Treatment of Cardiovascular Dysfunction with PDE3-Inhibitors in Moderate and Severe Hypothermia—Effects on Cellular Elimination of Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate and Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate [PDF]
Introduction: Rewarming from accidental hypothermia is often complicated by hypothermia-induced cardiovascular dysfunction, which could lead to shock. Current guidelines do not recommend any pharmacological treatment at core temperatures below 30°C, due ...

The Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex in Sepsis: Metabolic Regulation and Targeted Therapy [PDF]
Anaerobic glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down into pyruvate and lactate and is the primary metabolic pathway in sepsis. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) is a multienzyme complex that serves as a critical hub in energy ...

Cardiac and vascular effects of diltiazem, dobutamine and amrinone, drugs used after myocardial revascularization [PDF]
Hemodynamic care during postoperative management of myocardial revascularization should include vasorelaxing drugs to insure adequate graft and coronary flow, and stimulation of stroke volume to maintain vascular perfusion pressure. We tested the cardiac

Papaverine effect on superficial vein in thumb replantation procedure: A case study. [PDF]
Key Clinical Message Topical papaverine is an effective vasodilator that can be used for dilating small veins to accept venous couplers for thumb replantation. This technique corrects size mismatches for successful venous anastomosis and minimizes postoperative complications.

Myocardial oxygen consumption, myocardial efficiency, and mechanical efficiency: A review across pathologic and physiologic states. [PDF]
Abstract Myocardial work and oxygen consumption (MVO2) are tightly coupled. The patient's physiological state, presence of disease, heart rate, and microvascular control of oxygen delivery all combine to maintain this relationship. The myocardial efficiency (MyoEff) of the heart is determined by the ratio of stroke‐work (SW) divided by MVO2, whereas ...

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) and renal dysfunction after heart transplantation are common and serious complications. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has been shown to increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and exert renoprotective effects when used for the prevention/treatment of AKI in cardiac surgery.

International consensus statement on allergy and rhinology: Allergic rhinitis – 2023
Abstract Background In the 5 years that have passed since the publication of the 2018 International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Allergic Rhinitis (ICAR‐Allergic Rhinitis 2018), the literature has expanded substantially. The ICAR‐Allergic Rhinitis 2023 update presents 144 individual topics on allergic rhinitis (AR), expanded by over 40

Abstract Aims Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) is increasingly being used to support patients in cardiogenic shock (CS). Early determination of disposition is paramount, as longer durations of support have been associated with worse outcomes.
