In this study, we investigated the effects of desflurane 6%, on olfactory memory. ⋯ We have observed for the first time in the literature that general anesthesia using desflurane (6%) did not affect short-term olfactory memory. Further studies will be necessary to confirm our findings with larger sample size.

Meta AnalysisStatin-treated patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage: a meta-analysis.
The cerebral vasospasm, delayed ischemic neurological deficit (DIND), mortality and poor neurological outcome induced by aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) remain the major causes of morbidity and mortality in aneurysmal SAH patients. The effects of statin-treated for aneurysmal SAH patients were not comprehensively assessed. ⋯ This meta-analysis indicated that the use of statins decreases the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm, whereas did not support a beneficial effect of statins on the occurrence of DIND, death or poor neurological outcomes in patients with aneurysmal SAH.
