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

Awareness about inhalation general anaesthetics among dental students [PDF]
Introduction: General anesthesia is a state of medically induced coma or unconsciousness. General anaesthetics are drugs that render a patient unresponsive and unconscious, so that the patient is unaware of surgery and does not move or feel pain while ...

The thermodynamics of general anesthesia [PDF]
It is known that the action of general anesthetics is proportional to their partition coefficient in lipid membranes (Meyer-Overton rule). This solubility is, however, directly related to the depression of the temperature of the melting transition found ...

USE OF INHALANT ANESTHETICS IN THREE SNAKE SPECIES [PDF]
Different snake species respond differently to various anesthetic agents. Hence, an anesthetic procedure developed for one species cannot necessarily be safely transferred to another species.

Spin-Mediated Consciousness Theory: Possible Roles of Neural Membrane Nuclear Spin Ensembles and Paramagnetic Oxygen [PDF]
A novel theory of consciousness is proposed in this paper. We postulate that consciousness is intrinsically connected to quantum spin since the latter is the origin of quantum effects in both Bohm and Hestenes quantum formulism and a fundamental quantum ...

Effect of helium pre- or postconditioning on signal transduction kinases in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery [PDF]
Background: The noble gas helium induces pre- and postconditioning in animals and humans. Volatile anesthetics induce cardioprotection in humans undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
