells are closely related to the tumor microenvironment (TME). Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, particularly in large language models, have rapidly propelled research in the medical field.
