Myocardial Stunning

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1994
Myocardial stunning is a mechanical dysfunction that persists after reperfusion of previously ischemic tissue in the absence of irreversible damage including myocardial necrosis. Myocardial stunning is an unfavorable phenomenon that is manifest during reperfusion and is caused mostly by events associated with reperfusion.

Thyroid Stunning

Thyroid, 2003
Debates regarding thyroid stunning-a phenomenon whereby a diagnostic dose of radioiodine decreases uptake of a subsequent therapeutic dose by remnant thyroid tissue or by functioning metastases-have been fueled by inconsistent research findings. Quantitative studies evaluating radioiodine uptake and qualitative studies using visual observations both ...

Independency of myocardial stunning of endothelial stunning?

Basic Research in Cardiology, 2007
Vascular endothelial cells play an important role in the control of vascular tone. The reasons for coronary endothelial dysfunction are complex and may involve ischemia/reperfusion injury. We investigated whether endothelial, smooth muscle, and myocardial dysfunction are independent phenomena.Rabbit hearts were rapidly excised without intermittent ...

Stunned myocardium and the attenuation of stunning by calcium antagonists

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1995
Myocardial "stunning" is characterized by a reversible postischemic contractile dysfunction despite full restoration of blood flow. The underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood. Inadequate energy supply and impaired sympathetic neurotransmission may have been excluded.

Halal Slaughter of Cattle: To Stun or Not to Stun?

CABI Reviews, 2023
Abstract The rules governing halal slaughter are derived from the Quran, Hadith and Sunnah. These rules stipulate that at the time of neck cutting and exsanguination, animals must be alive. As a result, many practicing Muslims do not accept pre-slaughter stunning because they believe it can result in the death of animals before bleeding ...

Myocardial Stunning in Man

Heart Failure Reviews, 2003
Myocardial stunning refers to the contractile dysfunction that occurs following an episode of acute ischaemia, despite the return of normal blood flow. The phenomenon was initially identified in animal models, where it has been very well characterised, and there was initial doubt about whether a similar syndrome occurred in humans, and if it did ...

The Effects of Alternative Electrical and Mechanical Stunning Methods on Hemorrhaging and Meat Quality of Broiler Breast and Thigh Muscles

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1996
Five trials were conducted to determine the effects of various alternative stunning and restraining methods on the quality of chicken broiler meat. The stunning methods used were electrical whole-body and head-only stunning with different voltages (25 vs

Stunning of the myocardium: An update

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 1991
When severely ischemic myocardium is reperfused, prolonged myocardial dysfunction--a phenomenon named myocardial stunning--frequently occurs. Stunning also occurs in a variety of other situations. These include myocardium located adjacent to infarcted tissue, transient increase in myocardial O2 demands in the presence of incomplete coronary obstruction,

Therapy for myocardial stunning

Basic Research in Cardiology, 1995
Myocardial stunning, or postischemic dysfunction, is defined as delayed recovery of systolic and/or diastolic function of viable myocardium despite restoration of coronary flow after an ischemic insult (4). The severity and duration of myocardial stunning is highly dependent on the duration and severity of the previous ischemic insult (2).

Stunning and slaughter.

2004
In most of the developed countries, excluding the United States of America, it is a statutory requirement that all animals including poultry slaughtered for human consumption are rendered immediately unconscious (stunning) and they remain so until death supervenes through blood loss (slaughter).
