Abstract
A tunnel junction using graphene in quantum Hall states (QHS) recently demonstrated the tunneling photo-thermoelectric effect (TPTE), generating a photovoltage under mid-infrared irradiation. Here, we investigate TPTE in a bilayer graphene (BLG)/6-layer MoS2/monolayer graphene (MLG) tunnel junction. The MoS2 layer facilitated the tuning of the resistance-area product RA of the tunnel junction with the gate voltage, which was challenging with the previously used h-BN barrier. The photovoltage responsivity R
v due to TPTE increased with increasing RA, and achieved a maximum responsivity R
v of 2.5 × 106 V W−1 at T = 2 K, which was substantially higher than earlier reports. In a device exhibiting high R
v and RA, TPTE voltage was generated when the MLG was in the QHS, in contrast to the low R
v and RA device, where TPTE voltage appeared at the boundary between the QHS and non-QHS. These findings provide insights into the TPTE effect for exploring the mid-infrared properties of 2D materials.

Introduction: Evaluating the success rate of regional anesthesia is performed with pinprick test, Bromage score and pain scales, where they act as indicators of success or otherwise of motor, sensory and nociceptive blockade. The sympathetic system is also affected by the regional anesthesia blockade. The present study evaluated the relationship of peripheral venous dilatation and the skin temperature of the block area, to be used as an additional tool.
Methodology: An analytic, observational study was conducted in Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital. 18 patients received peripheral nerve block (PNB) and 16 patients received subarachnoid block (SAB). Informed consent was obtained from all the participants. The peripheral venous circumference was measured by using linear probe of Sonosite® M–Turbo ultrasound, before the blocks and then one hour after PNB and SAB to assess the venous dilatation. The peripheral skin temperature was measured with a thermometer (Microlife NC-150 Bluetooth®) infrared thermometer before the blocks, and within the range of 5 min from the zero min after the block until the 30th min. The success rate of the blocks was performed with pain scale (VAS) and absence of motor, sensory and nociceptive response
Results: No relationship was found of sex, age, weight and type of block with increased peripheral venous circumference and peripheral skin temperature (p > 0.05). The block's success was associated with the increased peripheral venous circumference and peripheral skin temperature (p ≤ 0.001) in both PNB and SAB blocks. The average PNB block succeeded in 20 min while SAB took only 5 min (p < 0.05) to affect both of the parameters. The delta value of the increased temperature's successful block was 0.7oC in the PNB, and 0.275oC in the SAB group.
Conclusions: The success of the peripheral nerve block and the subarachnoid block is associated with an increase in the peripheral venous circumference and in the peripheral skin temperature in the block area.

Feasibility of segmental thoracic epidural anesthesia in cancer patients undergoing feeding jejunostomy: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Elsabeeny Walaa Y. , Elsamahy Khaled , Elazab Abdalla M. , Ibrahim Mostafa A. 
Published: October 2024

Background: Malnourishment is very common in cancer patients secondary to the disease progression as well as the adverse effects of the treatment. Patients with gastroesophageal cancers and head and neck tumors are more prone to malnourishment. The enteral nutrition is the route of choice for nutritional support. Feeding jejunostomy is one of the routes used for long-term enteral nutrition. We compared the analgesia produced and the need of analgesics with the use of segmental thoracic epidural anesthesia (STEA) and general anesthesia (GA) for feeding jejunostomy.
Methodology: A total of 43 cancer patients scheduled for surgical feeding jejunostomy were enrolled and randomized into two groups; segmental thoracic epidural anesthesia group (Group STEA) (n = 21) and general anesthesia group (Group GA) (n = 22). The primary outcome was percentage of patients requiring rescue analgesia intraoperatively. Secondary outcome measures included hemodynamics, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, time to receive the first postoperative analgesic, total morphine consumption and any possible side effects or complications. Data were handled by SPSS v.25 (IBM©, Chicago, IL, USA). Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and analysed by unpaired student t-test, or median (range) and analysed using Mann Whitney-test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Significantly higher percentage of patients in the Group GA required intraoperative rescue fentanyl (59%) and postoperative morphine consumption (100%) compared to the Group STEA. Patients in GA group had higher heart rate (HR) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) values. Group SETA showed lower VAS scores in post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and throughout the first 24 hours postoperatively. The Group STEA had significantly higher patient satisfaction scores (PSS) and showed earlier ambulation.
Conclusions: Segmental thoracic epidural anesthesia has a better analgesic profile and can be used as a safe and effective alternative to general anesthesia in cancer patients undergoing surgical feeding jejunostomy.

