A flexible procedure for multiple cadaveric organ procurement [PDF]
Techniques have been developed which permit removal of the kidneys, liver, heart and other organs from the same donor without jeopardy to any of the individual grafts. The guiding principle is avoidance with all organs of warm ischemia.

ABSTRACT A giant unruptured left sinus of Valsalva aneurysms is extremely rare. Even if asymptomatic, surgical repair should be performed, considering comorbidities, and patient's physical condition. In this case, patch repair with coronary artery bypass, correction of sinotubular junction, and aortic annulus for aortic regurgitation benefited the ...

The antisickling agent, 5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐furfural: Other potential pharmacological applications
Abstract For the last two decades, the aromatic aldehyde 5‐hydroxymethyl‐furfural (5‐HMF) has been the subject of several investigations for its pharmacologic potential. In 2004, the Safo group reported that 5‐HMF has potent antisickling activity by targeting and ameliorating the primary pathophysiology of hypoxia‐induced sickling of erythrocytes (red ...

Diazoxide maintains human myocyte volume homeostasis during stress [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Exposure to hypothermic hyperkalemic cardioplegia, hyposmotic stress, or metabolic inhibition results in significant animal myocyte swelling (6% to10%) and subsequent reduced contractility (10% to 20%).

Acute cardiac inflammatory responses to postischemic reperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass [PDF]
Objectives: The investigation centers on whether there is a reperfusion-induced specific cardiac inflammatory reaction after bypass surgery. Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) leads to systemic inflammation.

ABSTRACT Background Pleural effusions develop frequently after cardiac surgery in humans. Lung ultrasound is an essential non‐invasive tool in the diagnosis and treatment of these effusions. Pleural effusions also develop regularly after preclinical cardiac xenotransplantation experiments. Unlike in the human setting, modern ultrasound devices lack pre‐

Cardioplegia at subnormothermia facilitates rapid functional resuscitation of hearts preserved in SOMAH for transplants [PDF]
Objectives: Hearts preserved ex vivo at 4°C undergo time-dependent irreversible injury due to extreme hypothermia. Studies using novel organ preservative solution SOMAH, suggest that hearts are optimally ‘preserved’ at subnormothermic temperature of 21°C.

Optimal delivery of cardioplegic solution for “redo” operations
Increasing experience suggests that retrograde cardioplegia offers several benefits during cardiac reoperations. However, the need for dissection to allow caval snares for open coronary sinus intubation or to palpate the atrioventricular groove for transatrial coronary sinus intubation may disturb diseased vein grafts or require more dissection than ...

Abstract Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) are crucial techniques for studying cardiac physiology and disease. The accuracy of these techniques is dependent on various aspects of sample preparation and processing. However, standardised protocols for sample preparation of tissues, particularly for fresh‐frozen human left ventricle ...
