Characterization of the Community Structure of Large-Scale Functional Brain Networks During Ketamine-Medetomidine Anesthetic Induction [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 One of the main goals of neuroscience is to understand how an organism's cognitive capacities or physiological states are potentially related to brain activities that involve the interaction of multiple brain structures and cortical areas. A key feature of functional brain networks is that they are modularly structured, and this modular architecture is

Characterization of Large-Scale Functional Brain Networks During Ketamine-Medetomidine Anesthetic Induction [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Several experiments provide evidence that specialized brain regions functionally interact and reveal that the brain processes and integrates information in a specific and structured manner. Networks can be applied to model brain functional activities, providing means to characterize and quantify this structured form of organization.

Nonlinear Permuted Granger Causality [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Granger causal inference is a contentious but widespread method used in fields ranging from economics to neuroscience. The original definition addresses the notion of causality in time series by establishing functional dependence conditional on a specified model.

Regional Nerve Block of the Temporomandibular Joint Capsule: A Technique for Clinical Research and Differential Diagnosis [PDF]
, 1980 In previous studies in which regional anesthesia of the temporomandibular joint capsule was used to examine the role of the joint in mandibular movement and distinguish it from muscle control, the anesthetic techniques used have not been satisfactorily ...

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

Designing the ideal perioperative pain management plan starts with multimodal analgesia. [PDF]
, 2018 Multimodal analgesia is defined as the use of more than one pharmacological class of analgesic medication targeting different receptors along the pain pathway with the goal of improving analgesia while reducing individual class-related side effects ...

Anesthetic techniques during surgical repair of femoral neck fractures. A meta-analysis.
Anesthesiology, 1992 Fracture of the hip typically occurs in older women. These patients usually have serious accompanying chronic illnesses. There is a difference of opinion as to the choice of regional versus general anesthesia for surgery in these patients.
