No full textEffects of anesthetic management on early postoperative recovery, hemodynamics and pain after supratentorial craniotomy
No full textAbstract
Various clinical trials have assessed how intraoperative anesthetics
can affect early recovery, hemodynamics and nociception after su pratentorial craniotomy. Whether or not the difference in recovery
pattern differs in a meaningful way with anesthetic choice is con troversial. This review examines and compares different anesthetics
with respect to wake-up time, hemodynamics, respiration, cognitive
recovery, pain, nausea and vomiting, and shivering. When compar ing inhalational anesthetics to intravenous anesthetics, either regimen
produces similar recovery results. Newer shorter acting agents accel erate the process of emergence and extubation. A balanced inhalation al/intravenous anesthetic could be desirable for patients with normal
intracranial pressure, while total intravenous anesthesia could be ben eficial for patients with elevated intracranial pressure. Comparison of
inhalational anesthetics shows all appropriate for rapid emergence,
decreasing time to extubation, and cognitive recovery. Comparison
of opioids demonstrates similar awakening and extubation time if the
infusion of longer acting opioids was ended at the appropriate time.
Administration of local anesthetics into the skin, and addition of cor ticosteroids, NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors, and PCA therapy postopera tively provided superior analgesia. It is also important to emphasize
the possibility of long-term effects of anesthetics on cognitive func tion. More research is warranted to develop best practices strategies
for the future that are evidence-base
Observation of a(0)(0)(980)-f(0)(980) Mixing
No full textWe report the first observation of a(0)(0)(980)-f(0)(980) mixing in the decays of J/psi -> phi f(0)(980) -> phi a(0)(0)(980) -> phi eta pi(0) and chi(c1) -> a(0)(0)(980)pi(0) -> f(0)(980)pi(0)->pi(+)pi(-)pi(0), using data samples of 1.31 x 10(9) J/psi events and 4.48 x 10(8) psi (3686) events accumulated with the BESIII detector. The signals of f(0)(980) -> a(0)(0)(980) and a(0)(0)(980) -> f(0)(980) mixing are observed at levels of statistical significance of 7.4 sigma and 5.5 sigma, respectively. The corresponding branching fractions and mixing intensities are measured and the constraint regions on the coupling constants, g(a0K+K-) and g(f0K+K-), are estimated. The results improve the understanding of the nature of a(0)(0)(980) and f(0)(980)

Theoretical thermochemistry and spectroscopy of weakly bound molecules
No full texttextThe weakly bound association products of atmospherically relevant radical species (O₂, OH, NO₂, HO₂ and NO) have been studied theoretically using quantum-chemical methods. The thermodynamic stabilities, which are crucial to determining the probability of formation in Earth's atmosphere, were calculated for the hydrotrioxy radical (HOOO) and peroxynitrous acid (HOONO, an isomer of nitric acid) relative to the radical dissociation products. In the case of HOONO, the experimentally determined values were confirmed. For HOOO, the predicted stability was significantly lower than the experimentally determined value; a conclusion that was supported by later experimental work and indicates that HOOO will not form in significant quantities in Earth's atmosphere. The fundamental and multi-quantum vibrational transitions were also predicted for both the HOONO and HOOO systems. The theoretical work on the HOONO system aided the assignment of experimental spectra and was used to correct equilibrium rotational constants. The HOOO system presented a challenge for the methods used here and work to apply other approaches in describing the vibrational modes is ongoing. Second-order vibrational perturbation theory, combined with a correlated quantum-chemical method and a moderately sized basis set, provides a method for accurately predicting fundamental and low-order multi-quantum transition energies and intensities for many systems (HOOO being an exception). Here coupled cluster theory, at a level which treats one- and two-electron correlation with a correction for three-electron correlation, and atomic natural orbitals basis sets were used in the vibrational calculations. To predict the dissociation energies of weakly bound species with the precision required (due to the small energy differences involved), high-order correlation contributions (a full treatment of three-electron correlation and a correction for four-electron correlation) are included, as is extrapolation to the basis set limit. Other contributions, such as that for the zero-point energy, were also considered. For the HOOO system, one-dimensional potential curves along the dissociation and torsional coordinates were constructed with standard single-reference and equation-of-motion coupled-cluster methods. The latter is better able to describe the nature of a system in the bond-breaking region and the complex electronic structure of a species formed from two radical fragments, one doubly degenerate in the ground state: X²[Pi] OH and X³[Sigma] O₂. A possible barrier to dissociation and the torsional potential for HOOO were investigated.Chemistry and Biochemistr
Search for Pauli exclusion principle violating atomic transitions and electron decay with a p-type point contact germanium detector
No full textA search for Pauli-exclusion-principle-violating K-alpha electron transitions was performed using 89.5 kg-d of data collected with a p-type point contact high-purity germanium detector operated at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility. A lower limit on the transition lifetime of 5.8x10^30 seconds at 90% C.L. was set by looking for a peak at 10.6 keV resulting from the x-ray and Auger electrons present following the transition. A similar analysis was done to look for the decay of atomic K-shell electrons into neutrinos, resulting in a lower limit of 6.8x10^30 seconds at 90 C.L. It is estimated that the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR, a 44 kg array of p-type point contact detectors that will search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76-Ge, could improve upon these exclusion limits by an order of magnitude after three years of operation.
