Introducing Change: An Organization Overview (EP Video)

It was hypothesized that desflurane preconditioning would decrease postoperative release of troponin I and brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).

This pilot study was conducted to explore the relationship between HIPA and cognitive outcome at hospital discharge in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery as a first step toward a longer-term study.

We hypothesized that a human C5a receptor antagonist would specifically inhibit the inflammatory response of neutrophils to simulated extracorporeal circulation, while preserving the C5b-9 pathway for innate immunity.
