Breakdown of local information processing may underlie isoflurane anesthesia effects [PDF]
The disruption of coupling between brain areas has been suggested as the mechanism underlying loss of consciousness in anesthesia. This hypothesis has been tested previously by measuring the information transfer between brain areas, and by taking reduced information transfer as a proxy for decoupling.

Dangers of Local Anesthesia. [PDF]
Ridgeway, Mo., Jan. 29, 1908. To the Editor: —Within the last ten days I have had four cases of infected finger, in which the finger had been lanced under the use of some freezing agent, and desire to call attention to the facts that such agents should be used with care and that there is danger connected with their use, the claims of the promoters to

In the blood–testis barrier, occludin is crucial for tight junctions. This study demonstrates that occludin‐targeting short peptides disrupt junction integrity, inducing immune cell infiltration, tumor necrosis factor‐α/interleukin‐6 secretion and mitochondrial dysfunction, ultimately triggering apoptosis.

Reduced neural activity during volatile anesthesia compared to TIVA: evidence from a novel EEG signal processing analysis [PDF]
Post-operative cognitive decline is a well-known phenomenon and of crucial importance especially in the elderly. General anesthesia can be accomplished by inhalation-based (volatile) or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). While their effects on post-operative symptoms have been investigated, little is known about their influence on brain ...

Maxillary nerve block: A comparison between the greater palatine canal and high tuberosity approaches. [PDF]
Aim: Analgesia and anxiolysis during dental procedures are important for dental care and patient compliance. This study aims to compare two classical maxillary nerve block (MNB) techniques: the greater palatine canal (GPC) and the high tuberosity (HT ...

Computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery for painless anesthesia: a literature review
Local anesthesia is administered to reduce pain during dental treatments, but may itself cause pain and contribute to increased dental fear. Computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (CCLAD) is one the method to reduce patient pain during local ...

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 ...
