A Needle-Shaped Electrochemical Sensor in Platinum for Robust Monitoring of Anaesthetics

A needle-shaped electrochemical sensor based on platinum electrodes is proposed in this paper. These platinum electrodes provide improved mechanical properties with respect to previous prototypes proposed in literature. This makes them suitable for inserti ...

A tool for mapping microglial morphology, morphOMICs, reveals brain-region and sex-dependent phenotypes

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Lida Kanari, Martina Scolamiero

Environmental cues influence the highly dynamic morphology of microglia. Strategies to characterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features, which preclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological phenot ...

Pencil Graphite Needle-Shaped Biosensor for Anaesthetic Monitoring in Human Serum

Sandro Carrara, Danilo Demarchi, Simone Aiassa

Direct and online continuous monitoring of anaesthetic intake by the patient's blood stream improves practices in the critical procedure of anaesthesia. Several systems have been proposed to address this challenge. Electrochemical techniques are highly app ...

Live Demonstration: Quasi-Digital Portable Pen to Monitor Anaesthetics Delivery

Sandro Carrara, Danilo Demarchi, Simone Aiassa, Francesco Grassi

The live demonstration presents the innovative concept of a portable pen-device able to sense anaesthetic compounds over time for improved anaesthesiology practice. A custom Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manage in the event-based quasi-digital domain the sam ...

Quasi-Digital Biosensor-Interface for a Portable Pen to Monitor Anaesthetics Delivery

Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Abuduwaili Tuoheti, Danilo Demarchi, Simone Aiassa

Monitoring of patient response to the anaesthetic drugs is an attractive improvement for achieving a correct balance of sedation level, increasing the chance of success in the right procedure of anaesthesia. Nowadays, there are no commercial tools able to ...

Xenon Recovery at Room Temperature using Metal-Organic Frameworks

Daniele Ongari

Xenon is known to be a very efficient anesthetic gas, but its cost prohibits the wider use in medical industry and other potential applications. It has been shown that Xe recovery and recycling from anesthetic gas mixtures can significantly reduce its cost ...

Energy metabolism in the rat cortex under thiopental anaesthesia measured

Rolf Gruetter, Nathalie Just, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, 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 ...

Automatic Mallampati Classification Using Active Appearance Models

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Matteo Sorci, Anil Yuce, Gabriel Louis Cuendet

Difficult tracheal intubation assessment is an important research topic in anesthesia as failed intubations are important causes of mortality in anesthetic practice. The modified Mallampati score is widely used, alone or in conjunction with other criteria, ...

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 ...

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 ...
