Mass Spectrometry Techniques ESI and MALDI in Characterization of Colchicine and Colchiceine Complexes | Chapter 02 | New Advances in Materials Science and Engineering Vol. 1

Complexes are biologically useful compounds and they have many biological activities. Many different inorganic and organic compounds can form stable complexes. Complexes of organic compounds, in which ligands are biologically active part, for example alkaloids, are especially interesting for researchers. Alkaloids: Colchicine and colchiceine can form stable complexes with alkali metals. A series of complexes of both alkaloids have been obtained and studied by ESI MS, MALDI MS, 1H and 13C NMR, FT IR, DFT and PM5/PM7 calculations and molecular modelling. These complexes also have been tested against fungicidal and cytotoxic activity. The colchicine complexes with Li+, Na+, K+ cations of different salts have been studied in details by MALDI and ESI mass spectra. In the ESI MS mass spectra has been shown that colchicine forms stable complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry with monovalent and divalent metal cations. Also formation of complexes of various stoichiometry has been detected. Colchicine complexes have not been characterised by modern mass spectra methods such as MALDI MS. The aim of this study was to summarize ESI MS study on colchicine and colchiceine complexes and check fragmentation pathways of colchicine complexes with alkali metals by MALDI MS mass spectra.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Patients’ Perspective of Acute Post-operative Pain Management: A Multicentre Survey of Tertiary Hospitals in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 When postoperative pain is adequately controlled, patients' satisfaction and patient-related outcomes (PROs) increase. Understanding the patients' perspective is crucial since it supports in the formulation of improvement strategies. Because wrong attitudes and assumptions might block pain alleviation, patients' attitudes and beliefs are critical. As a result, a multicenter study of patients' attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and satisfaction levels with acute postoperative pain management was done in Maharashtra's tertiary hospitals. In addition, the responses were examined to evaluate if the Acute Pain Service (APS) resulted in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. A 13-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies was used to capture patients' experiences with postoperative pain treatment. The responses of 179 patients are included in the study. The findings revealed that 91.6 percent of patients experienced postoperative pain, with 75.5 percent
