N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors can be inhibited by inhalational anesthetics in vitro at clinically relevant concentrations. Here, to clarify the role of NMDA receptors in anesthetic-induced unconsciousness, we examined the hypnotic properties of isoflurane, sevoflurane and nitrous oxide in NMDA receptor
Although accumulating evidence suggests that arousal pathways in the brain play important roles in emergence from general anesthesia, the roles of monoaminergic arousal circuits are unclear. In this study, the authors tested the hypothesis that methylphenidate (an inhibitor of dopamine

To compare the amount of sedation medication administered during radiofrequency (RF) ablation versus cryoablation of small renal masses. Records were retrospectively reviewed in patients who underwent percutaneous computed tomography-guided RF ablation and cryoablation of small renal masses from January 2002
In this paper, extraction kinetics was investigated experimentally and theoretically in hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) and electromembrane extraction (EME) with the basic drugs droperidol, haloperidol, nortriptyline, clomipramine, and clemastine as model analytes. In HF-LPME, the analytes were extracted by
The Food and Drug Administration issued a black box warning regarding the use of droperidol and the potential for torsade de pointes. The primary objective of this retrospective study was to determine if low-dose (0.625 mg) droperidol administration was associated
