Bradycardic Arrest in a Child with Complex Congenital Heart Disease Due to Sugammadex Administration.

The neuromuscular blocking drugs rocuronium and vecuronium are often used during general anesthesia. These drugs temporarily paralyze the patient and thus both facilitate placement of an endotracheal tube and prevent any patient movement during surgery. Reversal of neuromuscular blockade is necessary at the end of surgery to avoid postoperative weakness and adverse respiratory events in the recovery room.

Stenoparib, an inhibitor of cellular poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), blocks in vitro replication of SARS-CoV-2 variants.

We recently published a preliminary assessment of the activity of a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, stenoparib, also known as 2X-121, which inhibits viral replication by affecting pathways of the host. Here we show that stenoparib effectively inhibits a SARS-CoV-2 wild type (BavPat1/2020) strain and four additional variant strains; alpha (B.1.
