Chromosomal damage among medical staff occupationally exposed to volatile anesthetics, antineoplastic drugs, and formaldehyde

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Structural chromosomal aberrations in blood lymphocytes represent a biomarker for cellular damage caused by genotoxic carcinogens and are an indicator of increased cancer risk.

Volatile versus total intravenous anesthesia for 30-day mortality following non-cardiac surgery in patients with preoperative myocardial injury.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
We evaluated whether volatile anesthetics can improve the postoperative outcomes of non-cardiac surgery in patients with preoperative myocardial injury defined by the cardiac troponin elevation.

The Differential Effects of Anesthetics on Bacterial Behaviors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Volatile anesthetics have been in clinical use for a long period of time and are considered to be promiscuous by presumably interacting with several ion channels in the central nervous system to produce anesthesia. Because ion channels and their existing

Risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting after the removal of impacted third molars: a cross-sectional study

open access: yesBMC Oral Health, 2021
Background A better understanding of the risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) could improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for PONV and its onset after third molar impaction surgery, and to demonstrate

Volatile Anesthetics versus Propofol for Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass

open access: yesAnesthesiology, 2020
Background: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effect of anesthesia maintenance with volatile agents compared with propofol on both short- and long-term mortality (primary outcomes) and major clinical events in adults ...

C. elegans and volatile anesthetics [PDF]

open access: yesWormBook, 2007
The mechanism of action of volatile anesthetics remains an enigma, despite their worldwide use. The nematode C. elegans has served as an excellent model to unravel this mystery. Genes and gene sets that control the behavior of the animal in volatile anesthetics have been identified, using multiple endpoints to mimic the phenomenon of anesthesia in man.

New patents on topical anesthetics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Anesthesia is defined as a total or partial loss of sensation and it may be general, local or topical, depending on the method of drug administration and area of the body affected.

The volatile anesthetic isoflurane differentially inhibits voltage-gated sodium channel currents between pyramidal and parvalbumin neurons in the prefrontal cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023
BackgroundHow volatile anesthetics work remains poorly understood. Modulations of synaptic neurotransmission are the direct cellular mechanisms of volatile anesthetics in the central nervous system.
