Researchers have discovered that common inhaled anesthetics increase the number of amyloid plaques in the brains of animals, which might accelerate the onset of neurodegenerative diseases like ...

Recent studies have raised the troubling possibility that widely used inhaled anesthetics might exacerbate amyloid pathology. Although there is no hard data in human studies to support this idea, work ...

The first successful public demonstration of the inhalational induction of anesthesia took place in the surgical amphitheater of Massachusetts General Hospital on October 16, 1846. The news spread ...

A California physician discusses the impact of inhaled anesthesia on global warming in the July issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, according to news release by the International Anesthesia Research ...
