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 ...

General anesthesia reduces complexity and temporal asymmetry of the informational structures derived from neural recordings in Drosophila [PDF]
We apply techniques from the field of computational mechanics to evaluate the statistical complexity of neural recording data from fruit flies. First, we connect statistical complexity to the flies' level of conscious arousal, which is manipulated by general anesthesia (isoflurane).

Comparison of the Anesthetic Techniques
A great number of anesthetic techniques (general, regional, spinal, epidural, caudal, hypotensive, total intravenous, regional intravenous, inhalation, and nerve blocks) can be used for multiple surgical procedures [1–3].

The main objective of this work was to obtain detailed information on the distribution and localization of the spexin (Spx) system in the sea bass brain. To this purpose, we first identified and characterized the spx1 gene and analyzed its expression in the central nervous system (CNS) of the European sea bass by using quantitative Real‐Time Polymerase

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 ...

The thermodynamics of general and local anesthesia [PDF]
General anesthetics are known to cause depression of the freezing point of transitions in biomembranes. This is a consequence of ideal mixing of the anesthetic drugs in the membrane fluid phase and exclusion from the solid phase. Such a generic law provides physical justification of the famous Meyer-Overton rule.

Automatic Ultrasound Image Segmentation of Supraclavicular Nerve Using Dilated U-Net Deep Learning Architecture [PDF]
Automated object recognition in medical images can facilitate medical diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we automatically segmented supraclavicular nerves in ultrasound images to assist in injecting peripheral nerve blocks. Nerve blocks are generally used for pain treatment after surgery, where ultrasound guidance is used to inject local ...

Abstract Background and Objective Phantom limb pain (PLP) concerns >50% of amputees and has a negative impact on their rehabilitation, mental health and quality of life. Mirror therapy (MT) is a promising strategy, but its effectiveness remains controversial.
