Identification of the growth arrest and DNA damage protein GADD34 in the normal human heart and demonstration of alterations in expression following myocardial ischaemia [PDF]
Growth arrest and DNA damage protein 34 (GADD34) is a multifunctional protein upregulated in response to cellular stress and is believed to mediate DNA repair and restore protein synthesis. In the present study we have examined GADD34 immunoreactivity in

Beyond dichotomy: patterns and amplitudes of SSEPs and neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest
Background We hypothesized that the absence of P25 and the N20–P25 amplitude in somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) have higher sensitivity than the absence of N20 for poor neurological outcomes, and we evaluated the ability of SSEPs to predict long ...

Therapeutic hypothermia and neurological outcome after cardiac arrest [PDF]
Introduction/Aim. The most important clinically relevant cause of global cerebral ischemia is cardiac arrest. Clinical studies showed a marked neuroprotective effect of mild hypothermia in resuscitation.

Modulation of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in the Isolated Guinea Pig Beating Heart by Potassium and Lidocaine Cardioplegia: Implications for Cardioprotection [PDF]
Mitochondria are damaged by cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury but can contribute to cardioprotection. We tested if hyperkalemic cardioplegia (CP) and lidocaine (LID) differently modulate mitochondrial (m) bioenergetics and protect hearts against ...

Targeted Temperature Management at 36°C after In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Trial (TTM-36 IHCA Trial): Study Protocol for an Investigator-Initiated, Single-Center, Randomized, Controlled, Assessor-Blinded, Pilot Clinical Trial [PDF]
Background: Targeted temperature management (TTM) has neuroprotective effects in comatose patients despite restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
