Macaque's Cortical Functional Connectivity Dynamics at the Onset of Propofol-Induced Anesthesia [PDF]
Propofol, when administered for general anesthesia, induces oscillatory dynamic brain states that are thought to underlie the drug's pharmacological effects. Despite the elucidation of propofol's mechanisms of action at the molecular level, its effects on neural circuits and overall cortical functioning, which eventually lead to unconsciousness, are ...

Common anesthetic molecules prefer to partition in liquid disorder phase domain in a composite multicomponent membrane [PDF]
Despite a vast clinical application of anesthetics, the molecular level of understanding of general anesthesia is far from our reach. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulation, we study the effects of common anesthetics: ethanol, chloroform and methanol in the fully hydrated symmetric multicomponent lipid bilayer membrane comprising of an ...

THE PHARMACOLOGY OF THE LOCAL ANESTHETICS [PDF]
Acute intoxication in man from the use of the local anesthetics is far more common than is indicated by the number of recorded cases. We undertook to investigate the causes of such intoxication, and sought to find means of avoiding it, or combating it when it arises.

Patient‐derived xenografts (PDXs) can be improved by implantation of a humanized niche. We tested different biomaterials and approaches, and demonstrate that the combination of an injectable biomaterial for scaffold creation plus an intravenous route for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) xenotransplantation provide the most convenient and robust approach to

Sudden quadriparesis after non-overdose local anesthesia
Background A well-known anesthetic, lidocaine is the most widely used local anesthetic. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a life-threatening event with common and prominent presentations of central nervous system (CNS) toxicity and ...

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

Membrane Nanodomains Homeostasis During Propofol Anesthesia as Function of Dosage and Temperature [PDF]
Some anesthetics bind and potentiate gamma-aminobutyric-acid-type receptors, but no universal mechanism for general anesthesia is known. Furthermore, often encountered complications such as anesthesia induced amnesia are not understood. General anesthetics are hydrophobic molecules easily dissolving into lipid bilayers.