Demographics and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of lower respiratory tract infections in intensive care unit of a teaching hospital in South India
Authors: Cherukuri Bharath 
Published: October 2024

Aim: We aimed to study the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of lower respiratory tract infections over a six–month period in the medical and surgical intensive care units at NRI Academy of Medical Sciences, in the Southern Region of India.
Methodology: This was a retrospective study conducted from June 2019 to December 2019. The study included all patients of either gender, aged above 18 y, admitted in the medical and surgical intensive care units for whom specimens for culture were positive for lower respiratory tract infections. The data was compared for the location, type, number of isolates and their antibiotic susceptibility. The data was analyzed using the
Medcalc™ software.
Results: A total of 114 patients were included in the study, out of which 78 (68.4%) were males. The maximum patients were above 60 y (29.8%). Gram–negative pathogens accounted for majority of the isolates (89%). The bacteria were isolated predominantly from the tracheal aspirate (86.8%). Out of all the isolated organisms, Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 34; 29.8%), pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 29; 25.4%) and Klebsiella (n = 27; 23.7%) were the most common gram–negative isolates, whereas in the gram–positive isolates, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus were equally isolated (n = 4; 3.5%). A. baumannii was most susceptible to colistin (97.1%) followed by minocycline (70.6%) and amikacin (64.7%). Whereas, with P. aeruginosa, it was observed that only around half of the isolates were susceptible to doripenem (51.7%) and it was also observed that most of the isolates were resistant to all the commonly used antibiotics.
Conclusion: This current study provides useful information regarding the causative organisms of lower respiratory tract infections occurring in the intensive care units and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Gram–negative pathogens were predominantly responsible for lower respiratory tract infections. Moreover, antimicrobial resistance rate was high with the most commonly used antibiotics and also to higher antibiotics such as carbapenems.

Authors: Guner Necip Gokhan , Durmus Ensar , Guneysu Fatih , Aslan Nuray , Yurumez Yusuf 
Published: October 2024

Objective: This study examined COVID–19 Reporting and Data System (CO–RADS) scores, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) positivity, and COVID–19 vaccination status of COVID–19 patients who reported to the emergency room (ER). Thus, it aimed to present how much effective the vaccines were.
Methodology: It was a cross–sectional, retrospective, descriptive research, covering the period between June 08, 2021 to August 08, 2021. The study was conducted at Sakarya University Teaching & Research Hospital, Sakarya. Institutional ethical review committee certificate was not required as it was a retrospective study.
Results: One hundred four cases were included in the study, of which 61 (58.7%) were male, and 43 (41.3%) were female. Of the patients, 35 (33.6%) had no COVID–19 vaccination, 46 (44.2%) had two–doses CoronaVac, one (1%) had two–doses BNT162b2. Out of 104 patients, 12 had a CO–RADS–3 score, 17 had a CO–RADS–4 score, and 60 patients had a CO–RADS–5 score. No significant difference was recognized between unvaccinated cases and vaccinated patients with two CoronaVac doses in terms of hospitalization, RT–PCR positivity and mortality (respectively: x2 = 0.176, SD = 1, p = 0.675; x2 = 0.025, SD = 1 , p = 0.874; x2 = 0.830, SD = 1, p = 0.362). Two doses CoronaVac vaccinated patients' length of stay in the hospital was determined to be more succinct than cases who had never been inoculated (U = 596.500, p = 0.045, z = 2.003, r = –0.22).
Conclusion: Prolonged time after CoronaVac vaccination may reduce the vaccine's protection against COVID–19 pneumonia. The protection of two doses of BNT162b2 against COVID–19 pneumonia presents promise in the fight against the pandemic. Those inoculated with at least two doses of CoronaVac or BNT162b2 had a shorter hospital stay than those not vaccinated. RT–PCR positivity may continue to be observed in vaccinated patients.

