Difficulty in weaning and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation in inoperable severe mitral regurgitation: a case report

Heart Vessels and Transplantation, 2018
Objective: Severe mitral valve insufficiency may lead to heart failure and associated hemodynamic repercussions, such as congestion and weaning-induced pulmonary oedema. This slows weaning from mechanical ventilation, increases the length of the hospital

NETosis in the Kidney, Liver, and Lung of Mice With Cecal Ligation and Puncture‐Induced Sepsis and the Ameliorating Effects of Adipose‐Derived Stem Cell Exosomes

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis‐induced organ failure involves dysregulated neutrophil responses, including neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, via NETosis. Exosomes generated from adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) have shown potential in sepsis treatment. This study characterized organ‐specific NETosis in the kidney, liver, and lungs using a murine cecal ...

Pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular dilatation independently determine tricuspid valve insufficiency severity in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension

, 2012
Elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) causes functional tricuspid valve insufficiency (TI). However, the differential contribution of pressure load and right ventricular (RV) dilatation is not well established.

Reference Equations for Peak Nasal Inspiratory and Expiratory Flow: A Cross‐Sectional Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study developed reference equations for peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) and peak nasal expiratory flow (PNEF) in clinically healthy adults using sex, height, and weight. PNIF demonstrated lower residual variability and more stable model performance than PNEF, supporting its potential as a complementary tool for individualized interpretation of ...
