Encoding Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Time Series as Images for Classification using Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
Exercise testing has been available for more than a half-century and is a remarkably versatile tool for diagnostic and prognostic information of patients for a range of diseases, especially cardiovascular and pulmonary. With rapid advancements in technology, wearables, and learning algorithm in the last decade, its scope has evolved.

Effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on propofol pharmacokinetics and bispectral index during coronary surgery [PDF]
PURPOSE: Cardiopulmonary bypass is known to alter propofol pharmacokinetics in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, few studies have evaluated the impact of these alterations on postoperative pharmacodynamics. This study was designed to test the

Modified Glucose-Insulin-Potassium Regimen Provides Cardioprotection With Improved Tissue Perfusion in Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery [PDF]
Background Laboratory studies demonstrate glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) as a potent cardioprotective intervention, but clinical trials have yielded mixed results, likely because of varying formulas and timing of GIK treatment and different clinical ...

Prompt-enhanced Hierarchical Transformer Elevating Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Instruction via Temporal Action Segmentation [PDF]
The vast majority of people who suffer unexpected cardiac arrest are performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by passersby in a desperate attempt to restore life, but endeavors turn out to be fruitless on account of disqualification. Fortunately, many pieces of research manifest that disciplined training will help to elevate the success rate of ...

Circulating endothelial cells demonstrate an attenuation of endothelial damage by minimizing the extracorporeal circulation [PDF]
ObjectiveDetachment of endothelial cells may represent serious injury of the endothelium after cardiopulmonary bypass. We investigated whether the extent of endothelial injury is related to the type of cardiopulmonary bypass system used (conventional or ...

Anticoagulation in Cardiopulmonary Bypass [PDF]
Prolonging the activated clotting time (ACT) 2 to 3 times normal is said to provide a “safe” level of anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass. To test this level of anticoagulation 9 monkeys were anticoagulated with heparin at the start of cardiopulmonary bypass so that ACT’s ranged from 201 sec to > 1000 sec (normal 91 sec).

The routine use of fresh frozen plasma in operations with cardiopulmonary bypass is not justified [PDF]
Background: The negative influence of cardiopulmonary bypass on hemostasis has been documented. Although abnormalities in platelet function are reported as the major cause of postoperative blood loss related to this hemostasis defect, fresh frozen plasma

Bypass rewiring and robustness of complex networks [PDF]
A concept of bypass rewiring is introduced and random bypass rewiring is analytically and numerically investigated with simulations. Our results show that bypass rewiring makes networks robust against removal of nodes including random failures and attacks.
