Clinical, ethnic and genetic risk factors associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing cancer surgery: a case-control study.

Objectives: To identify the clinical, ethnic, and genetic factors contributing to the varying risks of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) among a Brazilian population undergoing cancer surgery.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted involving 152 patients who experienced vomiting and/or retching (cases) and 158 patients who did not report nausea, vomiting, or retching (controls) within 24 h following oncological surgeries. This study is registered as 'Genetic Polymorphism and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)' under registration number NCT03627780 (https://clinicaltrials.

Comments on "Reflections on the Inclusion of Direct-Care Physicians as Educators in Community Hospitals".

We discuss the arguments exposed in the Letter to the Editor "Reflections on the Inclusion of Direct-Care Physicians as Educators in Community Hospitals", exploring the teaching competencies necessary for community preceptors in the context of medical education, highlighting the growing responsibility of these professionals in the training of future physicians in health-deprived regions. From a narrative review, we analyze faculty development (FD) programs, emphasizing their importance in improving teaching skills, creating support networks, and providing personalized content for specific challenges. Among the competence domains identified are teaching skills, evaluation criteria, professionalism, communication, and leadership/management.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Mayo High Performance Team Scale (MHPTS) into Brazilian Portuguese.

Objective: describe the process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Mayo High Performance Team Scale into Brazilian Portuguese.

Method: descriptive study of validation and cross-cultural adaptation of the scale, carried out virtually, following assumptions proposed by Beaton and collaborators. It had a sample of 40 experts, and carried out two rounds, one for validation and one for final assessment.

Construction and validation of a scenario for sedation training in the emergency room for pediatric surgical procedures by in-situ simulation.

Introduction: sedation and analgesia are fundamental procedures for children undergoing invasive interventions, and complications must be avoided during their implementation. In situ simulation allows, in turn, training in real practice environments to improve the technical and non-technical skills of professionals for such procedures. Although it is a very useful tool, it is often not used due to lack of preparation for its planning and application.

Tramadol wound infiltration is not different from intravenous tramadol in children: a randomized controlled trial.

Study Objective: The purpose of this trial was to assess if tramadol wound infiltration is superior to intravenous (IV) tramadol after minor surgical procedures in children because tramadol seems to have local anesthetic-like effect.

Design: Randomized double-blind controlled trial.

Setting: Postanesthesia care unit.

[Effect of intraoperative intravenous lidocaine on pain and plasma interleukin-6 in patients undergoing hysterectomy].

Background And Objectives: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a predictor of trauma severity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous lidocaine on pain severity and plasma IL-6 after hysterectomy.

Method: A prospective, randomized, comparative, double-blind study with 40 patients, aged 18-60 years.

Randomized evidence for reduction of perioperative mortality.

Objective: With more than 220 million major surgical procedures performed annually, perioperative interventions leading to even minor mortality reductions would save thousands of lives per year. This international consensus conference aimed to identify all nonsurgical interventions that increase or reduce perioperative mortality as suggested by randomized evidence.

Design And Setting: A web-based international consensus conference.
