Drugs mistakenly administered into the epidural space can have serious neurologic sequelae. This case reports the inadvertent administration of ephedrine during labor in a 17-year-old woman. The possible complications for both the mother and fetus are discussed and compared with other published literature reports.

The study investigated the anxiolytic, antidepressant, sedative/hypnotic and in silico molecular docking properties of the synthetic ephedrine-based derivative of thiourea, 3-benzothioyl-1-(3-hydroxy-3-phenyl-3-propyl)-1-methylthiourea. Safety profile of the compound at various doses was determined in an acute toxicity test. Results showed significant anti-anxiety effects of the compound in all mice studies.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical spine surgery in myelopathy patients presents anesthetic challenges due to the potential for secondary spinal cord injury (SCI), which requires careful management beyond just intubation concerns.
- Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, such as SSEPs and MEPs, is crucial for assessing spinal cord integrity during surgery, especially for patients with conditions like cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
- A case study involving a 73-year-old male with significant cervical deformation underwent successful anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, using advanced monitoring techniques and awake intubation to minimize risks, resulting in a smooth recovery with no new neurological deficits.

Background: In parturients, post-spinal hypotension is common due to loss of sympathetic tone. Compression of the inferior vena cava by the gravid uterus further aggravates it. Various pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic techniques are used to reduce the severity of hypotension.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the understanding and classification of psychotropic medications' effects on brain activity, particularly for treatments related to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
- Researchers utilize advanced neural network models, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models, to analyze Pharmaco-EEG recordings and enhance drug classification accuracy.
- Results show promising performance metrics, with most drugs achieving high F1-Scores, particularly morphine, ephedrine, and fluoxetine, indicating the effectiveness of these models in predicting drug classes based on brain bioelectric signals.

Although rare, local anesthetic use has been associated with adverse central nervous system and cardiovascular adverse events. One complication is local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), wherein the anesthetic agent inadvertently enters systemic circulation resulting in widespread inhibition of fast-gated sodium channels. Organs dependent on aerobic metabolism, such as the heart and brain, are especially susceptible to toxic injury resulting in cardiovascular collapse.
