Electroanesthesia and some thalamic evoked responses

Eustace F. G. Douglas et al. · 1967

Researchers implanted chronic bipolar electrodes in the centre median and ventralis anterior thalamic nuclei of squirrel and stump-tail Macaque monkeys. They applied rectangular current pulses of 70 Hz and 3 ms duration between the inion and nasion to induce electroanesthesia. As current intensity increased, the amplitude of depth evoked potentials decreased gradually and disappeared at anesthesia levels sufficient for surgery. Peripheral sensory responses were similarly depressed, and cross-thalamic responses vanished when surface responses disappeared.

Relative Bursting Strength of Rabbit Sclera After Cryosurgery and Diathermy

George A. Hall, William A. Schlegel · 1967

Researchers compared the bursting strength of rabbit sclera after cryosurgery, diathermy, or no treatment using a device that measured the force needed to rupture the tissue. Six rabbits received paired treatments: cryosurgery in one eye with the fellow eye as control, diathermy in one eye with the fellow eye as control, or cryosurgery in one eye and diathermy in the other. Six weeks after treatment, diathermy-treated sclera required about half the force to rupture compared with control sclera, while cryosurgery-treated sclera showed only a slight reduction.

Morphological Abnormalities Resulting from Radiofrequency Treatment of Larvae of Tenebrio molitor

A. M. Kadoum, H. J. Ball, S. O. Nelson · 1967

Researchers exposed yellow mealworm larvae to radiofrequency electric fields at sublethal levels and observed the resulting adults. Exposures during the sixth instar caused leg malformations and absences, while fifth-instar exposures did not affect leg development. Longer exposure times reduced the number of imaginal legs that developed, and exposures later in the last instar caused more severe damage.

SOME BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE ENERGY

Carl M. Olsen, Clifford L. Drake, Stuart L. Bunch · 1966

Spores of Fusarium solani f. phaseoli treated with microwaves germinated on an "all-or-nothing" basis, while water bath treatment gave a conventional germination pattern. Microwave treatment at 2450 MHz of 0.1N NaOH solution produced hydrogen peroxide, whereas water bath heating to the same temperature did not. Microwave finish-drying of potato chips resulted in higher amounts of triglycerides, diglycerides, and longer chain aldehydes in the extracted oil. Mesophilic bacteria were reduced up to 99% and viable spores of Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Rhizopus were also reduced, while Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells heated to 56°C by microwaves had a respiration rate of 0.57 ul 02/min compared with 2.88 ul 02/min for water bath heating at the same temperature.

A method for recording unit potentials during electroanesthesia

J. Richard Toleikis et al. · 1966

Three studies were conducted on squirrel monkeys with trephined skulls and Delron chambers mounted over the sensory motor cortex. Unit activity was recorded using 3 molar KCl glass micropettes with a tip diameter of approximately 10 μm. The exposure used 70 Hz rectangular current pulses of 3 ms duration with a DC bias of 2.5 mA. A triaxial electrode configuration and differential microelectrode preamplifier minimized the rectangular artifact pulses in the recordings. The current was capable of inducing marked changes in the unit potential firing rate.

Laser irradiation of mouse liver caused histologic disruption and mitochondrial staining loss, while Physarum polycephalum showed central coagulation and peripheral cytoplasmic gelation. Freezing and thawing mouse liver diminished all measured nuclear metabolic activities, with rapid thawing causing greater impairment than slow thawing.
