Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.

Background: To evaluate the ganglion cell complex thickness in patients taking oral hydroxychloroquine.

Methods: In this hospital-based, cross-sectional, non-interventional, comparative study, 87 eyes of 87 patients taking hydroxychloroquine were recruited. All the patients underwent complete ophthalmological evaluation along with dilated fundus examination.

The ketogenic diet (KD), a high-fat, low-carbohydrate regimen, has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in various neurological models. This study explored how KD-alone or combined with antibiotic-induced gut microbiota depletion-affects cognition and neuroinflammation in aging. Thirty-two male rats (22 months old) were assigned to four groups (n = 8): control diet (CD), ketogenic diet (KD), antibiotics with control diet (AB), and antibiotics with KD (KDAB).

Background: Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) prior to laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is still under debate due to a lack of high evidence. Thus, the study at hand aimed to find out whether this medication lowers the rate of postoperative complications or not.

Methods: In 2020, a retrospective analysis took place at Helios Hospital Berlin Buch, Germany.

Decades of antibiotic misuse have spurred an antimicrobial resistance crisis, creating an urgent demand for alternative treatment options. Although phototherapy has therapeutic potential, the efficacy of the most advanced photosensitizers (PS) is essentially limited by aggregation-induced quenching, which significantly reduces their therapeutic effect. To address these challenges, we developed a cationic metallocovalent organic framework (CRuP-COF) via a solvent-mediated dual-reaction synthesis strategy.
