Sugammadex and Acceleromyography Used During a Lensectomy in a Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus)

Animals
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are essential in intraocular surgeries to improve surgical conditions and ensure optimal ventilation. However, residual blockade can pose significant risks, particularly in pinnipeds due to their unique diving ...

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring and Neuromuscular Anesthesia Depth Monitoring

Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science, 2020
Deep blocking of consciousness alone does not prevent a reaction to severe stimuli, and copious amounts of pain medication do not guarantee unconsciousness.

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,

Inadequate Neuromuscular Blockade Due to Donepezil During General Anaesthesia for Cataract Surgery: A Case Report [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to treat dementia and Alzheimer's disease, can interfere with non-depolarising neuromuscular blockers by increasing synaptic acetylcholine, potentially leading to inadequate neuromuscular blockade.

Acoustic Monitoring of Intraoperative Neuromuscular Block

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1999
Standard methods for accurate intraoperative measurement of neuromuscular block are either expensive or inconvenient and are not used widely. We have evaluated a new method of monitoring neuromuscular block using a low-frequency microphone. The method is based on the phenomenon of low-frequency sound emission by contracting skeletal muscle.

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.

Effects of intracuff and intravenous lignocaine on recovery from anaesthesia after thyroid surgery. A single-centre randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial (The IOLANT study)

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia
Background and Aims: Despite evidence that local intracuff alkalinised lignocaine may reduce the incidence of exaggerated laryngeal reflexes after thyroid surgery, its effects on the quality of recovery (QoR) from anaesthesia remain unknown.
