Biomimetic 3D Tactile Sensor System With Neuromorphic Encoding for Fascicle‐Level Feedback

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A 3D biomimetic tactile sensor system converts skin‐like mechanical interactions into neural stimulation‐ready spike patterns. Embedded slow‐ and fast‐adapting sensors distinguish sustained pressure from transient touch, while neuromorphic encoding preserves their temporal signatures.

Effects of Neostigmine and Sugammadex for Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade on QT Dispersion Under Propofol Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Cardiology and Therapy, 2018
Introduction Reversal of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent neostigmine is associated with QT prolongation under general anesthesia. To clarify the effects of neostigmine and sugammadex on hemodynamic status, the QT interval and QT dispersion ...

Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

Supramolecular therapeutics to treat the side effects induced by a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent

Theranostics, 2019
Succinylcholine (Sch) is the only depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent widely used for rapid sequence induction in emergency rooms. Unfortunately, a variety of (sometimes lethal) adverse effects, such as hyperkalemia and cardiac arrest, are associated with its use, and currently there are no specific antidotes to reverse Sch or to treat these side-

Perioperative Adverse Events in Primary Palatoplasty: “Risk Factors and Impact on Care Escalation in a Multicenter Cohort”

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients undergoing palatoplasty experience perioperative adverse events. Identifying risk factors for perioperative adverse events and escalation of care may improve outcomes. Methods Pediatric patients undergoing primary palatoplasty were included in this retrospective observational study performed at two academic children's ...

EFFECTS OF NON-DEPOLARIZING NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS ON THE CARDIAC VAGUS NERVE IN THE GUINEAPIG

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1980
The ability of gallamine, metocurine, pancuronium, tubocurarine and atropine to block the response to postganglionic stimulation of the vagus nerve were measured in isolated, spontaneously beating guineapig atria. From analysis of the results in conjunction with those of earlier assays of concentrations that block effects of preganglionic vagal ...

Penile intracavernosal injection of succinylcholine for laryngospasm management during hypospadias repair

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Laryngospasm is a serious anesthetic complication that can lead to acute airway obstruction and hypoxemia. Standard management involves deepening anesthesia and administering succinylcholine intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM). However, if IV access is lost or IM drug delivery is too slow, alternative routes are required.

Use and Outcomes of Sugammadex for Neurological Examination after Neuromuscular Blockade in the Emergency Department

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine
Introduction: Non-depolarizing agents such as rocuronium and vecuronium are frequently used in the emergency department (ED) to facilitate intubation but may lead to delay in neurologic examination and intervention.