Published: October 2024

We describe a case of 62 y old obese lady, with undiagnosed hypertrophic mucosa and severe edema of the arytenoid cartilages. This swollen mucosal fold got pushed into the laryngeal inlet after insertion of laryngeal mask airway (LMA), causing complete airway obstruction and eventually a ‘can’t intubate, can’t ventilate’ (CICV) crisis situation. We describe how we did succeed to restore patient’s ventilation, in a CICV scenario with an unconventional way using chest compression avoiding the use of ultimate surgical airway. This is the first reported case of a chest compression maneuver being used as a rescue technique in a CICV scenario.

Published: October 2024

Clinical case of an 84-year-old female patient who developed a complete heart block a few minutes after anesthetic induction associated with hemodynamic instability, nonresponsive to vagolytic and adrenergic medication. Transcutaneous pacing was started with hemodynamic improvement. After the event, a decompensated metabolic acidosis was detected which was promptly corrected, leading to a normalization of the heart rhythm. Metabolic acidosis is a described but uncommon cause of atrioventricular block. The authors are not aware of previous report of complete heart block in this context. We would like to draw attention to the importance of choosing carefully which anesthetic drugs should be used in these cases.

Published: October 2024

Background & Objective: Ultrasound-guided 4-in-1 block has been suggested as a good alternative to various other nerve blocks to control pain after total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. We compared the three regional techniques; 4-in-1 block, femoral nerve block (FNB) and adductor canal block (ACB) following TKR regarding pain scores, opioid consumption, quadriceps muscle strength and early ambulation.
Methodology: We enrolled 93 patients and divided them into three equal groups of 31 each. Patients received either 4-in-1 block (Group A), FNB (Group B) or ACB (Group C) under ultrasound guidance. Outcome measures included assessment of VAS scores at 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 h). Nalbuphine consumption was calculated in the first 24 h. We also evaluated quadriceps muscle strength and early ambulation using straight leg raising (SLR) test at 12 and 24 h, and timed up-and-go (TUG) test at 24 h postoperatively.
Results: Patients received 4-in-1 block showed lower pain scores and lower nalbuphine consumption compared to FNB or ACB. Also, the SLR test values at 12h were higher (p-value<0.001), and TUG test values were lower (p-value0.005) in 4-in-1 block and ACB groups compared to FNB group.
Conclusion: The results of our study conclude that 4-in-1 block was found to be superior in pain control after TKR surgeries compared to FNB or ACB alone. It also facilitates early ambulation as it preserves quadriceps muscle strength.

Authors: Sadaf Sairah , Mussrat Ranna , Bashir Babar 
Published: October 2024

Background & Objective: In most of the countries, the intensive care, airway management, and emergency resuscitation teams are largely constituted of the anesthetists, laying a great deal of physical, mental, and emotional pressure on them. In the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, the anesthetists have been on the fore-front. We compared the level of anxiety, depression, and stress among healthcare workers (HCWs) of COVID-19 ICU and non-COVID ICUs in the tertiary care hospitals of south Punjab.
Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study that included DASS-21 and GHQ-12 online questionnaires.
Results: Out of 100 participants, 31% were in the COVID ICU group and 69% in the non-COVID ICU group. Females were 54% of the total. 55% of the participants were below 30 y of age, 77% were married, and 48% were post-graduates. Overall 50% of HCWs had a probable psychological illness, while 25% had anxiety, 21% depression and 12% had stress. Anxiety, depression, and stress were more in COVID ICU group as compared to the non-COVID group [(35% vs. 20%), (32% vs. 16%) and (31% vs. 3%) respectively].
Conclusion: Coronavirus pandemic has affected the mental health of healthcare workers. Those working in COVID ICUs are more prone to develop psychological distress than non-COVID ICU healthcare workers.
