Excitable neurons, firing threshold manifolds and canards [PDF]
We investigate firing threshold manifolds in a mathematical model of an excitable neuron. The model analyzed investigates the phenomenon of post-inhibitory rebound spiking due to propofol anesthesia and is adapted from McCarthy et al. (SIAM J. Appl. Dyn.

Propofol induces nuclear localization of Nrf2 under conditions of oxidative stress in cardiac H9c2 cells. [PDF]
Oxidative stress contributes to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, which causes cardiomyocyte death and precipitate life-threatening heart failure. Propofol has been proposed to protect cells or tissues against oxidative stress.

Propofol and children--what we know and what we do not know. [PDF]
The pharmacokinetics of propofol are relatively well described in the pediatric population. Recent work has confirmed the validity of allometric scaling for predicting propofol disposition across different species and for describing pediatric ontogenesis.

Association of Polymorphisms in Pharmacogenetic Candidate Genes with Propofol Susceptibility
Significant individual susceptibility to intravenous anesthetic propofol exists. The etiology of individual variability in the response to propofol may be influenced by genetic polymorphisms in metabolic and functional pathways.

Propofol-Based Procedural Sedation with or without Low-Dose Ketamine in Children [PDF]
Objective Examine comparative dosing, efficacy, and safety of propofol alone or with an initial, subdissociative dose of ketamine approach for deep sedation. Background Propofol is a sedative-hypnotic agent used increasingly in children for deep sedation.
