The minimum alveolar concentration MAC of isoflurane was measured in rats chronically treated with WIN 55,212-2. Methods: The MAC of isoflurane was determined in 24 male rats from expiratory samples at time of tail clamping under the following conditions:

MINIMUM ALVEOLAR CONCENTRATION OF SEVOFLURANE IN CHILDREN
We have determined the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) value of sevoflurane in 20 children, of both sexes, aged 3-5 yr. MAC was found to be 2.49 (SE 0.08)%, which was greater than that of adults in our previous study. The ratio of MAC values between children and adults is similar to that reported elsewhere for enflurane and isoflurane, but not for

BACKGROUND: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been shown to be associated with abnormal neural function. Clinically used inhaled anesthetic agents typically exert their effect through multiple target receptors in the central nervous system. Pathological

BACKGROUND: Original sevoflurane (Sevo A) is made with water, while a generic sevoflurane (Sevocris) is produced with propylene glycol as a stabilizing additive.

Background Low frontal alpha power is an electroencephalogram phenotype suggesting vulnerability to anesthetics. This phenotype for a “vulnerable brain” carries risks for burst suppression at lower-than-expected anesthetic concentrations and therefore ...

Effects of Volatile Anesthetics on Postoperative Ischemic Stroke Incidence
Background Preclinical studies suggest that volatile anesthetics decrease infarct volume and improve the outcome of ischemic stroke. This study aims to determine their effect during noncardiac surgery on postoperative ischemic stroke incidence.

Harmonized tuning of nucleic acid and lectin binding properties with multivalent cyclodextrins for macrophage-selective gene delivery [PDF]
Polycationic amphiphilic cyclodextrins (paCDs) have been shown to behave as efficient non-viral gene carriers paralleling the efficacy of commercial vectors towards a variety of cell lines.

Background: Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) has traditionally been used to compare the potency of volatile anesthetics. However, as it reflects the spinal mechanism of immobility rather than the cerebral mechanism of analgesia and hypnosis, it is ...

Exhaled Nitric Oxide is Not a Biomarker for Pulmonary Tuberculosis. [PDF]
To reduce transmission of tuberculosis (TB) in resource-limited countries where TB remains a major cause of mortality, novel diagnostic tools are urgently needed.

Inhalable spray-dried chondroitin sulphate microparticles: effect of different solvents on particle properties and drug activity [PDF]
Spray-drying stands as one of the most used techniques to produce inhalable microparticles, but several parameters from both the process and the used materials affect the properties of the resulting microparticles.
