Needle guidance with Doppler-tracked polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography [PDF]
We demonstrate that a simple, unscanned polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography needle probe can be used to perform layer identification in biological tissues. Broadband light from a laser centered at 1310 nm was sent through a fiber that was embedded into a needle, and analysis of the polarization state of the returning light after ...

Membrane Nanodomains Homeostasis During Propofol Anesthesia as Function of Dosage and Temperature [PDF]
Some anesthetics bind and potentiate gamma-aminobutyric-acid-type receptors, but no universal mechanism for general anesthesia is known. Furthermore, often encountered complications such as anesthesia induced amnesia are not understood. General anesthetics are hydrophobic molecules easily dissolving into lipid bilayers.

Best Practices in Second Stage Labor Care: Maternal Bearing Down and Positioning [PDF]
Despite evidence of adverse fetal and maternal outcomes from the use of sustained Valsalva bearing down efforts, current second-stage care practices are still characterized by uniform directions to “push” forcefully upon complete dilatation of the cervix

Reduced neural activity during volatile anesthesia compared to TIVA: evidence from a novel EEG signal processing analysis [PDF]
Post-operative cognitive decline is a well-known phenomenon and of crucial importance especially in the elderly. General anesthesia can be accomplished by inhalation-based (volatile) or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). While their effects on post-operative symptoms have been investigated, little is known about their influence on brain ...

Stabilizing membrane domains antagonizes n-alcohol anesthesia [PDF]
Diverse molecules induce general anesthesia with potency strongly correlated both with their hydrophobicity and their effects on certain ion channels. We recently observed that several n-alcohol anesthetics inhibit heterogeneity in plasma membrane derived vesicles by lowering the critical temperature ($T_c$) for phase separation.

Distribution of Bupivacaine in Epidural Space [PDF]
Background: There is no consensus regarding the spread of local anesthesia in thoracic epidural space to obtain regional analgesia or anesthesia. We aimed to determine the distribution of Bupivacaine injected into the thoracic epidural space to evaluate ...

Hysteresis in anesthesia and recovery: Experimental observation and dynamical mechanism [PDF]
The dynamical mechanism underlying the processes of anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness and recovery is key to gaining insights into the working of the nervous system. Previous experiments revealed an asymmetry between neural signals during the anesthesia and recovery processes.

The article reports an example of the simultaneous use of brachial plexus block and combined two-segment spinal-epidural anesthesia with fixation of an epidural catheter in the subcutaneous canal in an 81-year-old patient after receiving a household ...
