Obstructive sleep apnea as an independent predictor of postoperative delirium and pain: Protocol for an observational study of a surgical cohort [version 2; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
Introduction: Postoperative delirium and pain are common complications in adults, and are difficult both to prevent and treat. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in surgical patients, and has been suggested to be a risk factor for postoperative ...

Phenobarbital Bioequivalence in Chinese Population: Considering the Role of Food on Pharmacokinetics
Abstract Epilepsy is one of the most severe neurological disorders in the world, which might seriously endanger the lives of patients. Phenobarbital is an important medicine clinically used for the treatment of epilepsy, and it is irreplaceable in the treatment of generalized tonic–clonic seizures, focal seizures, status epilepticus, and pediatric ...

Effects of surgery and anesthetic choice on immunosuppression and cancer recurrence
Background The relationship between surgery and anesthetic-induced immunosuppression and cancer recurrence remains unresolved. Surgery and anesthesia stimulate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to cause ...

Abstract Epilepsy is primarily defined by the repetitive occurrence of seizures, but the full impact of seizures extends beyond these episodic events. Seizures themselves cause changes at the cellular, network, and systemic levels in individual patients with epilepsy and may contribute to the progressive nature of the disease in some patients. Seizures

Effects of General Anesthetics on Excitatory and Inhibitory Synaptic Transmission in Area CA1 of the Rat Hippocamptls In Vitro [PDF]
It is unclear whether general anesthetics induce enhancement of neural inhibition and/or attenuation of neural excitation.We studied the effects of pentobarbital (5xl0^mol/L), propofol (5x10^ mol/L), ketamine (10^ mol/L), halothane (1.5 vol%) and ...

Enhanced charge-independent Mitochondrial Free Ca\u3csup\u3e2+\u3c/sup\u3e and Attenuated ADP-induced NADH Oxidation by Isoflurane: Implications for Cardioprotection [PDF]
Modulation of mitochondrial free Ca2 + ([Ca2 +]m) is implicated as one of the possible upstream factors that initiates anesthetic-mediated cardioprotection against ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury.

Curcuma aromatica rhizome ethanolic extracts (400 mg/kg) showed hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities in alloxan‐induced diabetic rats, comparable to standard drugs in reducing blood glucose levels. The extracts reduced serum cholesterol and triglycerides, increased HDL levels, and prevented weight loss.
