Isoflurane-induced changes in righting response and breathing are modulated by RGS proteins.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that G protein-coupled receptors, especially those linked to G(alpha)(i), contribute to the mechanisms of anesthetic action. Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins bind to activated G(alpha)(i) and ... Read more...

Lower bispectral index values in children who are intellectually disabled.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Very few data are available on the use of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in children who are intellectually disabled. Epileptiform electroencephalogram activity, underlying cerebral pathology, or anticonvulsant/spasmolytic therapy ... Read more...

Maximizing prediction probability PK as an alternative semiparametric approach to estimate the plasma effect-site equilibration rate constant ke0.

25 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The k(e)(0) value is the first order rate constant determining the equilibration of drugs between plasma or end-tidal concentration and effect-site (e.g., brain) concentration. Parametric and semiparametric approaches have been used for ... Read more...
