The Outcome of Status Epilepticus and Long-Term Follow-Up
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of regular care and patient follow-up. Introduction Status epilepticus (SE) is a condition and most extreme form of epilepsy (1), which leads to abnormal and prolonged seizure (at least 5 min). In case SE persists over 30 min, it may have severe long-term consequences (2). Referring to the new classification scheme of SE, there are two operational dimensions of the definition: time point 1 (T1) is associated with abnormally prolonged seizure, when therapy should be initiated, while time point 2 (T2) is related to the time of on-going seizure activity involving a risk...

Treatment of status migrainosus by general anesthesia: a case report
Conclusion Status migrainosus is a rare disabling complication and anesthetics have been the subject of research in its treatment; the option for general anesthesia with agents that stimulate GABA receptors, propofol and isoflurane, in association with fentanyl, proved effective and should encourage new research.

Effect of different analgesic techniques on hemodynamic variables recorded with an esophageal Doppler monitor during ovariohysterectomy in dogs.
This study compared the efficacy of intravenous (IV) fentanyl and ketamine with lumbosacral epidural lidocaine in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy. Dogs with esophageal Doppler monitoring (n = 112) were included in this retrospective study. All dogs were premedicated with dexmedetomidine and methadone, induced with IV propofol or alfaxalone and maintained using isoflurane and IV fentanyl, IV ketamine, or epidural lidocaine. Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), expired fraction of isoflurane (ETIso), stroke distance (SD), minute distance (MD), peak velocity (PV) and mean acceleration (MA) were recorded before an...
