BACKGROUND The effects of volume and baricity of spinal bupivacaine on block onset, height, duration, and hemodynamics were studied. METHODS Ninety patients undergoing endoscopic urologic procedures were randomized to receive 10 mg of intrathecal bupivacaine at L2-L3 level in sitting position. In the operating room, commercial products were diluted as needed with NaCl 0.9% to obtain isobaric ...

BACKGROUND Hyperbaric and isobaric bupivacaine has been shown to reduce bispectral index (BIS) during spinal anesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of isobaric bupivacaine and hyperbaric bupivacaine on the BIS during cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial, 84 pregnant women with ASA (America...

Mass spectrometry plays a key role in relative quantitative comparisons of proteins in order to understand their functional role in biological systems upon perturbation. In this review, we review studies that examine different aspects of isobaric labeling-based relative quantification for shotgun proteomic analysis. In particular, we focus on different types of isobaric reagents and their react...

For a cuspidal automorphic representation Π of GL(4, A), H. Kim proved that the exterior square transfer ∧Π is nearly an isobaric automorphic representation of GL(6, A). In this paper we characterize those representations Π for which ∧Π is cuspidal.

In these lecture notes, we present the equations presently used in stellar interior models in order to compute the effects of axial rotation. We discuss the hypotheses made. We suggest that the effects of rotation might play a key role at low metallicity. 1 Physics of rotation Axial rotation modifies the hydrostatic equilibrium configuration by adding a centrifugal acceleration term in the hydr...

In this work, the reparameterized Scarf II oscillator was employed to describe internal vibration of diatomic systems. Analytical equations for bound state pure vibrational energies and canonical partition function were obtained. The used derive statistical-mechanical models prediction molar entropy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy constant pressure (isobaric) heat capacity gaseous substances. obta...
