A prospective randomized controlled double-blind study comparing auscultation and lung ultrasonography in the assessment of double lumen tube position in elective thoracic surgeries involving one lung ventilation at a tertiary care cancer institute

Swapnil Y Parab, Prashant Kumar, Jigeeshu V. Divatia, Kailash Sharma

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2019;72(1):24-31.

Background: As lung ultrasound (LUS) can be used to identify regional lung ventilation and collapse, we hypothesize that LUS can be better than auscultation in assessing lung isolation and determining...

Amitriptyline inhibits the MAPK/ERK and CREB pathways and proinflammatory cytokines through A3AR activation in rat neuropathic pain models

Yumi Kim, So Young Kwon, Hong Soo Jung, Yoo Jung Park, Yong Shin Kim, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2019;72(1):60-67.

Background: The pain-relief properties of tricyclic antidepressants can be attributed to several actions. Recent observations suggest that adenosine is involved in the antinociceptive effect of amitriptyline. The A3 adenosine receptor...
