Surface wettability is an important physicochemical property of biomaterials, and it would be more helpful for understanding this property if a wide range of wettability are employed. This study… (More)
The mechanical properties of a series of binary Ti-Cr alloys were investigated. Chromium content ranged from 5 to 20 mass%. Dumbbell- and disk-shaped specimens of each alloy were obtained by casting… (More)
PURPOSE
To examine whether inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity by quinidine affects the central nervous system toxicity of lidocaine and racemic bupivacaine (bupivacaine).
METHODS
Forty… (More)
It has been nearly 15 years since the effectiveness of intravenous lipid emulsion in resuscitation from bupivacaine-induced cardiac arrest was reported by Weinberg et al. [1]. Despite the outstanding… (More)
