Authors: Persson N.D.Å. et al. Anesthesiology, October 9, 2025. DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005794 This preclinical study examined how anesthesia type and systemic osmotic state influence the central nervous system (CNS) distribution of drugs administered via the lumbar intrathecal route. While intrathecal drug delivery bypasses the blood-brain barrier, it often fails to achieve therapeutic concentrations in the brain, […]

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005807 This experimental study investigated how the slope of phase III (SIII) of the volumetric capnogram relates to ventilation–perfusion (V̇A/Q̇) mismatch in acute bronchoconstriction and how this relationship changes after bronchodilator therapy. Using advanced synchrotron radiation K-edge subtraction imaging, the researchers directly visualized and quantified […]
