Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of rocuronium in sevoflurane-anesthetized Thoroughbred horses.

Objective: To investigate the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of rocuronium administered by bolus injection to sevoflurane-anesthetized horses.

Study Design: Prospective, experimental, crossover study.

Animals: Five healthy adult Thoroughbred horses (body mass 368-470 kg, three females and two males).

Nerve Capping Using Renerve® Synthetic Collagen Conduits for Hand Amputation Neuroma Pain.

Amputated neuromas, a common consequence of peripheral nerve injury, can cause significant pain and may impair daily life. Herein, we conducted a retrospective study on patients who underwent a nerve-capping technique using the bioabsorbable nerve conduit Renerve®, with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. We conducted a retrospective study to assess patients with amputation neuromas of the finger or palm who underwent surgical treatment using the capping technique with the Renerve® conduit between October 2018 and September 2022.

Ceratinadin G, a new psammaplysin derivative possessing a cyano group from a sponge of the genus .

A new psammaplysin derivative, ceratinadin G (), was obtained from the Okinawan marine sponge sp., and the gross structure was clarified through spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses. The absolute configuration of compound was established by comparing its NMR and ECD data with those of the known psammaplysin derivative, psammaplysin F ().

Multi-frame blind deconvolution using X-ray microscope images of an in-plane rotating sample.

We propose a multi-frame blind deconvolution method using an in-plane rotating sample optimized for X-ray microscopy, where the application of existing deconvolution methods is technically difficult. Untrained neural networks are employed as the reconstruction algorithm to enable robust reconstruction against stage motion errors caused by the in-plane rotation of samples. From demonstration experiments using full-field X-ray microscopy with advanced Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror optics at SPring-8, a spatial resolution of 34 nm (half period) was successfully achieved by removing the wavefront aberration and improving the apparent numerical aperture.

Clinical characteristics and results after conservative treatment or interfascicular neurolysis of 100 limbs with spontaneous anterior interosseous nerve palsy: A prospective Japanese multicenter study.

Background: Spontaneous anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) palsy is characterized by the sudden onset of upper limb pain followed by weakness of muscles mainly innervated by the AIN. Although this palsy is conventionally treated conservatively, interfascicular neurolysis to release hourglass-like fascicular constrictions has been recommended. The present study aimed to establish the clinical characteristics and treatment strategy for this condition.
