GSK3β: The possible molecular target within the cytokinemodulating effect of exogenous insulin shots in a murine label of malarial disease.
Perioperative shivering (POS) is a common complication in patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia. The present study investigated the efficacy of 5-HT
receptor antagonists in preventing POS following spinal anaesthesia.

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Pubmed, Embase, the Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched from database establishment on 31 July 2019.

Randomised controlled trials that reported the effects of 5-HT
receptor antagonists in the prevention of POS in patients after spinal anaesthesia.

Two reviewers independently extracted data. The primary outcome of the present study was the incidence of POS. The risk of bias for the included studies was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook. The quality of primary outcome was evaluated by Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. FR 180204 inhibitor Trial sequential analysis for the primary outcome was performed to reduce the type 1 error caused by repeated meta-analysis and the required information size was calculated.

To investigate the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) case finding on clinical care.

We conducted a prospective observational analysis of data from a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial in primary care in the West Midlands, UK (TargetCOPD). This compared alternative methods of COPD case finding against usual care. Data were extracted from electronic healthcare records and self-reported questionnaires for a subset of patients with newly diagnosed COPD.

50 general practices that participated in the TargetCOPD trial.

Patients aged 40-79 years newly identified with COPD by targeted case finding or by usual care, from 10 August 2012 to 22 June 2014.

The primary outcome was addition to a COPD register by the end of the trial. The secondary outcome was a clinical care score, derived from the sum of clinical assessments and relevant interventions. Associations between participant characteristics and the primary and secondary outcomes were assessed using multilevel regression.

857 patients identified with COPD by case finding and 764 by usual care were included. Only 21.2% of case-found patients had been added to a COPD register, compared with 92.7% of those diagnosed by usual care. The odds of being added were greater in smokers (adjusted OR 8.68, 95% CI 2.53 to 29.8), and in those with lower percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (adjusted OR 0.96 per percentage rise, 95% CI 0.95 to 0.98). Patients who had been added to a COPD register had a significantly higher clinical care score (mean difference 5.06, 95% CI 4.36 to 5.75).

Only one in five case-found patients had been registered with COPD. Patients added to a COPD register received significantly higher levels of appropriate clinical care.

As a prevalent psychiatric disease, depression is a life-threatening mental disorder that may cause work disability and premature death. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation procedure, which has been reported to have a significant effect on antidepressant treatment in recent years. However, the parameters of TMS for depression that can produce the best clinical benefits remain unknown. In the present study, we will evaluate the effect of TMS treatment for depression from the perspective of functional neuroimaging by performing a meta-analysis based on included studies.

Two independent reviewers will search published studies in the following five databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and WANGFANG DATA from inception to 1 June 2020. Then we will select studies according to predesigned inclusion and exclusion criteria. After extracting data from included studies, activation likelihood estimation will be applied to data synthesis. Any disagreement will be checked by the third reviewer who will also make the final decision.

This work does not require ethics approval as it will be based on published studies. This review will be published in peer-reviewed journals.

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is typically conducted in steep Trendelenburg position (STP). This study investigated the influence of permanent 45° STP and capnoperitoneum on haemodynamic parameters during and after RALP.

Prospective observational study.

Haemodynamic changes were recorded with transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis in men undergoing RALP under standardised anaesthesia.

Informed consent was obtained from 51 patients scheduled for elective RALP in a University Medical Centre in Germany.

Heart rate, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure (CVP), Cardiac Index (CI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), Global End-Diastolic Volume Index (GEDI), global ejection fraction (GEF), Cardiac Power Index (CPI) and stroke volume variation (SVV) were recorded at six time points 20 min after induction of anaesthesia (T1), after insufflation of capnoperitoneum in supine position (T2), after 30 min in STP (T3), when controlling Santorini's plexus in STP (T4tients undergoing RALP.
RALP led to pronounced perioperative haemodynamic changes. The combination of increased cardiac contractility and heart rate reflects a hyperdynamic situation during and after RALP. Anaesthesiologists should be aware of unnoticed pre-existing heart failure to worsen during STP in patients undergoing RALP.
To evaluate the feasibility of a digital and continuous collection and reporting of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) for chronic heart failure (CHF).

A single-site pilot study was settled for evaluating the feasibility of the intervention, both using qualitative and quantitative data (ie, workshop, surveys).

The pilot has been implemented in a Tuscan specialised hospital (Italy).

162 patients were involved. Inclusion criteria were a previous diagnosis of HF, age ≥18 years, absence of cognitive impairment or active tumours, ability to provide informed consent to study participation.

The continuous collection and reporting of PROMs and PREMs has been designed and implemented in 2018. PREMs questionnaires for patients were developed, while Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-12 was used for assessing PROMs. Questionnaires are administered at specific time points discharge; 30 days, 7 and 12 months after the discharge. Enrolment of patients, administration and real-time reporting of questionnaires are carried on through a digital platform.
