BACKGROUND This study was designed to determine the optimal anesthetic depth for the maintenance and recovery in interventional neuroradiology. METHODS Eighty-eight patients undergoing interventional neuroradiology were randomly allocated to light anesthesia (n = 44) or deep anesthesia (n = 44) groups based on the value of the bispectral index (BIS). Anesthesia was induced with propofol, alfe...

Periodontal bone defects occur in a wide variety of clinical situations. Adult stem cell- and biomaterial-based bone tissue regeneration are a promising alternative to natural bone grafts. Recent evidence has demonstrated that two populations of adult bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) can be distinguished based on their embryonic origins. These BMSCs are not interchangeable, as bone...

BACKGROUND Preoperative interventions improve outcomes for patients after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). OBJECTIVE To reduce mortality for patients undergoing urgent CABG. METHODS Eight centers implemented preoperative aspirin and statin, preinduction heart rate less than 80/min, hematocrit greater than 30%, blood sugar less than 150 mg/dL (8.3 mmol/L), and delayed surgery at least ...

The participation of renal metallothionein (Ml) in the toxicity and antitumor activity of cii-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cw-DDP) in male mice was examined. Preinduction of MT in the kidney by the s.c. administration of bismuth compounds decreased the lethality and renal and gastrointestinal toxicity caused by a single s.c. injection of c/j-DDP. In the present study a correlation between the ...

Anesthesia outcomes and related risk factors have been studied for more than 100 years. Varying sample sizes and research methods have been used, with research findings that were open to multiple interpretations. Research with closed malpractice claims demonstrates that American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II patients undergoing elective procedures are most likely to experience...

Introduction: Cell therapy has been widely considered as a therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases and nervous system damage. Cholinergic neurons as one of the most important neurons that play a significant role in controlling emotions, mobility, and autonomic systems. In this study, human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) were differentiated into the cholinergic neurons by β-mercapto...

EpidemiolÃ3gica!studies have shown an association between consump tion of alcoholic beverages and carcinoma of the large bowel, but studies in experimental models of colonie carcinogenesis have yielded conflicting results. We assessed the effects on azoxymethane-induced colonie carci nogenesis of both timing of chronic dietary ethanol consumption relative to carcinogen administration and quanti...
