Objectives/hypothesis: To assess the effects of a typical otolaryngologic dose of 1 mL of 4% lidocaine on penetration aspiration scale scores and participant discomfort during flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing.
Study Design: A prospective pilot study.
Methods: Twenty healthy participants consumed 12 swallows consisting of graduated volumes of milk, water, pudding, and cracker in anesthetized and nonanesthetized conditions. Each participant was randomly selected to begin with the anesthetized or nonanesthetized condition. Each participant returned within 7 days to repeat the study in the other condition. Digital recordings of their evaluations were scored via the penetration-aspiration scale in a blinded fashion. Participants recorded their discomfort and tolerance of each flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing.
Results: The anesthetized condition yielded significantly worse swallowing function (P = .001) than the nonanesthetized condition. The nonanesthetized condition yielded greater discomfort and pain during the procedure (P = .006, .018), greater pain during insertion and removal of the endoscope (P = .002, .003) and less overall tolerance (P = .016) than the anesthetized condition.
Conclusions: A typical otolaryngologic anesthetic dose of 1 mL of 4% lidocaine during flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing predisposed healthy young adults to higher penetration aspiration scale scores (less safe swallowing) than the nonanesthetized condition; however, the anesthetic reduced discomfort and provided better overall tolerance. Future studies need to evaluate the effects of lower doses of lidocaine (0.2 and 0.5 mL) on swallowing function and comfort.

Background: Alexander disease is a rare, progressive leukodystrophy, which predisposes patients to complications under general anesthesia due to clinical manifestations including developmental delay, seizures, dysphagia, vomiting, and sleep apnea. However, study of anesthetic outcomes is limited.
Aims: Our aim was to describe patient characteristics, anesthetic techniques, and anesthesia-related complications for Alexander disease patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging and/or lumbar puncture at a quaternary-care children's hospital.

To prevent motion artifacts in small animal positron emission tomography (PET), animals are routinely scanned under anesthesia or physical restraint. Both may potentially alter metabolism and neurochemistry. This study investigates the feasibility of fully awake acquisition and subsequent absolute quantification of dynamic brain PET data via pharmacokinetic modelling in moving rats using the glutamate 5 receptor radioligand [C]ABP688 and point source based motion correction.

The prevalence of gastric disorders in high-performance horses, especially gastric ulceration, ranges from 50 to 90%. These pathological conditions have negative impacts on athletic performance and health. This study was designed to evaluate changes in gastric pH during a 24 h period and to compare gastrin concentrations at different time points in horses undergoing general inhalation anesthesia and dorsal recumbency.

The giant panda, , serves as a flagship species for biodiversity conservation, embodying the intersection of ecological, evolutionary, and anthropogenic forces shaping the natural world. Hematological parameters serve as crucial indicators for assessing the physiological status of animals. However, our understanding of blood parameters and hemorheology in captive giant pandas under non-anesthetic conditions is limited.

With the increase in the aging population, the global number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) progressively increased worldwide. The situation is aggravated by the fact that there is no the effective pharmacological therapy of AD. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is non-pharmacological approach that has shown very promising results in the therapy of AD in pilot clinical and animal studies.
