Abstract

Background
REBOA is a method used to manage bleeding during surgeries involving sacral and pelvic tumors. Nevertheless, there is a lack of studies regarding the use of REBOA in the elderly demographic.The aim of this research was to investigate the efficiency and security of Zone Ⅲ REBOA in performing sacral and pelvic tumor removal surgeries on patients aged more than 70 years.
Methods
Between 2020 and 2021, a prospective analysis using case-control methods was conducted. A group of patients, referred to as Group A, who were over the age of 70 years, were identified and then paired with a comparable group of patients, known as Group B, who were under the age of 60 years. Propensity score matching was used to match two groups in a 1:2 ratio based on sex, BMI, lesion site, preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), preoperative blood platelet count, and occlusion time. Continuous monitoring of physiological parameters was conducted, and blood samples were collected at consistent intervals.
Results
Out of the 188 individuals, a total of 51 patients (Group A: 34 patients; Group B: 17 patients) were successfully paired. By implementing REBOA, the average amount of blood lost was merely 1545 ml (SD, 1018; range, 200–4500), while the average duration of the entire operation was 211 minutes (SD, 87; range, 85–500). Additionally, the mean duration of occlusion was 66 minutes (SD, 26; range, 10–135). Experiments were conducted to compare group A and group B. No notable variations were observed in terms of demographics, systolic blood pressure (SBP), pH levels, lactate levels, blood creatinine levels, potassium levels, and calcium levels at the baseline. Additionally, during the deflation of the REBOA, the laboratory tests, which included pH, lactate potassium, calcium, and blood creatinine, showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) as well.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the findings of this research indicate that patients over the age of 70 years can achieve satisfactory hemodynamic and metabolic stability with Zone Ⅲ REBOA.

Rhizoremediation of organic emerging soil contaminants: green technology
Authors: Kumar Prasann , Latha Duppala Hema , Singh Joginder 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For a very long time there has been interest in creating in situ techniques for remediation of natural contaminants. Rhizoremediation, a specific type of phytoremediation that includes the two plants and their related rhizosphere microorganisms, can take place naturally or can be incited by intentionally presenting specific microorganisms. These microorganisms degrade contaminants and can also promote plant development under stress conditions. Currently, improvement is related to the rapid pace of urbanization and steady increase in population, which must be considered. These cycles lead to soil contamination, which is a result of dumping hazardous wastes into the environment. Any type of hazardous component such as radiation and sound or different resources like heavy metals or particulate substance can be termed a contaminant. Among several contaminants, natural contaminants attract more attention as they are highly water repellent and are highly toxic. Owing to these properties, the contaminants are capable of being embedded in the established environment for longer periods of time, which further increases their risk of causing damage to our environment. This study is focussed on the rhizoremediation process that can be used to clean up natural toxins from the soil.
Role of nanotechnology in environmental cleaning
Authors: Nayak Jayato , Chakrabortty Sankha 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Air, water, and soil pollution pose serious threats to ecosystem health and should be prioritized as a global issue of paramount importance. Emerging technologies such as ‘nanoremediation,’ which embraces the concept of nanotechnology through the development of nanoparticles (NPs), join established procedures such as thermal treatment, pump-and-treat, and chemical oxidation in the arsenal of remediation approaches. Nanoremediation is the process of using designed NPs to clean up polluted medium; it is more efficient and cost-effective than conventional approaches. Nanomaterials' unique properties such as their nanostructure and cost-effectiveness are the main factors of their growing popularity for use in environmental clean-up. NPs have excellent electrical characteristics, catalytic behavior, and sensitivity because of their large surface area to mass ratio. Remediation by NPs can primarily occur through catalysis and chemical reduction. Because of their high surface area, random distribution of active sites, and versatility in coating changes, NPs have also been used in adsorption-based removal processes. The ability of NPs to spread in tight places also increases their usefulness for cleaning up polluted water and soil. Water nanofiltration utilizes nanomaterial-based membranes because the membrane pores can trap substantial components in water waste streams. In addition, the membrane contact selectively separates the less abundant molecules. Metal oxides, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, and biopolymers are just a few of the nanomaterials used in water, soil, and air purification. Environmentally, NPs are useful for cleaning soil and water. Organic solvents, pesticides, metals, and fertilizers such as nitrates can all be dechlorinated, detoxified, and transformed by injecting it into the affected area. Besides carbon nanotubes and bimetallic NPs, there are other NPs that can be used to address these problems. Food processing, disinfectants, water purification, and even common household appliances all make use of NPs. The use of nanotechnology in pollution prevention, monitoring, and remediation has been gaining popularity.
Pharmaceutical Suspensions: An Updated Patent Review on Novel
Suspending Agents and Recent Advancement
Authors: Kumar Prince , Verma Madhu 
Published: November 2023

