Neuromuscular Blocking Agents

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1959
AbstractPreliminary observations upon a series of NNNN-tetra-onium compounds (Ia to Ih), an NNSNN-penta-onium compound (II) and an NNNNNN-hexa-onium compound (III) have so far indicated that inter-onium distance is more important in determining the type of activity than the overall length of the molecule or the number of onium centres it contains.

Newer Neuromuscular Blocking Agents [PDF]

Pharmacology & Toxicology, 1994
Four neuromuscular blocking drugs, doxacurium, mivacurium, pipecuronium, and rocuronium have been or are about to be introduced into clinical practice. The purpose of this MiniReview is to describe their pharmacology, to consider their place in clinical anaesthetic practice, and to examine whether the needs of the clinican have been met.

Tetanus Toxin, a Neuromuscular Blocking Agent [PDF]

Nature, 1969
IN some cases of infectious tetanus a neuromuscular block with tetraplegia may follow the state of muscle spasms. We suggested1 that this effect was caused by the tetanus toxin itself rather than to an after-effect of muscle relaxants or other drugs. This hypothesis, however, had to be verified by experiments with animals.

A Wearable AI‐Driven Mask with Humidity‐Sensing Respiratory Microphone for Non‐Vocal Communication

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wearable, plug‐and‐play respiratory microphone—featuring a gold nanoparticle‐based humidity sensor—facilitates voice‐free verbal communication for patients with impaired vocal fold function. Abstract Hoarseness and dysphonia caused by vocal cord conditions or laryngeal surgeries significantly hinder communication and quality of life.

Respiratory muscle activity after spontaneous, neostigmine- or sugammadex-enhanced recovery of neuromuscular blockade: a double blind prospective randomized controlled trial

BMC Anesthesiology, 2019
Background The use of neostigmine after neuromuscular blockade (NMB) has been associated with postoperative respiratory complications. In previous studies, we found lower diaphragmatic activity after neostigmine reversal of NMB, compared to sugammadex ...

Isolated forearm technique: a meta-analysis of connected consciousness during different general anaesthesia regimens [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: General anaesthesia should prevent patients from experiencing surgery, defined as connected consciousness. The isolated forearm technique (IFT) is the current gold standard for connected consciousness monitoring.

Harnessing the Biological Responses Induced by Nanomaterials for Enhanced Cancer Therapy

Aggregate, EarlyView.
Nanomaterial (NM)‐induced toxicity can be strategically repurposed for cancer therapy. This review summarizes the mechanism by which NMs selectively activate specific cellular processes to regulate cell fate independently. We also discussed how NMs‐induced biological responses can be leveraged as therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.

CXCL12/SDF-1 from perisynaptic Schwann cells promotes regeneration of injured motor axonterminals [PDF]

, 2017
The neuromuscular junction has retained through evolution the capacity to regenerate after damage, but little is known on the inter-cellular signals involved in its functional recovery from trauma, autoimmune attacks, or neurotoxins.
