Article Synopsis
- Folk medicine has long utilized certain plants to treat various diseases, including those caused by bacteria, in East Asia and Europe.
- Researchers isolated bioactive compounds from the leaves and stems of a plant referred to as PJA, identifying key compounds that inhibit bacterial neuraminidase (NA).
- The study found that specific compounds showed significant NA inhibitory activity, with certain compounds acting as competitive inhibitors and others as non-competitive, demonstrating the potential of PJA as an antibacterial agent.
Purpose: To investigate whether the depth of anesthesia affects the change in the bispectral index (BIS) caused by iv epinephrine during propofol anesthesia.
Methods: Forty women undergoing elective lower abdominal surgery received a propofol target controlled infusion (TCI) to maintain a modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) score of 2 (sedation period). Subsequently anesthesia was induced with propofol TCI 5 mug.
