Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the leading causes of poisoning; it inhibits oxygen delivery, subsequently causing ischemic changes and ultimately death by multiorgan failure. Furthermore, thromboembolic episodes due to CO poisoning have been reported....
Chronic Heart Failure
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Heart Failure.
Subarachnoid block with low dose of bupivacaine and sufentanil in patients with coronary artery disease.
Abstract: Subarachnoid block with local anesthetics and opioids enable efficacious spinal anesthesia because of their synergistic effect and permit the use of low-dose local anesthetics, which results in a stable hemodynamic state. The purpose of this study was to...
Reversible myocardial dysfunction and clinical outcome in scuba divers with immersion pulmonary edema.
Abstract: Immersion pulmonary edema in scuba divers is a rare disorder that tends to recur and can be potentially fatal, even in the absence of underlying cardiac disease. Anecdotal cases of reversible myocardial dysfunction have been described in this setting, but...
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy complicating a stroke caused by an air embolism.
Abstract: Systemic air embolism is a very rare (
Early diagnosis and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis can improve survival: an observational intensive care unit cohort study.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, causative pathogens, clinical management and outcomes of patients presenting to a tertiary adult Australian intensive care unit (ICU) with a diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis (NF). This...
Rational use of oxygen in medical disease and anesthesia.
Abstract: Supplemental oxygen is often administered during anesthesia and in critical illness to treat hypoxia, but high oxygen concentrations are also given for a number of other reasons such as prevention of surgical site infection (SSI). The decision to use...
Oxygen cycling in conjunction with stem cell transplantation induces NOS3 expression leading to attenuation of fibrosis and improved cardiac function.
Abstract: Myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with irreversible loss of viable cardiomyocytes. Cell therapy is a potential option to replace the lost cardiomyocytes and restore cardiac function. However, cell therapy is faced with a number of challenges,...
[Myocardial infarction secondary to carbon monoxide poisoning–a study of two cases].
Abstract: The carbon monoxide poisoning still remains a main cause of fatal poisoning. The carbon monoxide poisoning occurs after inhalation of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide binds strongly to molecules, such as cytochrome oxidase, myoglobin, hemoglobin, causing...
Calcific uremic arteriolopathy on multimodal combination therapy: still unmet goal.
Abstract: Background. Calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) or calciphylaxis though generally noted for its high mortality, recent case reports have shown promising results using single agent therapies. However, it is not clear whether combination therapeutic agents...
