Preparing for the unexpected: special considerations and complications after sugammadex administration

BMC Anesthesiology, 2017
Sugammadex, a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, has changed clinical practice of neuromuscular reversal dramatically. With the introduction of this selective relaxant binding agent, rapid and reliable neuromuscular reversal from any depth of block became ...

Prolonged duration of action of rocuronium in a preterm infant: a case report

Frontiers in Pediatrics
Prolonged duration of action of rocuronium is rare but has been more frequently reported in infants. Yet it has not been reported in pre-term infants. We present a case of unusually prolonged neuromuscular blockade following a bolus dose of rocuronium ...

Enhancing Maturation of Human Neuromuscular Organoids via Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A framework for on‐demand and non‐invasive exposure of human neuromuscular organoids (NMOs) to electrical stimuli is established to promote their maturation. The robustness and effectiveness of different stimulation regimes are evaluated via thorough characterization of organoid tissue structure and contraction capacity. Chronic electrical stimulation,

Deep neuromuscular blockade during spinal surgery reduces intra-operative blood loss: A randomised clinical trial.

European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2019
BACKGROUND Spinal surgery is usually performed in the prone position using a posterior approach. However, the prone position may cause venous engorgement in the back and thus increase surgical bleeding with interruption of surgery.

BIN1 and ALDH1B1 Deficiency in Colonic Smooth Muscle Drives Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Fibrosis in Slow‐Transit Constipation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Slow‐transit constipation (STC) is a disabling motility disorder with unclear smooth‐muscle mechanisms. Spatial proteomic analysis of STC patient colon reveals both the central pathogenic role of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in STC and novel regulators of intestinal motility, BIN1 and ALDH1B1.
