General anesthesia reduces complexity and temporal asymmetry of the informational structures derived from neural recordings in Drosophila [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Research 2, 023219 (2020), 2019 We apply techniques from the field of computational mechanics to evaluate the statistical complexity of neural recording data from fruit flies. First, we connect statistical complexity to the flies' level of conscious arousal, which is manipulated by general anesthesia (isoflurane).

Stabilizing membrane domains antagonizes n-alcohol anesthesia [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, Volume 111, Issue 3, 9 August 2016, Pages
537-545, 2016 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.

The Thermodynamics of General and Local Anesthesia [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 General anesthetics are known to cause depression of the freezing point of transitions in biomembranes. This is a consequence of ideal mixing of the anesthetic drugs in the membrane fluid phase and exclusion from the solid phase. Such a generic law provides physical justification of the famous Meyer-Overton rule.

General Anesthesia, Sleep, and Coma [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010 This review discusses the clinical and neurophysiological features of general anesthesia and their relationships to sleep and coma, focusing on the neural mechanisms of unconsciousness induced by selected intravenous anesthetic drugs.

The Neural Circuits Underlying General Anesthesia and Sleep.
Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2021 General anesthesia is characterized by loss of consciousness, amnesia, analgesia, and immobility. Important molecular targets of general anesthetics have been identified, but the neural circuits underlying the discrete end points of general anesthesia ...

Anesthesiology, 2021 Background: Delirium is a common and serious postoperative complication, especially in the elderly. Epidural anesthesia may reduce delirium by improving analgesia, reducing opioid consumption, and blunting stress response to surgery. This trial therefore

The Current Role of General Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery
Current Anesthesiology Reports, 2021 The use of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery has declined in the last decades due to the widespread utilization of neuraxial techniques and the understanding that neuraxial anesthesia can be provided even in urgent circumstances. In fact, the role

General anesthesia vs. non-general anesthesia for vertebrobasilar stroke endovascular therapy
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 BackgroundThe optimal type of anesthesia for acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) remains controversial. We aimed to assess the influence of anesthetic management on the outcomes in VBAO patients received endovascular treatment (EVT ...
