6. Sedation with volatile anesthetics in cardiothoracic intensive care unit patients
Abstract : Volatile anaesthetics have been reported to provide protection against myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury. This effect has been demonstrated in experimental studies when the volatile anaesthetics were provided either before (preconditioning) or after the ischemic period (postconditioning). READ MORE

7. A new technique for postoperative pain management with local anesthetic after abdominal hysterectomy
Abstract : An abdominal hysterectomy (AH) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. In this thesis, a new technique for postoperative pain managment has been studied in 200 patients: local anesthetic (LA) was administered intraperitoneally (IP) after elective AH. READ MORE

8. Allosteric modulation of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels by general anesthetics
Abstract : Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are key components of fast synaptic transmission and are targets of neuroactive drugs such as benzodiazepines, alcohol and muscle relaxants. Although early theories of general anesthesia suggested non-specific lipid interaction as the mechanism of anesthetic action, it has now become evident that they too bind to pLGICs. READ MORE

9. Electrolyte structures and ionization conditions for iontophoretic drug formulation of local anesthetics
Abstract : Iontophoresis is a modern method of drug delivery by which charged bioactive molecules (drugs) are transferred from an electrolytic reservoir into and through a tissue, normally skin, by means of a weak electric current. The drug is placed in a conductive medium, usually an aqueous solution or a hydrogel, between the "active" electrode and the skin. READ MORE

10. Extreme hemodilution: Effects of inhalation anesthetics, hypoxia, and blood loss. An Experimental study in pigs
Abstract : Hemodilution reduces the need for blood transfusion and hereby the risk for transmission of infectious agents. The present study investigated effects on systemic and myocardial circulation and oxygenation, and blood lactate concentrations; induced by nitrous oxide, isoflurane, hypoxia, and uncompensated blood loss, in pigs hemodiluted to a hematocrit of 11%.
