Given the increased prevalence of SC use in our country and around the world, dermatologists should continue to familiarize themselves with the common mucocutaneous markers of this substance use. Awareness of signs of SCs use will facilitate earlier diagnose, intervention, and directed treatment.
In this study, we found that sevoflurane causes significantly decreased myometrial contractile activity in pregnant rats. The inhibition of myometrial smooth muscle induced by sevoflurane seems to be mediated, at least in part, via activation of Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels, because inhibition was reduced by tetraethylammonium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
