Do patients who receive dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery achieve longer block duration compared to those who receive spinal anesthesia with local anesthetic alone?
No full textProblem Statement: Cesarean delivery is associated with significant postoperative pain, typically managed with spinal anesthesia using a local anesthetic. While opioids are often added as adjuncts, the addition of dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 agonist, has emerged as a potential alternative that may enhance the efficacy of the spinal block in terms of pain management, potentially improving block duration and quality compared to local anesthetic alone.
Methodology: A literature review was conducted on the use of dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to spinal anesthesia for patients undergoing cesarean sections. Databases used for the search included PubMed, CINAHL Complete, and MEDLINE. The keywords used to search databases included: “intrathecal” or “spinal”, “dexmedetomidine”, “cesarean section”, and “duration”. Inclusion criteria were set for cesarean sections. Exclusion criteria were set for non-cesarean sections. Year limits were set for the period from 2015 to 2025. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used as the method for decision-making regarding article inclusion in this review.
Results : A total of 145 articles were initially identified through database searches using the specified search terms. After applying exclusion criteria, 130 articles were eliminated, leaving 15 for further review. Four articles were then excluded after abstract screening due to a lack of relevance. Three more articles were removed as duplicates. The article selection process adhered to PRISMA guidelines (Page et al., 2021) and is illustrated in Figure 1. Few studies specifically examined the intrathecal addition of dexmedetomidine, compared to local anesthetic alone, as an alternative to opioid-based adjuncts. A total of eight peer-reviewed articles met the criteria and were included in the final analysis. These studies evaluated the duration of spinal block for parturients undergoing cesarean sections. Table 1 provides a summary of the studies included in this project, along with their key findings. Although several articles reported outcomes beyond the scope of this project, only relevant data were extracted and analyzed for this study

Unusual wave morphologies in ulnar neuropathy with Marinacci anastomosis: a case report
No full textMarinacci anastomosis is a normal but rare anatomic variant of the median and ulnar nerves, consisting of an interconnection from the ulnar nerve to the median nerve within the proximal forearm. This is a case of Marinacci anastomosis occurring in the presence of both median and ulnar neuropathies, producing unusual waveform characteristics. Knowledge of normal anatomic variation can improve diagnostic accuracy in nerve conduction studies
Utilizing probiotics to reduce diet induced dysbiosis and inflammation in myelodysplastic syndromes susceptible mice
No full textHuman gut microbiota is helpful in digestion by helping in breaking complex carbohydrates, proteins, fats and fibers and many other physiological functions. The Western diet which is high in fat and carbo hydrate percentage alters gut microbiota and leads to growth of pathogenic bacteria and altered gut flora referred to as dysbiosis, which in turn cause gut inflammation and increased permeability of gut and it causes translocation of Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) which causes low grade systemic inflammation. Disturbance in gut microbiota correlated with metabolic conditions like obesity and leads to progression of hematologic diseases like Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of diverse bone marrow disorders in which bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells, the blood stem cells do not mature and get accumulated in bone marrow results in fewer than normal mature blood cells referred as cytopenia, which is hallmark of MDS. Moreover, approximately one third of MDS patients also develop AML due to acquisition of additional mutations in the defective hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells (HSPC). Studies have shown that probiotics helps in reducing gut inflammation and maintaining gut barrier. The goal of this study is to establish high fat diet induced effects on gut microbiome in mouse model and to elucidate how probiotics help in mitigating high fat diet induced gut inflammation and which in turn slow down the progression of hematologic malignancies like MDS
