Is lumbar erector spinae plane block (L-ESPB) a lumbar plexus block?: a case report of three cases
Background Lumbar erector spinae plane block (L-ESPB) is being used in fractured hip patients for the postoperative pain relief and as a sole anesthetic technique.

Ketamine-Medetomidine General Anesthesia Occurs With Alternation of Cortical Electrophysiological Activity Between High and Low Complex States [PDF]
Anesthetic agents are known to induce a range of alterations in cortical electrophysiological activity, such as the rise of signature patterns, changes in statistical properties, and altered dynamic behavior of neural records. Plenty of methods can be used to monitor these changes, among them complexity metrics demonstrated to have the power to ...

anesthetic: nested sampling visualisation [PDF]
anesthetic is a Python package for processing nested sampling runs, and will be useful for any scientist or statistician who uses nested sampling software. anesthetic unifies many existing tools and techniques in an extensible framework that is intuitive for users familiar with the standard Python packages, namely NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib and pandas.

Surgical wound infiltration by local anesthetic: Wound infiltration [PDF]
A large number of surgical interventions are performed ambulatory under local infiltrative anesthesia. Local anesthetic wound infiltration provides anesthesia for minor surgical procedures and perioperatively improves analgesia after surgery in general ...

Macaque's Cortical Functional Connectivity Dynamics at the Onset of Propofol-Induced Anesthesia [PDF]
Propofol, when administered for general anesthesia, induces oscillatory dynamic brain states that are thought to underlie the drug's pharmacological effects. Despite the elucidation of propofol's mechanisms of action at the molecular level, its effects on neural circuits and overall cortical functioning, which eventually lead to unconsciousness, are ...

Common anesthetic molecules prefer to partition in liquid disorder phase domain in a composite multicomponent membrane [PDF]
Despite a vast clinical application of anesthetics, the molecular level of understanding of general anesthesia is far from our reach. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulation, we study the effects of common anesthetics: ethanol, chloroform and methanol in the fully hydrated symmetric multicomponent lipid bilayer membrane comprising of an ...

Patient‐derived xenografts (PDXs) can be improved by implantation of a humanized niche. We tested different biomaterials and approaches, and demonstrate that the combination of an injectable biomaterial for scaffold creation plus an intravenous route for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) xenotransplantation provide the most convenient and robust approach to

Liquid general anesthetics lower critical temperatures in plasma membrane vesicles [PDF]
A large and diverse array of small hydrophobic molecules induce general anesthesia. Their efficacy as anesthetics has been shown to correlate both with their affinity for a hydrophobic environment and with their potency in inhibiting certain ligand gated ion channels.

Membrane Nanodomains Homeostasis During Propofol Anesthesia as Function of Dosage and Temperature [PDF]
Some anesthetics bind and potentiate gamma-aminobutyric-acid-type receptors, but no universal mechanism for general anesthesia is known. Furthermore, often encountered complications such as anesthesia induced amnesia are not understood. General anesthetics are hydrophobic molecules easily dissolving into lipid bilayers.
