Neurodegeneration in Excitotoxicity, Global Cerebral Ischemia, and Target Deprivation: A Perspective on the Contributions of Apoptosis and Necrosis

TL;DR: It is found that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor- and non-NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxic injury results in neurodegeneration along an apoptosis-necrosis continuum, in which neuronal death is influenced by the degree of brain maturity and the subtype of glutamate receptor that is stimulated.

Sedation Depth During Spinal Anesthesia and the Development of Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Repair

TL;DR: Limiting depth of sedation during spinal anesthesia is a simple, safe, and cost-effective intervention for preventing postoperative delirium in elderly patients that could be widely and readily adopted.

Sedation Depth During Spinal Anesthesia and the Development of Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Repair ORIGINAL ARTICLE

TL;DR: In this paper, a double-blind, randomized controlled trial at an academic medical center of elderly patients (≥65 years) without preoperative delirium or severe dementia who underwent hip fracture repair under spinal anesthesia with propo- fol sedation was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Special issues: Glucose and the brain

TL;DR: Moderate hypoglycemia may evoke a significant stress response, behavioral changes, and alterations in cerebral blood flow and metabolism, which must be addressed when caring for patients with cerebral ischemia or intracranial compliance problems.
