The effects of increased plasma free fatty acids (FFA) on insulin-dependent whole body glucose disposal, skeletal muscle glycolysis, glycogen synthesis, pyruvate versus FFA/ketone oxidation, and glucose 6-phosphate (Glu-6-P) were investigated in the awake rat. A control group (glycerol-infused) and high

Sedative and analgesic medications are used in critically ill newborns, but little is known about their effects on electrocortical activity in preterm infants. We hypothesized that morphine might induce prolonged neurodepression, independent of blood pressure, as compared with rapid sequence
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketamine (KE) in the management of refractory convulsive status epilepticus (RSE) in children. In November 2009, we started using KE for treating all children consecutively referred for RSE. Clinical and treatment data were

Preliminary evidence suggests that the use of ketamine during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may be neuroprotective against cognitive impairment and have synergistic antidepressant effects. This study tested whether the addition of ketamine reduced cognitive impairment and enhanced efficacy over a course
