Association Between the Change in Interleukin‐6 Levels and Early Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation: A Comparison of Pulsed Field Ablation and Radiofrequency Ablation [PDF]
Despite causing greater myocardial injury and hemolysis, pulsed field ablation induces significantly less systemic inflammation than radiofrequency ablation. This reduced inflammatory response is independently associated with a lower incidence of early atrial fibrillation recurrence.

Comparison of the Effects of Propofol–Dexmedetomidine and Thiopental–Dexmedetomidine Combinations on the Success of Classical Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertions, Hemodynamic Responses, and Pharyngolaryngeal Morbidity [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Dexmedetomidine is a potent selective α2 receptor agonist with analgesic and sedative effects. Many reports indicate that compared to fentanyl, the combination of dexmedetomidine with propofol provides comparably acceptable ...

The Effect of Adding Remifentanil to Thiopental for Anaesthesia Induction on the Success of Classic Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertion: A Randomised Double-Blind Clinical Trial [PDF]
Background: Remifentanil, an ultra-short-acting µ-receptor agonist, is used with propofol for optimal laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion. However, no studies have assessed its effects when combined with thiopental on LMA conditions.

Exploring Cognitive and Affective Outcomes Following Bilateral 6‐Hydroxydopamine Lesions of the Substance Nigra or Striatum in Rats [PDF]
Our results demonstrate massive degeneration of tyrosine hydroxylase‐immunoreactive neurons was observed in the SNpc, striatum, and ventral tegmental area with 6‐OHDA infusions in either the SNpc or striatum. Rats administered 6‐OHDA to the SNpc exhibited cognitive impairments, anxiety‐like behaviors, and impacted the maturation of newborn hippocampal ...