Abstract:
A wide variety of dosage forms are used for the oral administration of drugs to humans
and animals. Apart from solid dosage forms, it also includes liquid dosage forms, such as solutions,
suspensions, and emulsions. The selection is based on the physiochemical attributes of the therapeutically
active ingredient. Suspensions are classified as dispersed systems that are heterogeneous in
nature and consist of two phases. One phase is the continuous phase, the dispersion medium, or the
external phase, which is either liquid or semisolid; the other is a solid particle dispersed in the external
phase and called an internal or dispersed phase. They have several advantages over other dosage
forms, such as effectively delivering hydrophobic drugs, avoiding the need for cosolvents,
masking unpleasant tastes, and providing resistance to degradation and easy swallowing for young
or elderly patients. They also attain higher drug concentrations compared to solution forms. This
review article aims to study and explore the advantages, novel suspending agents, patent preference,
and innovations of pharmaceutical suspension. It was targeted to scrutinize the literature floating in
the internet domain regarding pharmaceutical suspension for delivery of drugs by oral route. The
literature survey is targeted at the novel herbal suspending agents used, their patents involved, and
innovations in the dosage form. Further, the study gives an insight into various aspects of suspension,
such as classification of suspension, theories of suspension, various components used in suspension
formulation, formulation aspect of suspension, evaluation parameters of suspension, patents,
innovations, and regulatory status.

Authors: Bhagavathula Akshaya Srikanth , Aldhaleei Wafa Ali , Atey Tesfay Mehari , Assefa Solomon , Tesfaye Wubshet 
Published: November 2023

Background
Suboptimal adherence to cardiac pharmacotherapy, recommended by the guidelines after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been recognized and is associated with adverse outcomes. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that eHealth technologies are useful in reducing cardiovascular risk factors. However, little is known about the effect of eHealth interventions on medication adherence in patients following ACS.

Objective
The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of the eHealth interventions on medication adherence to selected 5 cardioprotective medication classes in patients with ACS.

Methods
A systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted between May and October 2022, with an update in October 2023 to identify RCTs that evaluated the effectiveness of eHealth technologies, including texting, smartphone apps, or web-based apps, to improve medication adherence in patients after ACS. The risk of bias was evaluated using the modified Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for RCTs. A pooled meta-analysis was performed using a fixed-effect Mantel-Haenszel model and assessed the medication adherence to the medications of statins, aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, and β-blockers.

Results
We identified 5 RCTs, applicable to 4100 participants (2093 intervention vs 2007 control), for inclusion in the meta-analysis. In patients who recently had an ACS, compared to the control group, the use of eHealth intervention was not associated with improved adherence to statins at different time points (risk difference [RD] –0.01, 95% CI –0.03 to 0.03 at 6 months and RD –0.02, 95% CI –0.05 to 0.02 at 12 months), P2Y12 inhibitors (RD –0.01, 95% CI –0.04 to 0.02 and RD –0.01, 95% CI –0.03 to 0.02), aspirin (RD 0.00, 95% CI –0.06 to 0.07 and RD –0.00, 95% CI –0.07 to 0.06), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (RD –0.01, 95% CI –0.04 to 0.02 and RD 0.01, 95% CI –0.04 to 0.05), and β-blockers (RD 0.00, 95% CI –0.03 to 0.03 and RD –0.01, 95% CI –0.05 to 0.03). The intervention was also not associated with improved adherence irrespective of the adherence assessment method used (self-report or objective).

Conclusions
This review identified limited evidence on the effectiveness of eHealth interventions on adherence to guideline-recommended medications after ACS. While the pooled analyses suggested a lack of effectiveness of such interventions on adherence improvement, further studies are warranted to better understand the role of different eHealth approaches in the post-ACS context.

A hegemonia na mesa de negociação permanente do Sistema Único de Saúde: uma análise a partir dos pressupostos de Gramsci
Authors: Coelho Maria Carlota de Rezende , Trugilho Silvia Moreira 
Published: November 2023

As contribuições da teoria política de Gramsci se aplicam ao debate do movimento contemporâneo dos trabalhadores da saúde, no bojo da Mesa de Negociação Permanente do Sistema Único de Saúde, institucionalizada como espaço de exercício da democracia nas relações de trabalho na área da saúde. As fontes utilizadas são Regimento de regulamentação da Mesa Nacional, os Cadernos do Cárcere, de Antônio Gramsci, e obras de autores contemporâneos que fazem releitura dos escritos deste pensador. O texto dialoga com o conceito de hegemonia em si, a compreensão dos agentes de hegemonia na Mesa, os sindicatos e partidos enquanto estruturas sociais e a correlação de forças entre governo e trabalhadores na mesa de negociação. Conclui-se que a Mesa, enquanto espaço das relações de trabalho entre governo e classe trabalhadora, é uma das formas de explorar aspectos relevantes das relações de poder que, se compreendidas dialeticamente, abrem espaço para avanços numa perspectiva democrática, como nos ensina Gramsci.
