Optimizing Anesthesia for Major Surgery: The Role of Sequential Combined Spinal-Epidural Technique
Abstract: The Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) approach has been widely employed over the last decade because it achieves rapid onset and substantial blockage while also allowing for the modification or prolongation of the block. Background: Sequential spinal-epidural anesthesia (SSEA) combines the rapid onset and dense blockade of spinal anesthesia with the prolonged duration and adjustable analgesia of epidural anesthesia. This technique is particularly beneficial in major surgeries requiring prolonged operative time …

Molecular Docking of Abroma augusta Phytocompounds Against Estrogen Receptor Alpha (Er-Α) for the Treatment of Menstrual Disorders
Abstract: Menstrual disorders, including dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), and irregular menstrual cycles, significantly impact women’s reproductive health and overall well-being. These conditions often arise from hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and uterine dysfunction, necessitating effective therapeutic interventions. Current treatments, such as hormonal therapies (oral contraceptives, progestin-only pills), NSAIDs, and surgical procedures (endometrial ablation, hysterectomy), provide relief but often target symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes. Consequently, there is a …

Smart Drug Delivery Using Nanorobots
Abstract: In recent years, the field of micro/nanorobot research has gained popularity. Because it can be used in targeted medication distribution, surgical procedures, disease detection, etc., it has enormous promise in medical therapy. Different from conventional medication delivery, which depends on blood flow to drug delivery to difficult-to-reach locations is made possible by the planned micro/nanorobots' ability to move independently. Micro/nanorobots were powered by either endogenous power (chemical reaction energy) or …
