Intraoperative Blood Loss during Induced Abortion: A Comparison of Anesthetics
Objective. To determine whether there is a difference in intraoperative bleeding with inhalational versus noninhalational anesthetic agents for patients undergoing suction dilatation and curettage for first-trimester induced abortion. Methods. This is an

Characterization of the Community Structure of Large-Scale Functional Brain Networks During Ketamine-Medetomidine Anesthetic Induction [PDF]
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

Proteomic Learning of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Receptor-Mediated Anesthesia [PDF]
Anesthetics are crucial in surgical procedures and therapeutic interventions, but they come with side effects and varying levels of effectiveness, calling for novel anesthetic agents that offer more precise and controllable effects. Targeting Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, the primary inhibitory receptors in the central nervous system, could

Characterization of Large-Scale Functional Brain Networks During Ketamine-Medetomidine Anesthetic Induction [PDF]
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.

On the emergence of criticality for inhalation-driven particle deposition in the anatomical upper airway [PDF]
Inhalation directs air through a defined pathway, initiating from nostrils, moving through the main nasal cavity, past the pharynx and trachea, and culminating in the lungs. Inhaled particles, of a range of sizes, are ferried by this incoming air but are filtered and trapped by upper airway structures to protect the delicate lower respiratory system ...

Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning for Multiple Anesthetics Collaborative Control [PDF]
Automated control of personalized multiple anesthetics in clinical Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) is crucial yet challenging. Current systems, including target-controlled infusion (TCI) and closed-loop systems, either rely on relatively static pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models or focus on single anesthetic control, limiting ...

Modeling the effect of vorticity on inhaled transport in the upper airway [PDF]
Localized vortices can have significant influence on transport of inhaled particles through the upper respiratory tract. These vortices have complex three-dimensional structure with details dependent on the anatomical geometry. Using a highly simplified model, we demonstrate that changes in transport characteristics with geometric distortion can be ...
