Background: The purpose of this randomized, multi-center phase III trial was to investigate the influence of sevoflurane and propofol on the neuromuscular blocking effects and pharmacokinetic parameters of Org 9426 (rocuronium bromide) in Japanese population.
Methods: Thirty-nine adult Japanese patients participated in this randomized, multi-center study. Neuromuscular function was monitored continuously with TOF-Watch SX (Organon NV, Netherlands) after anesthetic induction with propofol. These subjects randomly received either 0.6 mg x kg(-1) or 0.9 mg x kg(-1) of rocuronium for endotracheal intubation. These two groups were further divided to two anesthetic regiments : sevoflurane group and propofol group. The difference in onset and recovery of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block was statistically analyzed with two-way ANOVA.
Results: Mean duration for maximal block was 76 seconds and 66 seconds, respectively. The duration between Org 9426 administration and 25% recovery of first twitch response was significantly prolonged in patients given 0.9 mg x kg(-1) of Org 9426. Sevoflurane also significantly increased this duration. However, the serum concentration of Org 9426 was not statistically different between the four study groups.
Conclusions: The duration of Org 9426-induced neuromuscular blockade was significantly increased under sevoflurane anesthesia compared to propofol anesthesia. This difference may be attributed to pharmacodynamic change.

Department of Anesthesiology, Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University, School of Medicine, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:
Aims: This study aimed to investigate whether the histone deacetylase HDAC4 inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA), could reverse resistance to non-depolarizing muscle relaxants (NDMRs) caused by burn injuries.
Materials And Methods: A rat burn injury model was established, in which TSA was administered to inhibit HDAC4 expression. The potency of rocuronium was assessed through tension tests, and the levels of HDAC4 and myogenin proteins were determined using Western blot.

American alligators () are an important apex predator of semiaquatic habitats of the southern United States. Commercial alligator farming has grown in the last several decades, leading to a need to understand the health conditions that affect this species to ensure appropriate management and welfare. The aims of this study were 1) to establish and describe normative data including results of common ophthalmic diagnostic tests and conjunctival flora, 2) document ocular pathology in this population, and 3) assess the effect of topical rocuronium bromide and 10% phenylephrine for facilitating pharmacologic mydriasis.

Background: Patients with severe respiratory failure have high mortality and need various interventions. However, the impact of intensivists on treatment choices, patient outcomes, and optimal intensivist staffing patterns is unknown. In this study, we aimed to evaluate treatments and clinical outcomes for patients at board-certified intensive care training facilities compared with those at non-certified facilities.

From the Department of Anesthesiology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Background: Sugammadex was initially approved for reversal of neuromuscular blockade in adults in the United States in 2015. Limited data suggest sugammadex is widely used in pediatric anesthesia practice however the factors influencing use are not known. We explore patient, surgical, and institutional factors associated with the decision to use sugammadex versus neostigmine or no reversal, and the decision to use 2 mg/kg vs 4 mg/kg dosing.
