Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine the effective concentration (EC90) of remifentanil needed to minimize cardiovascular responses during tracheal intubation when used with ciprofol in anesthesia.
  • It utilized a biased-coin design up-and-down sequential method (BC-UDM) to adjust the drug dosage based on patient responses, focusing on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) changes.
  • The findings hope to provide insights that will improve patient safety by reducing hemodynamic changes associated with intubation during surgeries.

Objective: Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked dominant disorder that affects ectodermal tissues. In IP, mutations in NEMO lead to the complete loss of NF-kB activation creating a susceptibility to cellular apoptosis in response to TNF-alpha. Recently, a second nonfunctional copy of the gene, Delta NEMO was identified, opposite in direction to NEMO.
