Evaluation of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as additives to ropivacaine for epidural anesthesia and postoperative analgesia

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2018
Background and Aims: The synergism between epidural local anesthetic agent and opioids is well established, but evidence for the combination of local anesthetic agent with dexmedetomidine in epidurals is limited.

A local anesthetic, ropivacaine, suppresses activated microglia via a nerve growth factor-dependent mechanism and astrocytes via a nerve growth factor-independent mechanism in neuropathic pain [PDF]

, 2011
Background Local anesthetics alleviate neuropathic pain in some cases in clinical practice, and exhibit longer durations of action than those predicted on the basis of the pharmacokinetics of their blocking effects on voltage-dependent sodium channels ...

A prospective, randomized, triple-blind comparative study of ropivacaine-dexmedetomidine versus ropivacaine alone in peribulbar blocks

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2023
Background and Aims: Bupivacaine and lidocaine mixtures are the commonly used local anesthetic drugs for the peribulbar blocks. Because of its safe anesthetic profile, ropivacaine is being investigated as an alternative agent.

Analgesic effects of alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists in equine medicine: systemic, spinal, and local applications

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists provide analgesia when used as sole agents but can also be used in combination with other drugs for their additive and potentially synergistic effects. Further, because of their effects on blood flow, alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists act to extend and perhaps intensify the effects of drugs, such as local ...

A comparative evaluation of hyperbaric ropivacaine versus hyperbaric bupivacaine for elective surgery under spinal anesthesia

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2014
Background: Recently introduced ropivacaine is 40% less potent than bupivacaine. Ropivacaine made hyperbaric by the addition of dextrose is known to provide reliable spinal anesthesia (SA).This study was designed to compare the clinical efficacy of equal

Technical note on an ovine model to study biomedical implants intended for maxillofacial reconstruction

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To describe a repeated‐measures model permitting evaluation of up to four implants intended for maxillofacial applications in sheep. Animals Two‐year‐old Merino wethers (n = 5). Methods A retromandibular subparotid approach was developed through anatomical study of atlases, predissected models and cadaveric experiments.
