Local infiltration of anesthetics gives better results for pain and comfort scores then patient controlled anesthesia in total knee arthroplasty Ghent University
Background : Local infiltration of anesthetics (LIA) is an upcoming alternative method for analgesia following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It could replace patient controlled epidural anesthesia (PCEA). The advantages of LIA are faster mobilization, less risks compared to placement of an epidural catheter, and it increases patient care in a quantitative and qualitative way. On the other hand, PCEA provides prolonged analgesia postoperatively. ...
General purpose models for intravenous anesthetics, the next generation for target-controlled infusion and total intravenous anesthesia? Ghent University
Purpose of reviewThere are various pharmacokinetic-dynamic models available, which describe the time course of drug concentration and effect and which can be incorporated into target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems. For anesthesia and sedation, most of these models are derived from narrow patient populations, which restricts applicability for the overall population, including (small) children, elderly, and obese patients. This forces ...

The Order & Complexity Toolbox for Aesthetics (OCTA): A systematic approach to study the relations between order, complexity, and aesthetic appreciation KU Leuven
Do individuals prefer stimuli that are ordered or disordered, simple or complex, or that strike the right balance of order and complexity? Earlier research mainly focused on the separate influence of order and complexity on aesthetic appreciation. When order and complexity were studied in combination, stimulus manipulations were often not parametrically controlled, only rather specific types of order (i.e., balance or symmetry) were usually ...

Inhaled anesthetics : environmental role, occupational risk, and clinical use Ghent University
Inhaled anesthetics have been in clinical use for over 150 years and are still commonly used in daily practice. The initial view of inhaled anesthetics as indispensable for general anesthesia has evolved during the years and, currently, its general use has even been questioned. Beyond the traditional risks inherent to any drug in use, inhaled anesthetics are exceptionally strong greenhouse gases (GHG) and may pose considerable occupational ...
