AUTHORS: Wang, Jun-Wu BD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 2022 – Volume 135 – Issue 4 – p 865-876 BACKGROUND: The number of patients with diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) continues to increase, but available treatments are limited. This study aimed to examine the influence of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)-NOD–like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)-N-methyl-D-aspartic […]

MD, PhD Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 2022 – Volume 135 – Issue 4 – p 855-864 BACKGROUND: BIS (a brand of processed electroencephalogram [EEG] depth-of-anesthesia monitor) scores have become interwoven into clinical anesthesia care and research. Yet, the algorithms used by such monitors remain proprietary. We do not actually know what we […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 2022 – Volume 135 – Issue 4 – p 845-854 BACKGROUND: Many day-of-surgery cancellations are avoidable, and different strategies are used to prevent these costly adverse events. Despite these past analyses and evaluations of positive interventions, studies have not examined the final disposition of patients […]
Read MoreAUTHORS: Yang, Zhengbo MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: October 2022 – Volume 135 – Issue 4 – p 877-887 BACKGROUND: Sevoflurane (SEVO) increases neuronal excitation in neonatal rodent brains through alteration of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)(A) receptor signaling and increases corticosterone release. These actions may contribute to mechanisms that initiate the anesthetic’s long-term neuroendocrine and […]
