Authors: Zhao, Xianghe et al. Anesthesiology November 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005826 This preclinical study explored how acute stress influences anesthetic depth and emergence from isoflurane anesthesia, focusing on sex-specific neural mechanisms. Using a mouse model exposed to 30 minutes of restraint stress, investigators assessed the onset and recovery of anesthesia through loss and return of […]

Anesthesiology November 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005738 This study examined how skin tone influences the accuracy of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) readings in children, addressing concerns similar to those previously identified in pulse oximetry. Using the Medtronic INVOS 5100C NIRS system, the research team enrolled 110 pediatric patients under 21 years […]

Anesthesiology November 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005829 This large cohort study from the UK Biobank investigated the link between chronic pain, analgesic use, and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with diabetes. The analysis included over 20,000 diabetic participants who provided detailed information on seven chronic pain locations […]

Anesthesiology November 2025 | DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005807 This investigation evaluated how the slope of phase III (SIII) of the volumetric capnogram reflects the balance between lung ventilation and perfusion (V̇A/Q̇) during acute bronchoconstriction. In a rabbit model, the researchers used methacholine to induce bronchoconstriction and synchrotron radiation K-edge subtraction (KES) imaging […]
