Smart Portable Pen for Continuous Monitoring of Anaesthetics in Human Serum With Machine Learning

Sandro Carrara, Mandresy Ivan Ny Hanitra, Danilo Demarchi, Simone Aiassa

Continuous monitoring of anaesthetics infusion is demanded by anaesthesiologists to help in defining personalized dose, hence reducing risks and side effects. We propose the first piece of technology tailored explicitly to close the loop between anaesthesi ...

Raspberry-Pi based system for propofol monitoring

Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Danilo Demarchi, Tugba Kilic, Abuduwaili Tuoheti

Induction of anesthesia with propofol is a largely adopted technique in hospital environments. The correct dosage of this compound is essential to avoid under- or over-anesthesia that may result in serious side-effects. Therefore, in clinical settings, lon ...

IoT Bio-Electronic Multi-Panel Device for On-line Monitoring of Anaesthesia Delivery

Francesca Stradolini

After a failure of "One-Size-Fits-All" approach on traditional treatment of diseases, the age of multi-faceted personalized medicine came into being for tailoring therapy to get the best response in the highest safety margin. Personalized drug dosage is on ...

Energy metabolism in the rat cortex under thiopental anaesthesia measured

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Nathalie Just, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

Barbiturates, commonly used as general anaesthetics, depress neuronal activity and thus cerebral metabolism. Moreover, they are likely to disrupt the metabolic support of astrocytes to neurons, as well as the uptake of nutrients from circulation. By employ ...

Targeting Tumor Vasculature with Aptamer-Functionalized Doxorubicin - Polylactide Nanoconjugates for Enhanced Cancer Therapy

Li Tang

An A10 aptamer (Apt)-functionalized, sub-100 nm doxorubicin–polylactide (Doxo-PLA) nanoconjugate (NC) with controlled release profile was developed as an intravenous therapeutic strategy to effectively target and cytoreduce canine hemangiosarcoma (cHSA), a ...

A New Adjustable Glaucoma Drainage Device

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Adan Villamarin, Stéphane Bigler

PURPOSE. This work is focused on the testing of a new experimental noninvasively adjustable glaucoma drainage device (AGDD) that allows for the control of its outflow resistance to modulate intraocular pressure (IOP) in a customized fashion. METHODS. Six A ...

Synaptic and Cellular Organization of Layer 1 of the Developing Rat Somatosensory Cortex

Shruti Muralidhar

In this thesis, we systematically characterised the circuitry, cellular composition and synaptic connectivity of layer 1 (L1) of the somatosensory cortex of juvenile rats (post natal days 13-16). Electrophysiological and morphological parameters were measu ...

Deep thiopental anesthesia alters steady-state glucose homeostasis but not the neurochemical profile of rat cortex

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

Barbiturates are regularly used as an anesthetic for animal experimentation and clinical procedures and are frequently provided with solubilizing compounds, such as ethanol and propylene glycol, which have been reported to affect brain function and, in the ...

Feasibility of in vivo N-15 MRS detection of hyperpolarized N-15 labeled choline in rats

Rolf Gruetter, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin, Ruud van Heeswijk, Fiodar Kurdzesau

The increase of total choline in tumors has become an important biomarker in cancer diagnosis. Choline and choline metabolites can be measured in vivo and in vitro using multinuclear MRS. Recent in vivo C-13 MRS studies using labeled substrates enhanced vi ...

Modeling the effects of midazolam on cortical and thalamic neurons

Sean Lewis Hill

Controversy exists regarding the site where anesthetics act in the brain to produce sedation and unconsciousness. Actions in the cerebral cortex and thalamus are likely, although the relative importance of each site is unclear. We used in computo modeling ...
