Case series summary This case series describes the neuromuscular blockade (NMB) following 0.15 mg/kg intravenous (IV) cisatracurium administration in 11 cats undergoing ophthalmological surgery and anaesthetised with isoflurane. Anaesthetic records were analysed retrospectively. Neuromuscular function was assessed by a calibrated train-of-four (TOF) monitor. Cats were 73 ± 53 months old, weighed 4 ± 1 kg and were of American Society of Anesthesiologists’ physical classification 2. Duration of anaesthesia and surgery were 144 ± 27 and 94 ± 24 mins, respectively. The lowest TOF count was zero in four cats, four in six cats and for one cat the TOF ratio never decreased below 31%. The time of onset was between 1 and 6 mins after the administration of cisatracurium and the mean duration of action was 20.4 ± 10.1 mins. Relevance and novel information Cisatracurium at a dose of 0.15 mg/kg IV did not consistently induce a TOF count of zero in all cats. The dose used in these cats did not produce any remarkable cardiovascular side effects. Although the NMB was not complete, the dose given was sufficient to produce central eyeball position, which was the goal of the ophthalmic surgeries.

Abstract A single-cell suspension of normal rat bone marrow is prepared mechanically. This suspension is continuously fractionated in free solution, under sedimentation rate conditions, using 1 g. only. With a sample flow of 2.2 x 106 cells/minute and a 32-minute steady-state residence time in the stable-flow free boundary (STAFLO) flow-cell, the cells exit almost entirely into 7 of the 12 collection bottles. Maximum numbers of different cell types are observed, with good repeatability, in approximately descending order from top to bottom as follows: erythrocytes, "erythroblasts," "immatures," "myelocytes," and mature granulocytes. Major changes are effected relative to the starting marrow composition, and large relative enrichments are achieved for certain cell types. In addition to the rapid, mild, preparative aspect of this study, nominal sedimentation rates can be assigned for the different collection fractions, in the range of 3 x 105 to 4 x 106 svedbergs, thus making a start on this kind of simple physical classification of the cellular elements in this complex tissue.

Areas of the southeast United States have endemic levels of prescription drug use, diversion, and abuse. Because preoperative narcotics use is associated with increased surgical morbidity and increased readmission rates, there is a compelling need to categorize health outcomes of patients maintaining an active opioid prescription. The purpose of this study is to determine the health outcomes of preoperative narcotic users who undergo colorectal surgery within the enhanced recovery (ER) protocol, a set of multimodal interventions designed to reduce postoperative complications. Five hundred and five colorectal surgery patients were identified within the ER protocol at Carilion Clinic. Opioid dependence was defined as an active prescription for 30 days before surgery. Thirty-day outcome variables were defined by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. One hundred and one patients were identified as opioid dependent and 404 as opioid naïve. Groups were comparable in terms of age at surgery, mean body mass index, and presurgical physical classification. Groups fared similarly with regard to readmission (χ2, P > 0.999), reoperation (χ2, P = 0.869), and average length of stay [t(135) = 1.49, P = 0.137]. These preliminary data show that opioid-dependent patients derive benefit equal to opioid-naïve patients within the ER protocol.

Scientific Strategy

The scientific strategy of molecular gastronomy includes modelling ‘culinary definitions’ and experimental explorations of ‘culinary precisions’. A formalism that describes complex dispersed systems leads to a physical classification of classical sauces, as well as to the invention of an infinite number of new dishes
