The Effect of Methylprednisolone Treatment on the Cardiopulmonary Bypass-Induced Systemic Inflammatory Response
The results indicate that a single low-dose of methylprednisolone (10mg/kg) reduces the inflammatory reaction during and after CPB, by inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine release and OFR generation after release of the aortic cross-clamp.
Cerebral Activation of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases After Circulatory Arrest and Low Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Our results indicate that phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 may play a prominent role in early cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and endothelial dysfunction.
The Short Term Effects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Neurologic Function in Children and Young Adults
There are no marked adverse neurologic effects of CPB in school-age children and young adults undergoing non-complex open-heart surgery.
Early Hemofiltration Improves Survival in Post-Cardiotomy Patients With Acute Renal Failure
Early and aggressive use of CVVH is associated with better than expected survival in severe ARF after cardiac operations.
Red Blood Cell Aggregation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Pathogenic Cofactor in Endothelial Cell Activation?
RBC aggregation significantly drooped as consequence of blood dilution and blood–material interaction.
How Much Heparin Do We Really Need to Go on Pump? A Rethink of Current Practices
Patients receiving lower dose of heparin had lower postoperative blood loss.
Red Blood Cell Aggregation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Pathogenic Cofactor in Endothelial Cell Activation?
RBC aggregation significantly drooped as consequence of blood dilution and blood–material interaction.
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Monitoring Cerebral Ischemia During Selective Cerebral Perfusion
A sustained drop in rSO2 during aortic surgery is closely related to the occurrence of neurological events following surgery.
Reduced Complement Activation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Does Not Affect the Postoperative Acute Phase Response
Material-induced reduction of the inflammatory response during CPB does not affect the postoperative acute phase response.
Aortic Atheroma Burden and Cognitive Dysfunction After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Although the etiology of NCD is likely multifactorial, our results suggest that aortic atherosclerosis may not be the primary factor in the pathogenesis of post-CABG cognitive changes.
Treatment of Periapical Inflammatory Lesion With the Combination of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Tricalcium Phosphate: A Case Report
In this case report, use of platelet gel in conjunction with TCP in the treatment of periapical inflammatory lesion and the results of 12 months has been reported.
Does Clopidogrel Increase Blood Loss Following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Clopidogrel within 4 days of coronary bypass surgery is associated with increased blood losses and reoperation for bleeding and, according to multivariable models, is an independent risk factor for increased transfusion requirements and prolonged ICU and hospital length of stay.
