On the action potential as a propagating density pulse and the role of anesthetics [PDF]
Biophys. Rev. Letters 2 (2007) 57-78, 2006 The Hodgkin-Huxley model of nerve pulse propagation relies on ion currents through specific resistors called ion channels. We discuss a number of classical thermodynamic findings on nerves that are not contained in this classical theory.

Characterization of Large Scale Functional Brain Networks During Ketamine-Medetomidine Anesthetic Induction [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Several experiments 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 used to model brain functional activities constituting a

Brachial Plexus Nerve Trunk Segmentation Using Deep Learning: A Comparative Study with Doctors' Manual Segmentation [PDF]
[J]. Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2024, 50(3): 374-383, 2022 Ultrasound-guided nerve block anesthesia (UGNB) is a high-tech visual nerve block anesthesia method that can observe the target nerve and its surrounding structures, the puncture needle's advancement, and local anesthetics spread in real-time. The key in UGNB is nerve identification.

Local anesthetic resistance in a pregnant patient with lumbosacral plexopathy [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: We report a case of a patient with apparent resistance to local anesthetics. While similar cases of failure of regional anesthetics are often attributed to technical failure, the overall clinical presentation and history of this patient ...

New patents on topical anesthetics. [PDF]
, 2014 Anesthesia is defined as a total or partial loss of sensation and it may be general, local or topical, depending on the method of drug administration and area of the body affected.

The thermodynamics of general anesthesia [PDF]
, 2006 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 ...

Local Anesthetics Infiltration and Wound Healing Process [PDF]
, 2019 It is a good practice, nowadays, to infiltrate local anesthetics along the incision to prevent postoperative pain. This can reduce the use of opioids and the side effects they cause.

Ketamine-Medetomidine General Anesthesia Occurs With Alternation of Cortical Electrophysiological Activity Between High and Low Complex States [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Anesthetic agents are known to induce a range of alterations in cortical electrophysiological activity, such as the rise of signature patterns, changes in statistical properties, and altered dynamic behavior of neural records. Plenty of methods can be used to monitor these changes, among them complexity metrics demonstrated to have the power to ...
