Does Magnesium-Supplemented Cardioplegia Reduce Cardiac Injury? A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of magnesium-supplemented cardioplegia versus an inactive (placebo) control cardioplegia on reducing cardiac injury after cardiac arrest surgery, as found by randomized, controlled trials.

Skin Pigmentation Interferes with the Clinical Measurement of Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation
Devices utilizing near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy have been used to assess regional intracerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during anaesthesia for a decade. The presence of wide differences among individuals reduces their applicability to steady-state measurements.

A Novel Software Program for Detection of Potential Air Emboli during Cardiac Surgery
Our objective was to develop software that can automatically detect and quantify air bubbles within the ascending aorta and/or cardiac chambers during cardiac surgery in real time.
An Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Hydrogel Compound Restores Left Ventricular Structure, Function and Ameliorates Adverse Remodeling in a Minimally Invasive Large Animal Myocardial Restoration Model
A combination of PRP, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory factors with intramyocardial injection of hydrogel has the potential to structurally and functionally improve the injured heart muscle
Isolated Hepatic Perfusion as a Treatment for Liver Metastases of Uveal Melanoma
Isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) is a procedure where the liver is surgically isolated and perfused with a high concentration of the chemotherapeutic agent melphalan
