Is minimum alveolar concentration for halothane in the rat resistant to effects of forebrain ischemia and reperfusion?
The absence of effect of ischemic forebrain injury on halothane MAC is consistent with findings made in other models of supratentorial cerebral injury. These results support the contention that anatomic foci for motor responses elicited during MAC determination are localized at levels caudal to the forebrain.
Short vertebral height without endplate fracture is equally prevalent in pre- and postmenopausal women and not associated with low bone density.
