Electrochemical Detection of Drugs via a Supramolecular Cucurbit[7]uril-Based Indicator Displacement Assay. [PDF]
Electrochemical detection methods are attractive for developing miniaturized, disposable, and portable sensors for molecular diagnostics. In this article, we present a cucurbit[7]uril-based chemosensor with an electrochemical signal readout for the ...

Functional knockout of the TRPV1 channel has no effect on the exercise pressor reflex in rats. [PDF]
Abstract figure legend In decerebrated rats, CRISPR‐induced functional knockout of TRPV1 channels had no effect on the magnitude of either the exercise pressor reflex evoked by static contraction of the triceps surae muscles or the muscle mechanoreflex evoked by calcaneal tendon stretch.

Blockade of endogenous insulin receptor signaling in the nucleus tractus solitarius potentiates exercise pressor reflex function in healthy male rats. [PDF]
During exercise the brainstem integrates sensory information from skeletal muscle afferents and arterial baroreceptors, resulting in controlled increases in blood pressure. The influence of central insulin signaling on the exercise pressor reflex (EPR) is undetermined.

Alterations in neuromuscular junction morphology with ageing and endurance training modulate neuromuscular transmission and myofibre composition. [PDF]
Abstract figure legend The morphology and function of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the synapse connecting motor neurons and myofibres, change with ageing and exercise training. The age‐related decrease in the overlap between nerve terminal and acetylcholine receptors at the NMJ impaired neuromuscular transmission, as evidenced by the decrease in ...

Pancuronium bromide in emergency surgery [PDF]
Pancuronium bromide, a steroid non-depolarising muscle relaxant has been used to assist intubation before emergency operations in 32 patients and has been found to be satisfactory for quick intubation in a dose of 0-1 mg per kg of body weight. There was no vomiting during induction.

Evaluation of the effect of small single intravenous dose of amiodarone on the prevention of arrhythmias in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery: A randomized controlled trial [PDF]
We demonstrated that the predictive properties in the administration of amiodarone 10 min before the declamping of the aorta can significantly lower the rates of arrhythmia after CABG, while also decreasing hospitalization duration. Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia after cardiac surgery causing a range of ...

Neuromuscular Blockade with Rocuronium Bromide Increases the Tolerance of Acute Normovolemic Anemia in Anesthetized Pigs [PDF]
Background: The patient's individual anemia tolerance is pivotal when blood transfusions become necessary, but are not feasible for some reason. To date, the effects of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) on anemia tolerance have not been investigated. Methods:

Abstract Background and Purpose First‐generation soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators have shown clinical benefit in pulmonary hypertension (riociguat) and chronic heart failure (vericiguat). However, given the broad therapeutic opportunities for sGC stimulators, tailored molecules for distinct indications are required.

The U.S. Supreme Court is about to re-evaluate how some states carry out lethal injections. [PDF]
Next month, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case which challenges Oklahoma’s use of “liquid fire” in executions. The drug – potassium chloride – is one of a cocktail of drugs currently used in some states to carry out death sentences, a ...

A fresh look at paralytics in the critically ill: real promise and real concern. [PDF]
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), or "paralytics," often are deployed in the sickest patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) when usual care fails.
