Changes in Plasma Glycine Concentration in General Anesthesia With Remifentanil

Authors: Kato et al. Journal line: Cureus, November 12, 2025. DOI: 10.7759/cureus.96727 Summary:This prospective pilot study examined whether glycine-containing remifentanil elevates plasma glycine levels during general anesthesia. The concern arises because remifentanil formulations include glycine, and glycine acts as a co-agonist at the NMDA receptor, potentially contributing to opioid-induced hyperalgesia or postanesthetic shivering. Ten patients […]

Effects of GABA and glutamate signalings from primary sensory neurons to gate the spinal transmission of mechanical pain in mice

Authors: Wu S-J et al. Anesthesiology, November 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005854 SummaryThis mechanistic neuroscience study examined how a specific subset of primary sensory neurons—those capable of synthesizing GABA and expressing the vesicular GABA transporter Vgat—gate mechanical pain transmission in mice. While most dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are glutamatergic and excitatory, these Vgat-positive neurons represent a […]

The Role of Regional Anesthesia in Preventing Cancer Recurrence

Authors: Salib M et al. SourceCureus 17(11): e97114. November 17, 2025. DOI: 10.7759/cureus.97114 SummaryThis review explores whether regional anesthesia can reduce cancer recurrence after surgery. The idea is biologically plausible: regional techniques blunt the stress response, reduce catecholamines and cortisol, limit opioid use, and may preserve immune function, especially natural killer cell activity. Local anesthetics […]
