Pharyngeal function, airway protection and anesthetic agents
(2002-04-17)
reduced resting tone even after recovery to a TOF ratio of > 0.90 while the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle was more resistant.
Pharyngeal function was also evaluated in volunteers randomized to receive propofol, isoflurane or sevoflurane...
On the interaction between a neuromuscular blocking agent and regulation of breathing during hypoxia
(2003-11-14)
similar degree of chemoreceptor depression. Our findings have contributed to a change in attitude towards the clinical consequences of residual neuromuscular block. A TOF ratio of >=0.90 is now recommended for safe extubation, at which levels our research...

(2001-11-15)
The human visual system is highly adept at recognizing objects
independent of changes in viewing conditions, such as viewpoint,

Ephrins off the beaten path
(2003-10-31)
of endogenous ephrin/Eph interactions in these tissues reduces the rate of proliferation, which copies the phenotype of the EphB2/B3 double null mutants. Thus ephrins are capable of both facilitating and attenuating cell proliferation in multiple tissues....
