Studies on the effects of Posterior Amputation on the Cerebral Neurosecretory Cells of Indian Earthworm, Lampito mauritii (Kinberg) | Chapter 16 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 11

Because earthworms are vulnerable to predator assaults and agricultural activities, nature has endowed them with the ability to regenerate destroyed body segments. In the lack of a defined nonneural endocrine gland, the cerebral neurosecretory system is likely to play a key role in wound healing and body segment regeneration.

The purpose of this research is to look at the cytomorphological changes in the cerebral neurosecretory cells after amputation in the topsoil Indian earthworm Lampito mauritii.

Dissected cerebral ganglia were fixed in Bouin's solution and processed for traditional neurosecretory staining techniques: Paraldehyde Fuchsin (AF) and Chrome Alum Haematoxylin Phloxin after posterior amputation of the earthworm with a paragon knife (CAHP).

Following transection of 10 posteriormost body segments, a wave of muscle contraction was observed along the anteroposterior direction of Lampito mauritii's body.

Following posterior amputation of body segments, cerebral neurosecretory cells (especially the AF+ve A cells) showed changes in secretory dynamics, in contrast to control. Due to the depletion of neurosecretory resources, the number of AF+ve A cells decreased during wound healing after 24 hours. The formation of regeneration blastema was followed by an increase in the number of AF+ve strongly pigmented A neurosecretory cells 48 to 72 hours after amputation. Coarse secretory granules were also seen in the moderately stained B cells. After 48 to 72 hours following amputation, axonal transport and a ‘zone of accumulation' charged with AF+ve neurosecretion were also seen.

Conclusion: In the earthworm Lampito mauritii, cerebral neurosecretory cells are involved in wound healing and subsequent regeneration, according to our preliminary findings.

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
