Femoral Popliteal Bypass A femoral popliteal bypass is a procedure to go around (bypass) a blocked artery in the leg. The artery may become blocked with plaque, which is a buildup of fat. Arteries carry oxygen and nutrients to the body. The femoral artery is in the upper part of the leg. It is the main artery that carries blood to the leg. Popliteal arteries are in the back of the knee. These arteries take blood to the lower part of the leg. This procedure uses a graft to bypass the blocked…

The Tuskegee syphilis experiments are perhaps the most well-known example of the unethical treatment of black individuals in medical testing. In 1932, a study was organized involving 600 black men, 399 of them had syphilis (CDC). The goal of the study was to see if no treatment was better than the treatments at the time, which were ineffective and occasionally toxic (Schwartz). The men involved were told they were being treated for “bad blood”, and while the participants were volunteers and were…

about the anesthetic procedure no matter what it nature was, 88% wanted to be informed about postoperative pain and recovery probably due to their ignorance of the different methods available for pain relief. 83% were interested to know about time for ambulation, 77% about the length of anesthesia: they are increasingly trying to estimate the real duration of the surgical act and its consequences since they are not involved in the decision making and lack the knowledge of new anesthetic…

scientific optimism. There was a breakthrough discovery of the gas N2O. Although N2O is not as strong of an anesthetic as ether, “it’s a strong analgesic in virtue of its tendency to promote opioid peptide release in the periaqueductal gray area of the membrane.” (Priestley J Experiments). The use of N2O was then used on soldiers in the Civil War. They would perform the procedures with this anesthetic but unfortunately the pain was just too much and they found out it wasn't working. This sent…

Peng Wen et al. [50] used a novel index MLDoA to identify different anesthetic states of a patient during surgery. Based on the new index MLDoA, the assessment of depth of anesthesia (DoA) for a patient can be clearly monitored. Firstly, a modified Bayesian wavelet threshold is proposed to de-noise the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Secondly, the Hurst exponent is obtained to classify four states of anesthesia: deep anesthesia, moderate anesthesia, light anesthesia and awake. Finally, the…
