The Prevalence of Advance Directives and Its Moderators Among Community People, Acutely and Chronically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Inquiry: The Journal of Health Care Organization, Provision, and Financing
Advance Directives (ADs) are essential in end-of-life care, enabling individuals to retain autonomy when they can no longer make decisions. However, data on ADs prevalence and influencing factors in different populations (acutely ill, chronically ill ...

Rapid quantification and validation of etomidate and dexmedetomidine blood concentrations in rats using a novel portable mass spectrometer

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
In clinical anesthesia, precise dosing depends on feedback from blood drug concentrations. However, rapid tools for measuring these concentrations are currently limited.

Fast glycorrhachia and cerebrospinal fluid protein as predictors of sensory block in anesthesia with subarachnoid Ropivacaine [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Identify if glycorrhachia and cerebrospinal fluid protein could influence the time of sensory block to T10, the duration and the metameric block's level, after a standard dose of Ropivacaine. METHODS: 80 patients, ASA I - III undergoing to

Keratin 19 as a prognostic marker and contributing factor of metastasis and chemoresistance in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

From target specificity to metabolic efficiency: Design and optimization of etomidate analogues for potential improvement in postoperative outcomes

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B
While transient perioperative side effects of intravenous anesthetics are often tolerated, the persistent postoperative sequelae resulting from drug accumulation pose a critical threat to patient safety.

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.

Risk Prediction Models for Recurrence After Curative Treatment of Early‐Stage or Locally Advanced Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This systematic review synthesizes prognostic models for survival and recurrence in resected non‐small cell lung cancer. While many models demonstrate moderate to good discrimination, few are externally validated and reporting quality is variable, limiting clinical applicability and highlighting the need for robust, transparent model development ...

miRNAs-neutrophil axis: novel insights into acute lung injury and chronic inflammatory lung diseases

Frontiers in Immunology
Acute lung injury (ALI) and chronic inflammatory lung disorders constitute significant clinical burdens with high morbidity and mortality. Neutrophils are commonly found in lung diseases and serve as pivotal effector cells governing pulmonary ...
