Mock Circulatory Loop With Autoregulated Renal Circulation Based on Perfusion Pressure for Circulatory Support Devices Evaluation

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Renal autoregulation based on perfusion pressure, defined as the difference between mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure, was successfully implemented in a mock circulatory loop. This provides a platform to assess cardiovascular devices and therapies that may affect both pressures differently, such as ECMO support and intravenous fluid ...

VSED Should Not Be a Pathway to MAiD (Though Both Are Ethically Permissible)

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent changes in aid in dying laws have led some to argue for a pathway from Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) to Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD). Proponents point to the Sontag case as demonstrating the efficacy of the practice. This article first provides an overview of the development of the practice of VSED and MAiD and provides

Pericardiectomy with routine cardiopulmonary bypass: a multicenter, randomized controlled trial

Trials
Constrictive pericarditis is a result of chronic inflammation characterized by thickening and calcification of pericardial fibers, impaired diastolic filling, reduced cardiac output, and ultimately heart failure.

Relationship between High Red Cell Distribution Width and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome after Extracorporeal Circulation

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Objective: Cardiac surgical operations involving extracorporeal circulation may develop severe inflammatory response. This severe inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is usually associated with poor outcome with no predictive marker.

Updates in acute graft‐versus‐host disease: From novel pathogenic mechanisms to emerging therapeutic targets

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract provides a view on selected aspects of the pathogenesis, risk stratification and treatment of acute GVHD. Summary Acute graft‐versus‐host disease (aGVHD) remains a major complication following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT), representing a leading cause of non‐relapse mortality (NRM) and ...

Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...
