The Induction of General Anæsthesia by Intra-Spinal Injections of Cocaine

چکیده
It was my privilege last winter at Algiers to demonstrate to ?some surgical friends at the Civil Hospital at Mustapha the advantages attending the administration of chloroform by a regulating inhaler, such as that manufactured by Krohne and Sesemann. This apparatus was greatly admired, and has since been adopted in at least one surgical service. In return I was initiated into the mode of inducing general anaesthesia by the injection of small doses of cocaine into the spinal canal. In common with all readers of medical literature I was familiar with the technique, but had never been afforded an opportunity of seeing it put into practice. Just as the surgeons of fifty years ago squirmed at the idea of tampering with the peritoneum, so the average man today

A New Nonlinear Autoregressive Exogenous (NARX)-Based Intra-Spinal Stimulation Approach to Decode Brain Electrical Activity for Restoration of Leg Movement in Spinally-Injured Rabbits
This study aims at investigation of stimulation by using intra-spinal signals decoded from electrocorticography (ECoG) assessments to restore the movements of the leg in an animal model of spinal cord injury (SCI). The present work comprised of three steps. First, ECoG signals and the associated leg joint changes (hip, knee, and ankle) in sedated healthy rabbits were recorded in different trial...
متن کاملCocaine sensitization: modulation by dopamine D2 receptors.
Repeated administration of cocaine progressively increases drug-induced locomotor activity. This study examined the role of dopamine D(1)- and D(2)-like receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in mediating these sensitized behaviors. For initiation experiments, animals received bilateral intra-mPFC injections of either saline, the D(1)-like agonist SKF 81297 (3 nmol/side) or the D(2)-l...
متن کاملChanges in beta 1 and beta 2 integrin genes expression in rat lumbar spinal cord is supportive of the inhibitory effect of chronic pain on the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia
Introduction: In order to study the alterations of beta 1 and 2 integrins mRNA level in rat lumbar spinal cord following the induction of chronic pain and its effect on the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia, we examined the level of expression of these genes in the presence of chronic pain, which is an inhibitor of morphine tolerance. We used induction of chronic pain alone and ...
متن کاملRole of nitric oxide and Jun N-terminal kinase in the development of dark neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord following induction of inflammatory pain
Introduction: Dark neurons which their morphological characteristics are consistent with those of cells undergoing apoptosis, are generated as an acute or delayed consequence of several pathological situations. The present study was designed to evaluate whether inflammatory pain regarding the role of NO and JNK lead to the formation of dark neurons in the dorsal horn of the lumbar spinal cor...
متن کاملChanges in gene expression levels of the enzymes involved in biosynthesis and degradation of catecholamines following chronic administration of morphine and pain in rats
Introduction: Stress inhibits the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia via activating Hypothalamic- Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. Modified catecholamine systems have been reported following morphine tolerance development. In the current study we tried to evaluate changes in the gene expression levels for MAO-A, MAO-B, COMT and thyrosine hydroxylase (TyH) enzymes following chronic p...
