Esophageal temperature management during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 33, Issue 12, Page 2560-2566, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Esophageal thermal injury (ETI) is a well‐recognized complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Previous studies have demonstrated that direct esophageal cooling reduces ETI during radiofrequency AF ablation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of an esophageal warming device to prevent ETI during cryoballoon

Upper airway obstruction due to aspiration of the tamponading gauze swab placed following severe blood loss during sinus flap surgery in a Shetland pony (Equus caballus)

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 24‐year‐old pony, weighing 130 kg, was presented with chronic sinusitis despite previous tooth extraction and sinus trephination in standing sedation. General anaesthesia was induced for a maxillary sinus flap. Severe haemorrhage occurred, which required tamponade of the sinus using a gauze swab.

Characteristics of pulsed electric field cardiac ablation porcine treatment zones with a focal catheter

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 99-107, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Objectives Pulsed electric field (PEF) therapies employ punctuated energy delivery to kill cells in a volume of tissue through mechanisms that are not dependent on thermal processes. A key component to successful cardiac ablation procedures is ensuring the generation of transmural, contiguous ablation zones, which requires in‐depth knowledge ...

Comparative clinical study of attenuation of hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation using clinical assessment guidance versus neuromuscular block monitoring guidance

open access: yesJournal of Medical and Scientific Research
Background: The hemodynamic response to the stress of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation does not present a problem for most patients, except in cardiovascular or cerebral disease.

A prospective controlled comparative study of haemodynamic responses, intubating conditions to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation by using Macintosh vs. Mc Coy blade laryngoscope

open access: yesMRIMS Journal of Health Sciences, 2018
Background: The invention of McCoy blade in the early 1990s is a modification of the Macintosh blade with a hinged tip. The McCoy blade reduces the amount of force applied during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, thus the increased reflex ...

Using a customizable L stent for laryngotracheal stenosis: Patterns of success and failure

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A recent innovation in the management of tracheostomy‐dependent patients with laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) has been the customizable laryngotracheal stent, made by dividing a T‐tube in half (“L stent”). These L stents can be placed into the subglottis as well as the posterior glottis to prevent rapid re‐stenosis following surgery,

Respiratory and systemic monocytes, dendritic cells, and myeloid‐derived suppressor cells in COVID‐19: Implications for disease severity

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, Volume 293, Issue 2, Page 130-143, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Since the beginning of the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic in 2020, researchers worldwide have made efforts to understand the mechanisms behind the varying range of COVID‐19 disease severity. Since the respiratory tract is the site of infection, and immune cells differ depending on their anatomical location, studying blood is not sufficient to understand ...
