“…With proper administration, electroacupuncture has been shown to be both safe and effective. 119, [388][389][390][391][392] In addition to possibly reducing CINV, PC6 stimulation has been associated with other positive benefits, including analgesic, 119 sedative, 393 and anxiolytic effects. 394 Furthermore, because CINV is drug-specific rather than disease-specific, these benefits should extend to CINV in other cancer patient populations, as suggested in the study by Yang et al, 384 with participants who had a variety of cancers.…”

Patients with breast cancer commonly use complementary and integrative therapies as supportive care during cancer treatment and to manage treatment-related side effects. However, evidence supporting the use of such therapies in the oncology setting is limited. This report provides updated clinical practice guidelines from the Society for Integrative Oncology on the use of integrative therapies for specific clinical indications during and after breast cancer treatment, including anxiety/stress, depression/mood disorders, fatigue, quality of life/physical functioning, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, lymphedema, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, pain, and sleep disturbance. Clinical practice guidelines are based on a systematic literature review from 1990 through 2015. Music therapy, meditation, stress management, and yoga are recommended for anxiety/stress reduction. Meditation, relaxation, yoga, massage, and music therapy are recommended for depression/mood disorders. Meditation and yoga are recommended to improve quality of life. Acupressure and acupuncture are recommended for reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Acetyl-L-carnitine is not recommended to prevent chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy due to a possibility of harm. No strong evidence supports the use of ingested dietary supplements to manage breast cancer treatment-related side effects. In summary, there is a growing body of evidence supporting the use of integrative therapies, especially mind-body therapies, as effective supportive care strategies during breast cancer treatment. Many integrative practices, however, remain understudied, with insufficient evidence to be definitively recommended or avoided.

“…The most commonly used method for the treatment of nausea and vomiting observed due to hypotension formed by the effects of spinal anesthesia is the use of vasopressor medications, especially the use of ephedrine in order to prevent hypotension (7,19). Considering the side effects of ephedrine used for the treatment of hypotension that occurs after spinal anesthesia in caesarean operations performed under spinal anesthesia, studies have been conducted to identify different doses of ephedrine or new drugs and techniques that can be used instead of ephedrine (4,5,16,21). The positive effects of granisetron on nausea and vomiting were observed in a study conducted by Eldaba and Amr (5).…”

Translational research in anaesthesia provided great solutions to medicine, well beyond its scope, in the past. Exciting opportunities exist for neuroanaesthesiologists to conduct translational research not just in anaesthesia alone but in the wider realm of neurosciences. This research is expected to provide solutions to clinical neuroscience questions and to help understand some of the complex neurocognitive functions. Despite several technical developments, progress in translational sciences has been rather slow in the recent years. Re-orientation of the research programmes to a translational format with the involvement of all the stakeholders is likely to conserve the cost and provide rapid solutions to the healthcare.
