there is a new but growing interest in intraoperative administration of sugammadex during Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP) mapping. During surgical interventions, myogenic MEPs are affected by anesthesia. Anesthetics used during such procedures include ketamine, etomidate, propofol, and frequently muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants such as rocuronium dampen the amplitude of MEPs and make monitoring difficult.25 The United States’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved sugammadex as a…

Many students are excited to enter college. There is new freedom, and they are not being nagged by their parents. Students can go to sporting events, parties, and extra-curricular events to meet new people, and maybe even romantic interests (Wilson). However, students are taught to be careful in new situations. There is no telling if someone they meet may be a sexual predator. Many women are told to be cautious of new men they meet, and to always watch their drinks at parties. Although this…

The near death experience was first defined to be a spur of consciousness leading to an altered-reality experience on random individuals who reach the state of clinical death by a lack of oxygen to the brain that implies complete unconsciousness on those individuals (Khanna & Greyson, 2014, p. 1605). Near death experience recounts highlight similarities among those who experience them. Characteristics such as out of body experiences, diving into darkness to then transport into a light-filled…

Marijuana is currently decriminalized in many states, but that doesn’t mean it’s legal. The support for legalizing the substance has gone up over the years. According to a Pew Research Center survey, about six in ten Americans support the legalization of marijuana (Pew Research). That is about 61% of the United States population. This shows that there is a lot of support behind legaliation. Not only do people support the legalization, many are regular users, “A poll conducted by Gallup in the…

Wolf Wagon Jenny Mars ‘Hey Renna. Come here.’ She hesitates; then swivels around. The Freo Doctor blusters in, and tiny white-capped waves roll onto the shore. Pelicans drift on an updraft. She could see the Swan River from here. Room seven, what a great view she thought. He was asleep with his mouth open. Now he was calling out to her again. ‘Get me some Coke and ice.’ She pulls his oxygen mask away from his face so that she can hear him. He waves his hand, and points to his mouth…

counter) and illegal. Prescription drugs are used to prevent as well as treat diseases and illnesses and over the counter drugs are used to relieve symptoms. Drugs can also be classified more specifically by hallucinogens (LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, ketamine, PCP, and MDMA), inhalants (solvents, aerosols, nitrites, and anesthetics), opioids (heroin, opium, morphine, and oxycodone), depressants (barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methaqualone, and GHB), and stimulants (amphetamine, cocaine, and…

The representation of Rave and Drug culture from the 1980’s and why it has always been associated together and how this sparks Moral Panics In this essay I will investigate how rave culture caused such a moral panic and why it was (and still is) thought to be so closely linked with drug use, especially the intake of Ecstasy. Techno music (House) and MDMA would both have survived without each other, but their marriage was mutually beneficial; together they gave birth to rave culture. Rave culture…

INTRODUCTION: The anesthesia-operator model for delivering sedation and general anesthesia in the office-based ambulatory outpatient setting is a hallmark of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). Office–based anesthesia is safe and has a high level of patient satisfaction.[1] Closed-claims data from Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons National Insurance Company (OMSNIC), however, indicate that the most frequent reason for transfer of a sedated patient to an emergency room was respiratory distress.[2]…

There are millions of people that pray for medical marijuana to become readily available in the United States, but those people are unaware of the true disadvantages cannabis would bring. Though marijuana may work for some, most Americans would not benefit from the legalization of medical marijuana, and patients who would be able to use cannabis would be better off sticking to the prescriptions their doctors prescribe despite any alarming side effects. Despite being able to help a few thousand,…
