Levosimendan in Cardiac Surgery

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2005
Levosimendan is a new calcium sensitizer with inodilatory properties. There is growing clinical experience with levosimendan given to cardiac surgical patients. The aim of this report was to evaluate the effects of perioperative use of levosimendan in surgical patients with high perioperative risk, compromised left ventricular (LV) function, or ...

Aprotinin reduces cardiac troponin I release and inhibits apoptosis of polymorphonuclear cells during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery [PDF]

, 2008
Objectives: In addition to blood-sparing effects, aprotinin may have cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects during cardiopulmonary bypass-assisted cardiac surgery.

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Cardiac arrest in a child during a combined general epidural anesthesia procedure [PDF]

, 2005
An increased risk of perioperative cardiac arrest in children, in comparison to adults, has been recognized. A number of factors associated with perioperative cardiac arrest have been identified, including young age, comorbidities, and emergency ...

Torsional stability of interference screws derived from bovine bone - a biomechanical study [PDF]

, 2010
Introduction: It has been proposed that individual genetic variation contributes to the course of severe infections and sepsis. Recent studies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the endotoxin receptor and its signaling system showed an ...

Raman Microscopy at the Organic–Inorganic Interfaces in Human Calcified Aortic Valves Shows the Co‐Existence of Whitlockite Crystals and Carbonated Hydroxyapatite‐Mineralized Collagen Fibrils

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study advances our understanding of aortic valve stenosis by capturing spatially resolved chemical and structural changes at the nanoscale. The findings highlight the potential of combined Raman and electron microscopy for understanding calcification mechanisms across diverse tissue types.

Controlling 3D Contractility via Engineered Fibrous Hydrogel Composites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tunable composite contractile assembly (CCA) is developed that can permit or resist contraction without changing cell‐adhesion and density, unlike collagen whose inherent coupling of these ECM cues limits its use as a platform in contractility studies.
