Intravenous general anesthesia in the prone position for a patient with a stab wound

Revista Electrónica Dr. Zoilo E. Marinello Vidaurreta, 2021
The position of the patient has an important role in facilitating the development of a surgical intervention. In the case of patients with a stab, the wound can limit the possibilities while positioning the patient.

Elamipretide (SS-31) improves mitochondrial dysfunction, synaptic and memory impairment induced by lipopolysaccharide in mice

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background It is widely accepted that mitochondria have a direct impact on neuronal function and survival. Oxidative stress caused by mitochondrial abnormalities play an important role in the pathophysiology of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced memory ...

Liquid general anesthetics lower critical temperatures in plasma membrane vesicles [PDF]

, 2013
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.

A lung rescue team improves survival in obesity with acute respiratory distress syndrome

Critical Care, 2020
Background Limited data exist regarding ventilation in patients with class III obesity [body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2] and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The aim of the present study was to determine whether an individualized titration of

Epidural and general anesthesia versus general anesthesia in radical prostatectomy

Medicina, 2009
Induced hypotension with epidural anesthesia influences the intraoperative blood loss in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate intraoperative blood loss and need of blood transfusions in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy under epidural/general anesthesia and general anesthesia.

Nerves and Anesthesia: A physics perspective on medicine [PDF]

Anestezjologia i Ratownictwo 2014; 8: 252-263, 2014
We present a recent theory for nerve pulse propagation and anesthesia and argue that both nerve activity and the action of anesthetics can be understood on the basis of simple physical laws. It was found experimentally that biological membranes melt from a solid state to a liquid state just below physiological temperature. Such melting processes have a

Cottonseed oil alleviates ischemic stroke injury by inhibiting the inflammatory activation of microglia and astrocyte

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Background Ischemic stroke is the second leading cause of death globally. The narrow time window for administering effective thrombolytic therapy motivates the search for alternative prevention strategies.

Mechanism of Anesthetic Action: Oxygen Pathway Perturbation Hypothesis [PDF]

Medical Hypothese (2001) 57(5): 619-627., 2001
Although more than 150 years have past since the discovery of general anesthetics, how they precisely work remains a mystery. We propose a novel unitary mechanism of general anesthesia verifiable by experiments. In the proposed mechanism, general anesthetics perturb oxygen pathways in both membranes and oxygen-utilizing proteins such that the ...
