There is a few available information about the effect of anesthetics, specially electroanesthesia on immune parameters in fish. In the present work, two anesthetics, MS222 (50 ppm), clove oil (25 ppm), and electroanesthesia were tested in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in narcosis stage. The results showed, clove oil and electroanesthesia increase the lysozyme activity 24 h after anesthe...

The introduction of avertin has been described as the most important discovery in anaesthesia for many years1, and one of the greatest of the benefits which it confers is the complete amnesia provided by this substance for children about to be submitted to the otherwise terrifying orde'al of inhalation anaesthesia. All observers are agreed that the psychological trauma inflicted on the patient ...

Pain is a widely spread symptom and one of the most common causes making people seek medical attention. Though at present, different methods of pain control such as general narcosis, acupuncture, hypnosis, electroanaesthesia, homeopathy, etc., are known, nothing is better for safety and reliability than local anaesthesia. More often it is an effective alternative to general narcosis and promote...

The pretrigeminal cat is obtained by sectioning the brain stem in front of the trigeminal roots (Batini et al. 1959). During the day of transection the isolated cerebrum of the pretrigeminal cat is continuously awake, and during the following days it remains alternatively in the states of wakefulness and synchronized sleep (Slosarska and Zernicki 197 1). The integrative abilities of the isolate...

Our objective was to study molecular processes that might be responsible for inert gas narcosis and high-pressure nervous syndrome. The classical molecular dynamics trajectories (200 ns) of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayers simulated by the Berger force field were evaluated for water and the atomic distribution of noble gases around DOPC molecules in the pressure range of 1-1000 bar a...
