Effects of toxic apolipoprotein E fragments on Tau phosphorylation and cognitive impairment in neonatal mice under sevoflurane anesthesia.

by SmartTots | Aug 31, 2022 | Research Articles

Abstract Background: Anesthesia induces Tau phosphorylation and cognitive impairment in young, but not adult, mice. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) may play a protective role in neuronal activity and injury repair, whereas its toxic fragments are reported to induce...

Mild hypothermia fails to protect infant macaques from brain injury caused by prolonged exposure to Antiseizure drugs.

by SmartTots | Aug 31, 2022 | Research Articles

Abstract Barbiturates and benzodiazepines are GABAA-receptor agonists and potent antiseizure medications. We reported that exposure of neonatal macaques to combination of phenobarbital and midazolam (Pb/M) for 24 h, at clinically relevant doses and plasma levels,...

Sevoflurane exposure during the second trimester induces neurotoxicity in offspring rats by hyperactivation of PARP-1.

by SmartTots | Aug 31, 2022 | Research Articles

Abstract Rationale: Fetal exposure to general anesthesia may cause noteworthy neurocognitive impairment, but the mechanisms are unclear. Objectives: Our study designed to explore the potential mechanism of neurotoxicity in offspring rats after sevoflurane exposure to...

S-ketamine administration in pregnant mice induces ADHD- and depression-like behaviors in offspring mice.

by SmartTots | Aug 31, 2022 | Research Articles

Abstract Background: Anesthesia and psychotropic drugs in pregnant women may cause long-term effects on the brain development of unborn babies. The authors set out to investigate the neurotoxicity of S-ketamine, which possesses anesthetic and antidepressant effects...

Undiagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder may be a risk factor for requiring anaesthesia.

by SmartTots | Aug 31, 2022 | Research Articles

In this correspondence, the authors comment on the report by Shi and colleagues1 on the association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and exposure to anaesthesia in early childhood. The debate concerning the clinically relevant neurotoxic effects...
