Anesthesia Depth

Management of equine anesthesia monitoring is still a challenge. Careful monitoring to provide guidelines for anesthesia depth assessment currently relies upon eye signs, cardiopulmonary responses, and the level of muscle relaxation. Electroencephalography, as a non-invasive brain activity monitor, may be used to complement the routinely monitored physiologic parameters. Six horses, undergoing various surgical procedures and anesthesia protocols, were monitored with the use of a Root with Sedline EEG monitor and a routine monitor of life parameters. The life parameters were compared to the changes on the EEG density spectral array observed live during anesthesia. During all procedures the level of awareness was monitored using the EEG, with higher frequency and power of waves indicating a higher level of awareness. It was evident from this that there were variations according to the type of procedure and the anesthetic protocol. Cerebral activity was elevated during painful moments of the surgery and recovery, requiring adjustments in anesthetic concentrations. Evaluation of changes in the spectral edge frequency (SEF) could show the periods when the patient is stabilized. EEG monitoring has the potential to be used in clinical anesthesiology of horses. It was shown that this system may be used in horses under general anesthesia but is currently less effective in a standing horse for diagnostic or minor procedures.

Antihistaminic Drug

The demonstration in a previous study of the effectiveness of an antihistaminic drug in blocking some of the systemic but not the pulmonary vascular effects of endotoxin led to the study of the effect of an inhibitor of serotonin synthesis, alpha-methyl 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (α-m dopa). One group of seven dogs was pretreated with a single dose of 250 mg, and a second group of six animals with three doses of 250 mg, each given at 10-min intervals. Results in these two groups were compared with those in six control animals. Purified E. coli endotoxin, 1 mg/kg, was administered intravenously in all 19 experiments. Intravenous administration of α-m dopa alone had no effect on measured physiologic parameters. Compared with the endotoxin response in control animals, pretreatment with either dose level appeared to have no effect on the magnitude or duration of systemic arterial hypotension, portal venous hypertension, or drop in cardiac output. However, pretreatment with 250-mg and 750-mg doses was associated with significant reduction and abolition, respectively, of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The results are consistent with the interpretation that the pulmonary vasoconstrictive response to endotoxin is mediated through the release of serotonin and that α-m dopa blocks this response by interfering with the synthesis of this intermediary.

Background MRI is attractive for the guiding and monitoring of interventional procedures due to its high intrinsic soft tissue contrast and the possibility to measure physiologic parameters like flow and cardiac function. Method The current status of interventional MRI for the clinical routine was analyzed. Results The effort needed for the development of MR-safe monitoring systems and instruments initially resulted in the application of interventional MRI only for procedures that could not be performed by other means. Accordingly, biopsy of lesions in the breast, which are not detectable by other modalities, has been performed under MRI guidance for decades. Currently, biopsies of the prostate under MRI guidance are established in a similar fashion. At many sites blind biopsy has already been replaced by MR-guided biopsy or at least by the fusion of MR images with ultrasound. Cardiovascular interventions are performed at several centers for ablation as a treatment for atrial fibrillation. Conclusion Interventional MRI has been established in the clinical routine for a variety of indications. Broader application can be expected in the clinical routine in the future owing to the multiple advantages compared to other techniques. Key points  Citation format

Introduction: Millions of children consume school lunches daily. Children from low-income families are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. While studies show improvement in the nutritional quality of school lunches, the effect of school lunch or lunch brought from home on cardiovascular risk factors among children is unknown. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that frequently consuming school lunch is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors when compared with lunch brought from home. Methods: All 15,742 sixth graders enrolled in Project Healthy Schools, a school-based wellness intervention, were included in this cross-sectional study (2004-2015). We examined 10,169 behavioral surveys and 1,845 physiological screenings. We compared self-reported diet, physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviors and physiologic parameters (height, weight, blood pressure (BP) and heart rate) in 2 groups, children who reported eating school lunch daily and those who eat home-prepared lunch daily. The groups were further stratified by socioeconomic status (SES); low SES (<$35,000) or high SES (>$50,000) based on the median household income of the school region. Students in the middle SES range ($35,000-$50,000) were excluded from analysis (n=4230). Results: School lunch students were associated with less healthy behaviors (PA, diet [fruit/vegetable servings, meat and sugary beverage intake], and sedentary activities) and physiologic measures (percent of overweight/obesity, systolic BP and recovery heart rate) compared with students bringing lunch from home in low and high SES groups (Table 1). Conclusions: In this large cohort of children, we observed frequent school lunch consumption, even after adjustment for SES, was associated with less healthy behaviors and physiologic parameters. Further research is warranted to determine whether healthier school lunches would improve cardiovascular health characteristics and health behaviors in middle-school students.

Body weight is frequently too gross as a reference base for physiologic parameters. Adequate techniques are available to measure such components as water and fat, but these procedures are time consuming and require special apparatus. The high correlation, however, between anthropometric circumferences, stature, and body weight makes possible a partition of weight into components, W( A) and W( B). In obese men it can be shown that the “trunk” W( A) component greatly exceeds the weight of W( B) referable chiefly to the extremities. In athletes, W( B) exceeds W( A). The average of W( A) and W( B) closely approximates body weight. From the anthropometric perimeters it is possible to calculate d values which can be used to construct a somatogram to provide quantitative representation of bodily configuration. The technique for procurement of the anthropometric data can be carried out on large numbers of individuals in minimal time and requires only a tape measure. Submitted on April 28, 1961
