It is important to understand the principles of normal neuromuscular transmission when using neuromuscular blocking agents. The neuromuscular junction consists of the motor-nerve terminus, the ...

The benefits of early continuous neuromuscular blockade in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are receiving mechanical ventilation remain unclear. We randomly assigned ...

September 16, 2010 — Neuromuscular blockade may improve outcomes in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) without increasing muscle weakness, according to the results of a multicenter, ...

Pupil size in response to light could serve as a biomarker for concussion, according to a study published in Life. “A concussive injury to the brain is associated with changes in the PLR [pupillary ...

In medicine, the pupillary reflex or pupillary light reflex, is the reduction of pupil size in response to light. It is a normal response and dependent on the function of the optic nerves and ...

The use of rocuronium and sugammadex for reversing neuromuscular blockade increased dramatically over 6 years in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment. The variation in strategy selection ...

The human retina contains some 100 million photoreceptor cells. When these are stimulated with light, they communicate that information to the brain and we perceive light. Researchers have now ...
