Epidural anesthesia and intrathoracic blood volume. (1993)

Warner, David O, Brichant, Jean-François, Ritman, Erik L, Rehder, Kai

To investigate how epidural anesthesia changes intrathoracic gas volume, high epidural anesthesia was administered to five pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs lying supine, and the total intrathoracic...

Chest wall motion during epidural anesthesia in dogs. (1991)

Warner, David O, Brichant, Jean-François, Ritman, Erik L, Rehder, Kai

To determine the relative contribution of rib cage and abdominal muscles to expiratory muscle activity during quiet breathing, we used lumbar epidural anesthesia in six pentobarbital...

Halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane depress the peripheral vagal motor pathway in isolated canine tracheal smooth muscle. (1991)

Brichant, Jean-François, Gunst, Susan J, Warner, David O, Rehder, Kai

Volatile anesthetics are potent bronchodilators, but the site of action for the dilation is unclear. To determine the site of action of halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane on the peripheral vagal...

Muscarinic receptor subtypes in canine trachea. (1990)

Brichant, Jean-François, Warner, David O, Gunst, Susan J, Rehder, Kai

Prejunctional and postjunctional muscarinic receptor subtypes were characterized in canine trachealis muscle strips. In vitro contractile responses of muscle strips to acetylcholine or electric field...

Direct and neurally mediated effects of halothane on pulmonary resistance in vivo. (1990)

Warner, David O, Vettermann, Jörg, Brichant, Jean-François, Rehder, Kai

It has been suggested that halothane inhibits contraction of airway smooth muscle in vivo mainly by reducing reflex activity in nerves innervating the muscle with only minimal direct effects on the...

Halothane decreases both tissue and airway resistances in excised canine lungs. (1989)

Vettermann, Jörg, Warner, David O, Brichant, Jean-François, Rehder, Kai

Studies of the anesthetic effects on the airway often use pulmonary resistance (RL) as an index of airway caliber. To determine the effects of the volatile anesthetic, halothane, on tissue and airway...

Actions of enflurane, isoflurane, vecuronium, atracurium, and pancuronium on pulmonary resistance in dogs. (1988)

Vettermann, Jörg, Beck, Kai C, Lindahl, Sten G, Brichant, Jean-François, Rehder, Kai

The effects of enflurane, isoflurane, vecuronium, atracurium, and pancuronium on pulmonary resistance and heart rate were studied in 30 vagotomized dogs lying supine and anesthetized with...

Stereospecific effects of ketamine enantiomers on canine tracheal smooth muscle

Pabelick, Christina M, Rehder, Kai, Jones, Keith A, Shumway, Robin, Lindahl, Sten G E, Warner, David O

Ketamine is a potent bronchodilator which relaxes airway smooth muscle (ASM). Clinically, ketamine is used as a 1:1 racemic mixture of enantiomers that differ in their analgesic and anaesthetic...

Listeria monocytogenes multidrug resistance transporters activate a cytosolic surveillance pathway of innate immunity

Crimmins, Gregory T., Herskovits, Anat A., Rehder, Kai, Sivick, Kelsey E., Lauer, Peter, Dubensky, Thomas W., ...

To gain insight into the interaction of intracellular pathogens with host innate immune pathways, we performed an unbiased genetic screen of Listeria monocytogenes mutants that induced an enhanced or...
