Role of Dermabrasion Assisted Tangential Excision in Paediatric Electrical Burn Wounds
Abstract: Early removal of necrotic tissue in deep electrical burns by tangential excision decreases scarring and promotes wound healing. Dermabrasion, traditionally used in dermatology for facial resurfacing and scar treatment, has shown promising results when applied to burn wound management. In burn care, dermabrasion serves as a form of blunt debridement, effectively removing superficial necrotic tissue without damaging underlying healthy structures. This technique helps reduce local inflammation and lowers the likelihood …

Preoperative Use of Midazolam vs Dexmedetomidine for Anxiolysis in Day-Care Surgery
Abstract: Surgical procedures trigger significant fear and anxiety that can adversely affect physiological responses and recovery outcomes. This prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial compared the anxiolytic efficacy and safety of intravenous midazolam and dexmedetomidine in 60 patients undergoing day-care surgery. Primary outcomes included anxiety scores measured by STAI and sedation assessed by the OAAS scale at multiple perioperative time points. Secondary outcomes assessed in the study included detailed evaluation of hemodynamic …

Drug Induced Immune Mediated Nephritis: Molecular Mechanism , Pathways and Clinical Implications
Abstract: Drug-induced immune-mediated nephritis (DI-IMN) has become a more widely known cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), with the potential for development to chronic kidney disease if not detected and treated promptly. T-cell hypersensitivity to pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and immunological drugs, are the major causes for it. Beyond clinical burden, DI-IMN reflectsintricate molecular interactions that sustain interstitial inflammation and tubular injury. These interactions include …

Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Metabolism in Anesthesia: A Pharmacogenomic Perspective
Abstract: Pharmacogenomics studies how a person’s genetic profile affects their reaction to drugs, which is vital in anesthesia. Anesthetic pharmacology depends significantly on drug metabolism, which involves complex biochemical processes that manage the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of anesthetic drugs. The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme family plays a critical role in the metabolism of various anesthetic drugs, with genetic polymorphisms leading to inter-individual variability in drug responses. Specific CYP …
