Role of surgical setting and patients-related factors in predicting the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications after abdominal surgery [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the role of surgical setting (urgent vs. elective) and approach (open vs. laparoscopic) in affecting postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) prevalence in patients undergoing abdominal ...

Neuromuscular blockade monitoring in pediatric patients [PDF]
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), a cornerstone of pediatric anesthesia, facilitate intubation and muscle relaxation during surgery. However, NMBAs can also lead to serious complications including respiratory depression, residual paralysis, and ...

A Static Distributed-parameter Circuit Model Explains Electrical Stimulation on the Neuromuscular System [PDF]
Finite Element Modeling (FEM) has been widely used to model the electric field distribution, to study the interaction between stimulation electrodes and neural tissue. However, due to the insufficient computational capability to represent neural tissue down to an atom-level, the existing FEM fails to model the real electric field that is perpendicular ...

ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC MONITORING OF NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCK
Neuromuscular blocking agents are widely used in anaesthesia, and a simple quantitative method of monitoring their effects is desirable. This paper describes a new instrument which has been developed for electromyographic monitoring of neuromuscular block by a non-invasive technique which is both reliable and easy to use. The median nerve is stimulated

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from stem cells show promise for applications in regenerative medicine, but their scalability and yield remain challenges. This review explores the approaches for biophysical modulations within cell niches on EV properties, discusses the current clinical application of EVs, and provides an outlook on the existing ...

Maximum likelihood q-estimator reveals nonextensivity regulated by extracellular potassium in the mammalian neuromuscular junction [PDF]
Recently, we demonstrated the existence of nonextensivity in neuromuscular transmission [Phys. Rev. E 84, 041925 (2011)]. In the present letter, we propose a general criterion based on the q-calculus foundations and nonextensive statistics to estimate the values for both scale factor and q-index using the maximum likelihood q-estimation method (MLqE ...

Palmoplantar keratoderma along with neuromuscular and metabolic phenotypes in Slurp1-deficient mice. [PDF]
Mutations in SLURP1 cause mal de Meleda, a rare palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK). SLURP1 is a secreted protein that is expressed highly in keratinocytes but has also been identified elsewhere (e.g., spinal cord neurons).
