The thermodynamics of general anesthesia [PDF]
Biophys. J. 92 (2007) 3159-3165, 2006It is known that the action of general anesthetics is proportional to their partition coefficient in lipid membranes (Meyer-Overton rule). This solubility is, however, directly related to the depression of the temperature of the melting transition found close to body temperature in biomembranes. We propose a thermodynamic extension of the Meyer-Overton

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Anesthesia Model Incorporating psi-Caputo Fractional Derivatives [PDF]
Computers in Biology and Medicine 167 (2023), Art. 107679, 9 pp, 2023We present a novel Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for the induction phase of anesthesia, incorporating the $\psi$-Caputo fractional derivative. By employing the Picard iterative process, we derive a solution for a nonhomogeneous $\psi$-Caputo fractional system to characterize the dynamical behavior of the drugs distribution within a ...

Inhalation and deposition of spherical and pollen particles after middle turbinate resection in a human nasal cavity [PDF]
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology Volume 294, December 2021, 103769, 2021Middle turbinate resection significantly alters the anatomy and redistributes the inhaled air. The superior half of the main nasal cavity is opened up, increasing accessibility to the region. This is expected to increase inhalation dosimetry to the region during exposure to airborne particles.
