Use of Volatile Anesthetics in Extracorporeal Circulation [PDF]
The use of volatile anesthetics in cardiac surgery is not recent. Since the introduction of halothane in clinical practice, several cardiac surgery centers started to use these anesthetics constantly.In the last years a great number of studies have shown that the volatile anesthetics have a protecting effect against myocardial ischemic dysfunction ...

USE OF INHALANT ANESTHETICS IN THREE SNAKE SPECIES [PDF]
Different snake species respond differently to various anesthetic agents. Hence, an anesthetic procedure developed for one species cannot necessarily be safely transferred to another species.

Inhibition of firefly luciferase by general anesthetics: effect on in vitro and in vivo bioluminescence imaging. [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Bioluminescence imaging is routinely performed in anesthetized mice. Often isoflurane anesthesia is used because of its ease of use and fast induction/recovery.

Anesthesia in the surgery of strabismus: role of anesthetic agents in the ocular deviation and surgical outcome [PDF]
Purpose: To determine whether the changes in the ocular alignment following general anesthesia, maintained with two different inhalational anesthetic agents, sevoflurane and desflurane, can be used as a predictor for surgical outcomes in children with ...

SNARE proteins as molecular masters of interneuronal communication [PDF]
In the beginning of the 20th century the groundbreaking work\ud of Ramon y Cajal firmly established the neuron doctrine, according to which neurons are the basic structural and functional units of the nervous system. Von Weldeyer coined the term “neuron”

The Molecular Pharmacology of Volatile Anesthetics [PDF]
Volatile anesthetics (VAs) transformed medical practice, although their impact may now be taken for granted. More than 150 years after they were introduced, VAs are now ubiquitous in operating rooms, but should not be considered commonplace in terms of our understanding of how they act.

High-throughput screening in larval zebrafish identifies novel potent sedative-hypnotics [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Many general anesthetics were discovered empirically, but primary screens to find new sedative-hypnotics in drug libraries have not used animals, limiting the types of drugs discovered.

Surgical site infection after colorectal surgery according to the main anesthetic agent: a retrospective comparison between volatile anesthetics and propofol [PDF]
BackgroundAnesthetic agents used for general anesthesia are emerging possible influential factors for surgical site infection (SSI). In this retrospective study, we evaluated the incidence of SSI after colorectal surgery according to the main anesthetic ...

Sevoflurane Pre-conditioning Ameliorates Diabetic Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Via Differential Regulation of p38 and ERK. [PDF]
Diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly increases myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. During DM, cardioprotection induced by conventional pre-conditioning (PreCon) is decreased due to impaired AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling.
