Dexmedetomidine Blocks the ERK Pathway by Inhibiting MAP3K8 to Achieve a Protective Effect in Lung Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lung ischemia/reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a primary contributor to morbidity and mortality following lung transplantation. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) protects the lungs from I/R injury, but the underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. This paper examined the protective effect of DEX in LIRI and elucidated the potential regulation involved. LIRI was

Dexmedetomidine as a Ropivacaine Adjuvant in a Thoracic Paravertebral Block Combined With an Erector Spinae Plane Block for Improving Early Quality of Recovery After Transapical Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine (Dex) as an adjuvant for ropivacaine in a thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) combined with an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for improving early quality of recovery and postoperative pain after transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Atelectasis Induced by Thoracotomy Causes Lung Injury during Mechanical Ventilation in Endotoxemic Rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Atelectasis can impair arterial oxygenation and decrease lung compliance. However, the effects of atelectasis on endotoxemic lungs during ventilation have not been well studied.

Suspected congenital oesophageal stenosis in a cat

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 6‐week‐old, female, British shorthair cat was presented with a 4‐week history of regurgitation and a 2‐day history of cough and dyspnoea. Thoracic radiographs revealed an alveolar pattern suggestive of pneumonia secondary to regurgitation, and antibiotic therapy was initiated. After identifying a smooth stenosis with no signs of inflammation

Cost effectiveness of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator: a preliminary analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Background-An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) maybe effective in reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death. The high cost of ICD treatment, however, compared with alternatives raises the question of whether this new technology is an ...

Outcomes after pneumonectomy versus limited lung resection in adults with traumatic lung injury. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Pneumonectomy after traumatic lung injury (TLI) is associated with shock, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and eventual right ventricular failure. Historically, trauma pneumonectomy (TP) mortality rates ranged between 53 and 100%.
