Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Heart Failure.
Abstract: To examine the utility and technical challenges of applying veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute cardiovascular failure in adults with acute and chronic causes of heart failure. The role of mechanical circulatory support in acute...
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on selected diabetic foot wounds continues to be controversial. A holistic approach to diabetes and its comorbidities may be beneficial in the discussion of the proper application of this treatment...
Abstract: A 42 year-old man presented for elective percutaneous lead extraction for pacemaker redundancy. The procedure was performed supine under general anaesthesia via the right femoral vein and was complicated by acute inferior ST elevation and hypotension. Urgent...
Abstract: Just as hip prosthesis, most of the patients undergoing orthopedic lower extremity surgery (OLES) belong to the advanced age group. Sciatic nerve block combined with psoas compartment block is used as a technique alternative to central neuraxial block and...
Abstract: Surgical implant placement in the orbital region for the support of a prosthesis is challenging due to the thin orbital rim and proximity to vital structures. This article reports the use of a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)...
Abstract: Stress induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is becoming increasingly described as an underdiagnosed complication during common medical procedures. Reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (RTC) is a variant of SIC that involves the basal and mid-ventricular segments and...
Abstract: Sirolimus is an immunosuppressive drug used as part of the drug regimen after kidney, liver, and heart transplantation. There have been numerous reports of transplant surgical wound healing complications secondary to sirolimus. The authors present a case of...
Abstract: The altered hemodynamics, and therefore the arterial hypotension is the most prevalent adverse effect after subarachnoid anesthesia. The objective of the study was to determine the exact role of local anesthetic selection underlying spinal anesthesia-induced...
Abstract: To compare the procedural failure rate (PFR), intraoperative rescue analgesia (iRA) probability and postoperative duration of motor block after epidural and intrathecal anaesthesia in dogs undergoing pelvic limb orthopaedic surgery. Prospective, randomized...
