High-throughput screening in larval zebrafish identifies novel potent sedative-hypnotics [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Many general anesthetics were discovered empirically, but primary screens to find new sedative-hypnotics in drug libraries have not used animals, limiting the types of drugs discovered.

Long-term effects of neonatal single or multiple isoflurane exposures on spatial memory in rats

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
General anesthetics are neurotoxic to neonatal rodents and nonhuman primates. Neonatal exposure to general anesthetics has been associated with long-term cognitive deficits in animal models. Some data from humans are consistent with long-term deleterious

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

, 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 ...

Anesthesia in the surgery of strabismus: role of anesthetic agents in the ocular deviation and surgical outcome [PDF]

, 2015
Purpose: To determine whether the changes in the ocular alignment following general anesthesia, maintained with two different inhalational anesthetic agents, sevoflurane and desflurane, can be used as a predictor for surgical outcomes in children with ...

Neurotoxicity of General Anesthetics [PDF]

Anesthesiology, 2009
General anesthetics are highly lipid soluble and can dissolve in every membrane, penetrate into organelles and interact with numerous cellular constituents. Their actions have long been considered rapid and fully reversible, with the pharmacodynamic time course of anesthesia dictated solely by the pharmacokinetic profiles of anesthetic uptake and ...

General Anesthetics: Aspects of Chirality, Pharmacodynamics, and Pharmacokinetics

Pharmaceuticals
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

Anesthesia-induced developmental neurodegeneration: the role of neuronal organelles

Frontiers in Neurology, 2012
Exposure to general anesthetics and antiepileptics during critical stages of brain development causes significant neurotoxicity to immature neurons.

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

iScience, 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.

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

, 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,

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

Annals 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.
