Use of Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant to Propofol along with Neurophysiological Monitoring of the Seventh Cranial Nerve during Cerebello- Pontine Tumour Excision Surgery [PDF]
Cerebello‑Pontine Angle (CPA) surgeries are very challenging for neurosurgeons as it lies very close to brain stem so various cranial nerves are at risk of damage. Generally, such surgeries require neuromuscular monitoring of various cranial nerves. For

Neuromuscular blocking agents in the intensive care unit
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are a controversial therapeutic option in the approach to the critically ill patient. They are not innocuous, and the available evidence does not support their routine use in the intensive care unit.

Abstract Growing concerns over rigor and reproducibility of preclinical studies, including consistency across laboratories and translation to clinical populations, have triggered efforts to harmonize methodologies. This includes the first set of preclinical common data elements (CDEs) for epilepsy research studies, as well as Case Report Forms (CRFs ...

The latest trend in neuromuscular monitoring: return of the electromyography [PDF]
To reduce the risk of residual neuromuscular blockade, neuromuscular monitoring must be performed. Acceleromyography (AMG)-based neuromuscular monitoring was regarded as “clinical gold standard” and widely applied.

The Role of Contraction Mode in Determining Exercise Tolerance, Torque-Duration Relationship, and Neuromuscular Fatigue [PDF]
Purpose: Critical torque (CT) and work done above it (W') are key predictors of exercise performance associated with neuromuscular fatigue. The aim of the present study was to understand the role of the metabolic cost of exercise in determining exercise tolerance, CT and W' and the mechanisms of neuromuscular fatigue.Methods: Twelve subjects performed ...
