ANESTHETIC EXPERIENCE DURING A LAPAROSCOPIC APPENDECTOMY IN A PREGNANT PATIENT WITH ISOLATED COR TRIATRIATUM SINISTER

Anesthetic experience during a laparoscopic appendectomy in a pregnant patient with isolated cor triatriatum sinister

A 39-year-old pregnant patient with acute appendicitis was planned for emergency laparoscopic appendectomy in the second trimester of pregnancy.Preoperative two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography revealed asymptomatic cor APPLE triatriatum sinisiter (CTS), dividing left atrium into two chambers.There was no associated cardiac anomaly, wall

Membrane properties of striatal direct and indirect pathway neurons in mouse and rat slices and their modulation by dopamine.

D1 Pre-Rolled and D2 receptor expressing striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) are ascribed to striatonigral ("direct") and striatopallidal ("indirect") pathways, respectively, that are believed to function antagonistically in motor control.Glutamatergic synaptic transmission onto the two types is differentially affected by Dopamine (DA), however, l

Neurodegeneration in drop-dead mutant drosophila melanogaster is associated with the respiratory system but not with Hypoxia.

Mutations in the gene drop-dead (drd) cause diverse phenotypes in adult Drosophila melanogaster including early BACKPACK lethality, neurodegeneration, tracheal defects, gut dysfunction, reduced body mass, and female sterility.Despite the identification of the drd gene itself, the causes of early lethality and neurodegeneration in the mutant flies r
