Radical pairs may play a role in xenon-induced general anesthesia [PDF]
Sci Rep 11, 6287 (2021), 2020 Understanding the mechanisms underlying general anesthesia would be a key step towards understanding consciousness. The process of xenon-induced general anesthesia has been shown to involve electron transfer, and the potency of xenon as a general anesthetic exhibits isotopic dependence. We propose that these observations can be explained by a mechanism

Population pharmacokinetics of levobupivacaine during a transversus abdominis plane block in children [PDF]
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2019,
pp.1, 2019 BACKGROUND:Levobupivacaine is commonly used during transversus abdominis plane block in pediatric patients. However, the dosing regimen is still empirical, and the pharmacokinetic properties of levobupivacaine are not considered. Here, the pharmacokinetics of levobupivacaine during an ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block were evaluated ...

Comparison of dexmedetomidine and opioids as local anesthetic adjuvants in patient controlled epidural analgesia: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Korean Journal of AnesthesiologyBackground Data on the efficacy and incidence of adverse effects associated with dexmedetomidine (DEX) as a local anesthetic adjuvant for patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) are inconclusive. This meta-analysis assessed the efficacy and risks of

The significance of widely split P waves: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022 Background P wave morphology on electrocardiogram is often overlooked but indicates abnormal cardiac conduction from various etiologies. Split P waves on electrocardiogram have been reported previously but not in a perioperative setting.

"CONDUCTIVE ANESTHESIA BY INTRASACRAL INJECTION OF PROCAIN" [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1919 ABSTRACT To the Editor: —In The Journal, July 26, 1919, p. 298, appeared an abstract of an article of mine in the British Medical Journal, under the title of "Conductive Anesthesia by the Intrasacral Extradural Injection of Procain." Allow me to point out an inaccuracy in this abstract. I did not say that the method described is a new one.

Comparison of the median and intermediate approaches to the ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block: a cadaveric and radiologic study [PDF]
Korean Journal of AnesthesiologyBackground Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a well-established method for managing postoperative and chronic pain. ESPB applications for the sacral area procedures are called sacral ESPBs (SESPBs).

Increasing Robustness of the Anesthesia Process from Difference Patient's Delay Using a State-Space Model Predictive Controller [PDF]
Procedia Engineering 15 (2011) 928-932, 2013 The process of anesthesia is nonlinear with time delay and also there are some constraints which have to be considered in calculating administrative drug dosage. We present an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) observer to estimate drug concentration in the patient's body and use this estimation in a state-space based Model of Predictive Controller (MPC) for

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...
