Concentration of anesthetic for long-term exposure and the effects of inter-suture distance in the goldfish Carassius auratus - DOI: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v31i2.802

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2009
This study aimed to determine the minimum concentration of 2-phenoxyethanol for long-term exposure and evaluate the effect of inter-suture distance on wound healing in the goldfish Carassius auratus. Twenty adult goldfish (standard length = 12.4 ± 1.1 cm;

Nerves and Anesthesia: A physics perspective on medicine [PDF]

open access: yesAnestezjologia 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

Phase transitions in single neurons and neural populations: Critical slowing, anesthesia, and sleep cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The firing of an action potential by a biological neuron represents a dramatic transition from small-scale linear stochastics (subthreshold voltage fluctuations) to gross-scale nonlinear dynamics (birth of a 1-ms voltage spike). In populations of neurons

Postoperative Urinary Retention: Anesthetic and Perioperative Considerations

open access: yesAnesthesiology, 2009
Urinary retention is common after anesthesia and surgery, reported incidence of between 5% and 70%. Comorbidities, type of surgery, and type of anesthesia influence the development of postoperative urinary retention (POUR). The authors review the overall

Reckless formalin injection in the eyelid instead of local anesthetic: case report

open access: yesThe Pan African Medical Journal, 2016
Accidental injection of formalin is certainly rare, but it has serious consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. We report a case of severe ophthalmic damage due to an accidental formalin's injection in the eyelid of a three-year-old child ...
