Understanding the Effects of General Anesthetics on Cortical Network Activity Using Ex Vivo Preparations. [PDF]

Anesthesiology, 2019
General anesthetics have been used to ablate consciousness during surgery for more than 150 yr. Despite significant advances in our understanding of their molecular-level pharmacologic effects, comparatively little is known about how anesthetics alter ...

The thermodynamics of general anesthesia [PDF]

Biophys. J. 92 (2007) 3159-3165, 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 close to body temperature in biomembranes. We propose a thermodynamic extension of the Meyer-Overton

Inhaled Anesthetics: Environmental Role, Occupational Risk, and Clinical Use [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
Inhaled anesthetics have been in clinical use for over 150 years and are still commonly used in daily practice. The initial view of inhaled anesthetics as indispensable for general anesthesia has evolved during the years and, currently, its general use ...

Regulatory Effect of General Anesthetics on Activity of Potassium Channels. [PDF]

Neurosci Bull, 2018
General anesthesia is an unconscious state induced by anesthetics for surgery. The molecular targets and cellular mechanisms of general anesthetics in the mammalian nervous system have been investigated during past decades.

The influence of anesthetics, neurotransmitters and antibiotics on the relaxation processes in lipid membranes [PDF]

J. Phys. Chem. B 111 (2007) 13858-13866, 2007
In the proximity of melting transitions of artificial and biological membranes fluctuations in enthalpy, area, volume and concentration are enhanced. This results in domain formation, changes of the elastic constants, changes in permeability and slowing down of relaxation processes. In this study we used pressure perturbation calorimetry to investigate

Apical Function in Neocortical Pyramidal Cells: A Common Pathway by Which General Anesthetics Can Affect Mental State. [PDF]

Front Neural Circuits, 2018
It has been argued that general anesthetics suppress the level of consciousness, or the contents of consciousness, or both. The distinction between level and content is important because, in addition to clarifying the mechanisms of anesthesia, it may ...

Randomized controlled trial of the effect of general anesthetics on postoperative recovery after minimally invasive nephrectomy [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology
Background General anesthetic techniques can affect postoperative recovery. We compared the effect of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and desflurane anesthesia on postoperative recovery.

Effects of general anesthetics on visceral pain transmission in the spinal cord [PDF]

Molecular Pain, 2008
Current evidence suggests an analgesic role for the spinal cord action of general anesthetics; however, the cellular population and intracellular mechanisms underlying anti-visceral pain by general anesthetics still remain unclear.
