Summary: The most common causes of perioperative hypersensitive reactions are neuromuscular blocking drugs, latex, and antibiotics. This article reports a case of severe allergic reaction in a breast cancer patient after injection of PBV dye, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and management of such cases.

Summary: This study investigated the removal of Patent Blue (PB) dye from an aqueous medium using pineapple fruit peel biochar (PFPB). The results showed that PFPB achieved the highest removal rate of 95% at pH 2 and a PB dye concentration of 600 mg/L. Equilibrium and kinetics studies revealed that PFPB exhibited favorable adsorption behavior and followed the pseudo second-order model. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process was exothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, PFPB exhibited a 37% uptake capacity for PB dye over five consecutive cycles in the adsorption and desorption study.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of methylene blue, patent blue, and indigo carmine for intradiscal injection, and determined the suitable concentration range for chromodiscography during full-endoscopic discectomy (FED). The results showed that patent blue had the widest range of tradeoff concentration within 0.05 to 2.5 mg/mL, making it a more suitable tissue stain with good staining efficacy and lower cytotoxicity.

Summary: This study investigated the use of a biosorbent based on residual biomass from the brewing industry (Saccharomyces pastorianus) immobilized in a natural biopolymer (sodium alginate) for the removal of Methylene Blue from aqueous medium. The biosorbent was characterized using various analytical techniques and the biosorption behavior was studied by assessing the influence of important operational parameters. The results showed that the biosorbent obtained by microencapsulation had the highest sorption capacity, and the Langmuir model best described the adsorption equilibrium. Overall, the residual microbial biomass of Saccharomyces pastorianus immobilized in sodium alginate was found to be an efficient biosorbent for cationic organic dyes in moderate concentrations.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the presence and prognostic relevance of axillary lymph node (ALN) in dogs with mammary gland tumor before surgical resection. The results showed that ALN can be more easily located and removed with the use of a blue dye injection, resulting in shorter surgical time. Dogs with tumors larger than 3 cm, diagnosed as malignant tumors, and with high-grade mammary gland tumors had a higher probability of ALN metastasis.

Summary: This study investigated and compared the efficacy and safety of simultaneous and sequential patent blue dye (PBD) injections for identifying multiple pulmonary nodules during preoperative CT-guided localization. The simultaneous group had a higher localization success rate, lower radiation dose, and shorter procedure time compared to the sequential group, with no significant difference in complications.

Summary: The combination of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and blue dye (BD) for sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection in clinically negative node breast cancer patients showed a higher identification rate of 100% compared to using blue dye alone. The combination method may provide a non-radioactive alternative for SLN biopsy in centers without access to radioisotope.

Summary: This study focuses on the adsorptive removal of PBV dye from aqueous solution using Zn/Al layered double hydroxide in fresh and calcined forms. The highest adsorption capacity was observed in acidic medium. Kinetics data were fitted with the pseudo-second-order model, while equilibrium data correlated best with the Langmuir model.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of patent blue dye injection in the upper outer quadrant of the breast in identifying the sentinel node, compared to the classic retro-areolar injection. The new technique showed promising results with a lower failure rate and can be a cheaper and widely available option.

Summary: The ARM technique was developed to detect and preserve upper-limb lymphatics and lymph nodes after axillary surgery, in order to avoid arm lymphedema. This study aimed to establish the involvement of cancer cells in ARM lymph nodes and evaluate the effectiveness of ARM using patent blue dye.
