Direct Current Auditory Evoked Potentials During Wakefulness, Anesthesia, and Emergence from Anesthesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Direct current auditory evoked potentials (DC-AEPs) are a sensitive indicator of depth of anesthesia in ani-mals. However, they have never been investigated in humans. To assess the potential usefulness of DC-AEPs as an indicator of anesthesia in humans,

Phase transitions in biological membranes

open access: yes, 2018
Native membranes of biological cells display melting transitions of their lipids at a temperature of 10-20 degrees below body temperature. Such transitions can be observed in various bacterial cells, in nerves, in cancer cells, but also in lung ...

Cognitive dysfunction following desflurane versus sevoflurane general anesthesia in elderly patients: a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
UnlabelledAs life expectancy increases, more patients ≥65 years undergo general anesthesia. Anesthetic agents may contribute to postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and incidence may differ with anesthetic agents or intraoperative anesthesia depth ...

General Anesthetics: Aspects of Chirality, Pharmacodynamics, and Pharmacokinetics

open access: yesPharmaceuticals
The introduction of general anesthetics in the mid-19th century is considered one of the greatest contributions to medical practice. It was the first time that complicated surgical interventions became feasible, without putting an excessive strain on the

General anesthetic action profile on the human prefrontal cortex cells through comprehensive single-cell RNA-seq analysis

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: The cellular and molecular actions of general anesthetics to induce anesthesia state and also cellular signaling changes for subsequent potential “long term” effects remain largely elusive.

Do Complexity Measures of Frontal EEG Distinguish Loss of Consciousness in Geriatric Patients Under Anesthesia? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
While geriatric patients have a high likelihood of requiring anesthesia, they carry an increased risk for adverse cognitive outcomes from its use. Previous work suggests this could be mitigated by better intraoperative monitoring using indexes defined by

Parosmia and dysgeusia after intravenous propofol-based general anesthesia: A case report

open access: yesAnnals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2022
Various drugs, including anesthetic agents, can cause parosmia in the perioperative period. There are reported cases of patients with alterations of smell and taste due to local anesthetics, nerve damage, or as a side effect of general anesthesia.

Infrared laser sampling of low volumes combined with shotgun lipidomics reveals lipid markers in palatine tonsil carcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Nanosecond infrared laser (NIRL) low‐volume sampling combined with shotgun lipidomics uncovers distinct lipidome alterations in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) of the palatine tonsil. Several lipid species consistently differentiate tumor from healthy tissue, highlighting their potential as diagnostic markers.

The free energy of biomembrane and nerve excitation and the role of anesthetics

open access: yes, 2018
In the electromechanical theory of nerve stimulation, the nerve impulse consists of a traveling region of solid membrane in a liquid environment. Therefore, the free energy necessary to stimulate a pulse is directly related to the free energy difference ...
