MIT Professor Emery N. Brown argues a neuroscientific approach to anesthesiology could reduce side effects, make drug delivery more precise, manage post-operative pain better, and usher in new treatments for sleep or methods for coma recovery.
A new deep-learning algorithm trained to optimize doses of propofol to maintain unconsciousness during general anesthesia could augment patient monitoring, MIT researchers find.
minutes and for the first time the united states had a woman and bomb color who had presidential power and that s a big deal. the vice president we expect her to go to ohio later on today, but the president he ll have to pardon those turkeys later, and i i also had a question. how would he be feeling after that? are you going to want to give up and give a really big speech after you went through all that have today? you probably will. if you ve ever had propofol, 30 minutes of the best sleep you ve ever had. might look quite rest. i lost my dad to colon cancer so i m a routine colonoscopy, you get the best sleep in the world and you re up and at em. it s a routine physical. it s a moment that but it is a moment that will be noted in the history books that america for an hour and 25 minutes had a woman commander in chief. just went to my phone to look at the date. november 19th, 2021. it is the first time that a woman, a woman of color had presidential power.

president will transfer temporarily power to vice president kamala harris today as he undergoes a colonoscopy where he ll be under anesthesia. the president is at walter reed medical center right now for his annual physical, his first since taking office. joining me is cnn s chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta for more. talk me through what it means that the president is getting a colonoscopy. so, this is a procedure, a screening procedure to try and determine if someone is developing any kind of polyps or anything worrisome for colon cancer. it s recommended for really anyone over the age of 45 at periodic intervals. so when you had this procedure, most typically, you re sedated with a medication like propofol or something. that doesn t mean your breathing is taken over or a breathing tube is placed into your trachea. it s a sedation to make the procedure more comfortable. typically takes less than about
