A Model-Based Architecture for Automatic Anesthesia Infusion [PDF]
This paper presents a model-based control architecture. Based on the Medical Cyber-physical Systems (MCPS) concept, we construct a safe and reliable automatic anesthesia control closed-loop system. The control architecture uses the patient's propofol pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model, using the calculated results as a feedback signal to correct the

The thermodynamics of general anesthesia [PDF]
It 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

Obesity is independently associated with spinal anesthesia outcomes: a prospective observational study. [PDF]
The influence of body-mass index (BMI) on spinal anesthesia is still controversial, with discrepant results reported in previous studies. To compare spinal anesthesia in obese and non-obese subjects, the anesthesia profiles in patients who underwent ...

Comparison of complications of spinal and general anesthasia in percutaneous kidney stone removal [PDF]
While the complications of spinal anesthesia are much less than general anesthesia, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is still performed under general anesthesia in most centers.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy under Local Infiltration Anesthesia in Kneeling Prone Position for a Patient with Spinal Deformity [PDF]
Urolithiasis, a common condition in patients with spinal deformity, poses a challenge to surgical procedures and anesthetic management. A 51-year-old Chinese male presented with bilateral complex renal calculi.

Pigmentary keratitis and mixed chromatophoroma in a betta fish (Betta splendens)
Graphical Abstract This clinical case report describes a <1 year old betta fish that developed pigmentary keratitis, anterior uveitis, and a mixed chromatophoroma that led to the patient's death. A review of available anecdotal and scientific literature suggests that there may have been a genetic cause for these health problems.

AN EVALUATION OF UNILATERAL SPINAL ANAESTHESIA FOR INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMISED COMPARATIVE STUDY. [PDF]
Introduction Around the world, repair of inguinal hernia is frequently utilized in the Lichtenstein mesh repair process. While hernioplasty performed under local anesthesia undoubtedly offers significant advantages, it has yet to be established as a ...

Increasing Robustness of the Anesthesia Process from Difference Patient's Delay Using a State-Space Model Predictive Controller [PDF]
The process of anesthesia is nonlinear with time delay and also there are some constraints which have to be considered in calculating administrative drug dosage. We present an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) observer to estimate drug concentration in the patient's body and use this estimation in a state-space based Model of Predictive Controller (MPC) for
