Inhalational or total intravenous anaesthesia: is total intravenous anaesthesia useful and are there economic benefits? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The comparison of inhalational and intravenous anaesthesia has been the subject of many controlled trials and meta-analyses. These reported diverse endpoints typically including measures of the speed and quality of induction of ...

Beyond Bioactive Glass Composition: Using Morphology to Improve in Vitro and in Vivo Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bioactive glasses can easily be shaped into granules, spheres, discs, fibers, or three‐dimensional scaffolds. The resulting morphology not only affects handling properties; it has a direct influence on various glass properties, including results of acellular immersion experiments or in vitro studies with cells or bacteria, but also on in vivo ...

Biocompatible PVDF Nanofibers with Embedded Magnetite Nanodiscs Enable Wireless Magnetoelectric Stimulation in Premotor Cortex

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible, biocompatible PVDF nanofibers embedded with magnetite nanodiscs enable wireless magnetoelectric neuromodulation. Shape anisotropy of the nanodiscs facilitates magnetostrictive strain transfer under alternating magnetic fields, allowing activation of neurons in vitro and behavioral modulation in vivo, without requiring rigid implants or ...

Evaluation of Postoperative Deficits following Motor Cortex Tumor Resection using Small Craniotomy

open access: yesThe Surgery Journal, 2019
Introduction Surgical treatment of brain tumors in eloquent areas has always been considered a major challenge because removal-related cortical damage can cause serious functional impairment. However, few studies have investigated the association between

Use of the Neurological Pupil Index to Predict Postoperative Visual Function After Resection of a Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma: A Case Report. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Neurological Pupil index (NPi) is a standardized method for evaluating pupil reactivity that removes inter-examiner variability. Changes in the NPi can predict clinical deterioration in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI); however, its use to ...

An Ultra‐Flexible Neural Electrode with Bioelectromechanical Compatibility and Brain Micromotion Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Neural electrodes face a mechanical mismatch with brain tissue. This study proposes a bioelectromechanical coupling strategy using an ultra‐flexible electrode designed for synchronized motion. Optimized to match brain tissue stiffness, it achieves dual signal acquisition and micromotion sensing, with characterized interfacial forces and piezoresistive ...

Thermally Drawn Multifunctional All‐Hydrogel Fibers for Anti‐Fibrotic and Multimodal Neural Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrogels demonstrate material properties that mimic the mechanical and chemical environments of biological tissues. Yet, they face challenges during their integration into 3D interfaces. By identifying a class of thermoplastic hydrogels, a strategy is developed to pattern hydrogels in thermally drawn fibers.
