Biomarker-guided implementation of the KDIGO guidelines to reduce the occurrence of acute kidney injury in patients after cardiac surgery (PrevAKI-multicentre): protocol for a multicentre, observational study followed by randomised controlled feasibility trial [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery with adverse short-term and long-term outcomes. Although prevention of AKI (PrevAKI) is strongly recommended, the optimal strategy is uncertain.

Inactivation of AXL in Cardiac Fibroblasts Alleviates Right Ventricular Remodeling in Pulmonary Hypertension

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive condition with high morbidity and mortality, largely owing to right ventricular (RV) failure resulting from maladaptive remodeling. Our study provides strong evidence in support of a critical, detrimental role for AXL as a previously unrecognized determinant driving RV fibrotic pathology in PH.

3D Membrane Microstructures for Increased Efficiency in Blood‐Gas Transfer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oxygenators for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are based on hollow fiber membranes. They are associated with many complications, such as thrombosis or systemic inflammation during the therapy. By implementing 3D membrane microstructures for oxygenators, the transfer efficiency of oxygen and carbon dioxide is improved, which can lead to ...

Trigonelline Improves Metabolism and Cardiac Function of HFpEF Mice Via Gut Microbiome Alterations‐Mediated AMPK Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metabolomics analyses reveal that trigonelline is markedly reduced in HFpEF hearts. Trigonelline supplementation alleviates metabolic disorders and improves cardiac function in HFpEF mice via gut microbiota‐mediated AMPK activation. Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent end‐manifestation of cardiovascular ...

Continuous electrocardiogram monitoring in porcine model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Wearable technology for continuous electrocardiogram monitoring can be utilized in porcine models of disease. Abstract As cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality, innovative animal models are vital to demonstrating the translational value of experimental discoveries. Investigations focused on myocardial remodeling after ischemia
