    Zusammenfassung: Anästhesisten und Operateure sehen sich zunehmend mit Patienten konfrontiert, die unter einer medikamentösen Dauertherapie stehen. Ein Teil dieser Medikamente können mit Anästhetika oder anästhesiologischen und/oder chirurgischen Interventionen interagieren. Als Folge können Komplikationen wie Blutungen, Ischämien, Infektionen oder schwere Kreislaufreaktionen auftreten. Andererseits birgt oft gerade das perioperative Absetzen von Medikamenten die größere Gefahr. Der Anteil ambulant durchgeführter Operationen hat in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen und wird voraussichtlich auch in Zukunft zunehmen. Seit Einführung der Fallpauschalen (in der Schweiz bevorstehend) wird der Patient in der Regel erst am Vortag der Operation stationär aufgenommen. Somit sind sowohl zuweisende Ärzte als auch Anästhesisten und Operateure gezwungen, sich frühzeitig mit Fragen der perioperativen Pharmakotherapie auseinanderzusetzen. Dieser Übersichtsartikel behandelt das Management der wichtigsten Medikamentenklassen während der perioperativen Phase. Neben kardial und zentral wirksamen Medikamenten und Wirkstoffen, welche auf die Hämostase und das endokrine System wirken, werden Spezialfälle wie Immunsuppressiva und Phytopharmaka behandel

    [Perioperative management of long-term medication]

    No full text
    Anesthesiologists and surgeons are increasingly faced with patients who are under long-term medication. Some of these drugs can interact with anaesthetics or anaesthesia and/or surgical interventions. As a result, patients may experience complications such as bleeding, ischemia, infection or severe circulatory reactions. On the other hand, perioperative discontinuation of medication is often more dangerous. The proportion of outpatient operations has increased dramatically in recent years and will probably continue to increase. Since the implementation of DRGs (pending in Switzerland, introduced in Germany for some time), the patient enters the hospital the day before operation. This means that the referring physician as well as anesthesiologists and surgeons at an early stage must deal with issues of perioperative pharmacotherapy. This review article is about the management of the major drug classes during the perioperative period. In addition to cardiac and centrally acting drugs and drugs that act on hemostasis and the endocrine system, special cases such as immunosuppressants and herbal remedies are mentioned

    On the statistical significance of compressed ratios in isobaric labeling: A cross-platform comparison

    No full text
    Isobaric labeling is gaining popularity in proteomics due to its multiplexing capacity. However, copeptide fragmentation introduces a bias that undermines its accuracy. Several strategies have been shown to partially and, in some cases, completely solve this issue. However, it is still not clear how ratio compression affects the ability to identify a protein's change of abundance as statistically significant. Here, by using the "two proteomes" approach (E. coli lysates with fixed 2.5 ratios in the presence or absence of human lysates acting as the background interference) and manipulating isolation width values, we were able to model isobaric data with different levels of accuracy and precision in three types of mass spectrometers: LTQ Orbitrap Velos, Impact, and Q Exactive. We determined the influence of these variables on the statistical significance of the distorted ratios and compared them to the ratios measured without impurities. Our results confirm previous findings1-4 regarding the importance of optimizing acquisition parameters in each instrument in order to minimize interference without compromising precision and identification. We also show that, under these experimental conditions, the inclusion of a second replicate increases statistical sensitivity 2-3-fold and counterbalances to a large extent the issue of ratio compression

    Stochastic and Age-Dependent Proteostasis Decline Underlies Heterogeneity in Heat-Shock Response Dynamics

    Significant non-genetic stochastic factors affect aging, causing lifespan differences among individuals, even those sharing the same genetic and environmental background. In Caenorhabditis elegans, differences in heat-shock response (HSR) are predictive of lifespan. However, factors contributing to the heterogeneity of HSR are still not fully elucidated. Here, the authors characterized HSR dynamics in isogenic C. elegans expressing GFP reporter for hsp-16.2 for identifying the key contributors of HSR heterogeneity. Specifically, microfluidic devices that enable cross-sectional and longitudinal measurements of HSR dynamics in C. elegans at different scales are developed: in populations, within individuals, and in embryos. The authors adapted a mathematical model of HSR to single C. elegans and identified model parameters associated with proteostasis—maintenance of protein homeostasis—more specifically, protein turnover, as the major drivers of heterogeneity in HSR dynamics. It is verified that individuals with enhanced proteostasis fidelity in early adulthood live longer. The model-based comparative analysis of protein turnover in day-1 and day-2 adult C. elegans revealed a stochastic-onset of age-related proteostasis decline that increases the heterogeneity of HSR capacity. Finally, the analysis of C. elegans embryos showed higher HSR and proteostasis capacity than young adults and established transgenerational contribution to HSR heterogeneity that depends on maternal age.ISSN:1613-6810ISSN:1613-682
