A Case Series of Congenital Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia with New Associations and Literature Review | Chapter 14 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 6

 During a seven-year span, we report six cases of autopsy-proven (unrestricted) ACD-MPV from a single institution (January 2007 to January 2013). Congenital Alveolar capillary dysplasia with pulmonary vein misalignment (ACD-MPV) is a rare and fatal cause of infant respiratory failure and severe hypoxia caused by chronic pulmonary hypertension (PPHN). All typical medical treatments, including as high-frequency ventilation (HFV), inspired nitric oxide (iNO), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), are ineffective (ECMO). It is caused by a heterozygous mutation in the FOXF1 gene on chromosome 16q24, according to the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM). A new study suggests that two more genes, ESRP1 and PLXNB2, can cause (ESRP1) or modify (PLXNB2) the ACDMPV phenotype. The majority of ACD-MPV cases had several non-lethal congenital abnormalities. Pediatric pathologists from two different university hospitals read and confirmed the pathology slides. An relationship with previously undescribed congenital abnormalities and a sibling with congenital alveolar dysplasia without capillary dysplasia are among the novel results. All of the patients presented with severe hypoxemia with PPHN verified by an echocardiography (Echo). After the newborns have been subjected to a high level of intensive care, the vast majority of ACDMPV cases are still diagnosed by autopsy. When ECMO fails, ACD-MPV should be investigated as a diagnostic option.

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
