Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...

Immune cell populations and cytokine production in spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes after laparoscopic surgery versus conventional laparotomy in mice [PDF]
Purpose: There is evidence that open as well as minimally invasive abdominal surgery impair post-operative innate and acquired immune function. To compare the impact of these approaches as well as the one of different peritoneal gas exposures on immune ...

Abstract Background Pregabalin reduces excitatory neurotransmitter release and is used for anxiolysis in humans, cats, and horses. The effects of pregabalin on equine recovery following isoflurane anaesthesia are unknown. Objectives To determine if pre‐anaesthetic oral pregabalin influences recovery time and/or quality from isoflurane anaesthesia in ...

Severe inflammatory reaction induced by peritoneal trauma is the key driving mechanism of postoperative adhesion formation [PDF]
Background Many factors have been put forward as a driving mechanism of surgery-triggered adhesion formation (AF). In this study, we underline the key role of specific surgical trauma related with open surgery (OS) and laparoscopic (LS ...

Abstract “Cat scratch colon” (CSC), characterized by spontaneous bright‐red linear markings or mucosal laceration with bleeding due to air insufflation barotrauma, is a rare complication during colonoscopy. These mucosal lacerations can present as superficial tears that do not generally have clinical repercussions or as deeper tears that damage the ...
