Bupivacaine-Induced Myotoxicity
Modification of Bupivacaine-Induced Myotoxicity with Dantrolene and Caffeine In Vitro: [image: image]BACKGROUND: Local anesthetics, especially bupivacaine, have myotoxic effects in clinically used concentrations and context. Detailed mechanisms of these effects are unknown, but an increase in intracellular calcium levels is suspected to be the most important trigger. Dantrolene and caffeine modify cellular calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of dantrolene and caffeine on bupivacaine-induced myotoxicity in vitro. METHODS:...περισσότερα »
Nitrite Reduces Ischemia-Induced Ventricular Arrhythmias
Nitrite Reduces Ischemia-Induced Ventricular Arrhythmias by Attenuating Connexin 43 Dephosphorylation in Rats: [image: image] BACKGROUND: Ventricular arrhythmias induced by ischemic heart disease are the main cause of sudden cardiac death. Ischemia can cause life-threatening arrhythmias by modulating connexin 43 (Cx43), a principal cardiac gap junction channel protein. The present study investigates whether nitrite can attenuate ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmias and dephosphorylation of Cx43 in a rat model. METHODS: Rats were medicated with normal saline (control, n = 10), ni...περισσότερα »

Speed of Airway Reflex Recovery : The Effect of Anesthetic Choice (Sevoflurane Versus Desflurane) and Neuromuscular Management
The Effect of Anesthetic Choice (Sevoflurane Versus Desflurane) and Neuromuscular Management on Speed of Airway Reflex Recovery: [image: image]BACKGROUND: Nonintubated patients receiving sevoflurane have slower protective airway reflex recovery after anesthesia compared with patients receiving desflurane. We asked whether this difference would remain significant among intubated patients receiving rocuronium or whether the impact of variable neuromuscular recovery would predominate and thus minimize differences between anesthetics.

Remote Sensing, Vol. 8, Pages 99: Hyperspectral Imagery Classification Using Sparse Representations of Convolutional Neural Network Features
In recent years, deep learning has been widely studied for remote sensing image analysis. In this paper, we propose a method for remotely-sensed image classification by using sparse representation of deep learning features. Specifically, we use convolutional neural networks (CNN) to extract deep features from high levels of the image data.

Although the deep features may have high dimensionality, they lie in class-dependent sub-spaces or sub-manifolds. We investigate the characteristics of deep... περισσότερα »
Fibers, Vol. 4, Pages 4: Experiment-Based Sensitivity Analysis of Scaled Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators in Bonded Applications
Fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are a new type of elastomeric base isolation systems. Producing FREIs in the form of long laminated pads and cutting them to the required size significantly reduces the time and cost of the manufacturing process. Due to the lack of adequate information on the performance of FREIs in bonded applications, the goal of this study is to assess the performance sensitivity of 1/4-scale carbon-FREIs based on the experimental tests. The scaled carbon-FREIs are manufactured using a fast cold-vulcanization process. The effect of several factors ... περισσότερα »
