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

General Anesthesia Inhibits the Activity of the “Glymphatic System”

Theranostics, 2018
INTRODUCTION: According to the “glymphatic system” hypothesis, brain waste clearance is mediated by a continuous replacement of the interstitial milieu by a bulk flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Global Trends in Risk Factors for Low Back Pain: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study Data From 1990 to 2021

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The increasing burden associated with low back pain (LBP) is a critical issue. This is a novel analysis of trends in risk factors for LBP aiming to identify risk factors that require further attention or consideration in global policies to reduce the burden of LBP.

Effect of butorphanol tartrate combined with dexmedetomidine on postoperative analgesia [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled
Background/Aim. Since finding a safe and efficient strategy of multimodal postoperative analgesia and sedation is particularly critical, it is important that dexmedetomidine (DM) combined with opioid anesthetics can enhance that through a synergistic ...

Dynamic Cortical Connectivity during General Anesthesia in Surgical Patients

Anesthesiology, 2019
What We Already Know about This Topic Animal data, along with recent human observations (in this issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY*), suggest that cortical oscillations and connectivity shift dynamically during what appears to be stable general anesthesia Clinical

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Earnings, and Work Loss: A Nationwide Matched Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study compares trajectories of earnings and work loss in individuals with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) versus matched comparators from the general population. Methods Patients with JIA (n = 4,737) were identified in the Swedish National Patient Register (2001–2017) and individually matched to up to five general population ...

Hyperoxia therapy for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting after breast cancer surgery [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled
Background/Aim. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are one of the most common causes of patient dissatisfaction in the postoperative period after general anesthesia.

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 ...

Placebo Effect Sizes in Clinical Trials of Knee Osteoarthritis Using Intra‐Articular Injections of Biologic Agents

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Patients with knee osteoarthritis rely on symptomatic treatments, in which up to 75% of the pain reduction can be attributed to the placebo effect. This effect may vary based on treatment type (eg, biologics vs nonbiologic injection) and route of administration (eg, intra‐articular vs topical vs oral).
