Study about Oncogenic Human Papillomavirus in Breast Cancer: An Approach towards Molecular Prevalence in a Group of Congolese Patients | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 6

 Background: Several studies have revealed a possible link between the aetiology of breast cancer and viral infection since the Band's study in 1990. HPV infection is one of the cancer-causing viruses that has been related to breast cancer cases all over the world.

The goal of this study was to seek for HPV DNA in archival paraffin-embedded breast cancer cases at the University Hospital of Brazzaville, and to see if there was a link between viral HPV infections and clinicopathological characteristics.

Methods: Forty formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were retrospectively collected, with all available data being documented. HPV was detected and genotyped using real-time PCR using GeneXpert technology (Cepheid®, Sunnyvale, USA).

The average age of the participants was 51.1 11.4 years (range 22 - 75 years; median was 47). HPV DNA was identified in 6 (15%) of the breast cancer samples in total. HPV-16 was detected in 83.7 percent of all samples, making it the most frequent genotype. There was no statistically significant relationship between HPV transmission and clinicopathological characteristics (p>0.05). However, there was a statistically significant relationship between HPV infection and SBR grade (p=0.05).

Conclusion: In Congolese women with breast cancer, we discovered a high frequency of HPV-HR. To properly characterise the potential impact of HPV in the incidence of breast cancer in Congo, more case-control studies are needed.

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
