Secure cranial-mount intrathecal cannulation - a spinal administration technique in the rat.

In order to identify an acute spinally mediated pharmacological effect of a bioactive substance, without incurring untoward supraspinal effects, it is necessary to administer the agent locally onto the spinal cord. The procedure delineated herein…

Temporal changes in left ventricular function after massive sympathetic nervous system activation.

Intense activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) decreases the contractile state of the rabbit left ventricle (LV). In this study, we determined the time course of LV dysfunction after massive central activation of the SNS in dogs.…

Myocardial work load is a major determinant of norepinephrine-induced left ventricular dysfunction.

This study was conducted to determine whether increased myocardial energy demand plays a role in norepinephrine (NE)-induced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. A range of arterial pressure-heart rate (P-R) products (myocardial energy demand) was…

A novel method for treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis in high-risk surgical candidates: pilot study experience with percutaneous remodeling of ligamentum flavum and lamina.

OBJECT: treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) in chronically ill or debilitated patients is challenging. The percutaneous remodeling of ligamentum flavum and lamina (PRLL) technique is a novel method for decompression of the hypertrophic…

Persistent left ventricular dysfunction after cocaine treatment in rabbits.

The present study was undertaken to determine whether the diminished cardiac performance associated with cocaine administration persists after the drug has been eliminated from the body. Cocaine (5 or 10 mg/kg iv) was administered to conscious (n =…

Disposition of chloroform in phosphatidylcholine membranes: A H-2- and P-31-NMR study

The interaction of chloroform with bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) has been studied by deuterium and phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Orientational order has been measured as a function of temperature at many sites in…

Anesthesia for Common Pediatric Emergency Surgeries

Anesthesiologist must be prepared on a daily basis to care for children who need emergency surgery. An appropriate perioperative plan must be formulated and executed to ensure successful management of the child. This article outlines how to prepare…

Variation In The Timing And Frequency Of Sucking And Swallowing Over An Entire Feeding Session In The Infant Pig Sus Scrofa

Processing Of Communication Calls In Guinea Pig Auditory Cortex

Vocal communication is an important aspect of guinea pig behaviour and a large contributor to their acoustic environment. We postulated that some cortical areas have distinctive roles in processing conspecific calls. In order to test this hypothesis…

Neuromuscular Blocking Agents Use And Controversy In The Hospital Setting

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) play an important role in the management of a large number of hospital patients. The pharmacology of NMBAs is well understood, but the use of these agents can be controversial. NMBAs are common in surgical…

Outcomes among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Minimally invasive strategy versus conventional strategy.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of TAVR technique on in-hospital and 30-day outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and reduced ejection fraction (EF). BACKGROUND: Patients with AS and concomitant low EF may be at risk for adverse …
