A recent study led by Decan Jiang and colleagues from RWTH Aachen and Heidelberg University Hospitals in Germany has shed light on how porcine models are helping surgical training—particularly in the complex field of kidney transplantation. Pigs are anatomically and physiologically close to humans, making them ideal candidates for surgical training. Practicing renal ...
The role of this potassium channel is fundamental for normal cardiac function, playing a vital role in the termination of the cardiac action potential and ultimately contributing to the heart's rhythmicity. ...
More serious conditions include: High blood pressure Heart problems Type 3 diabetes Liver problems Those dealing with OSA are at increased risk of accidents and have significantly higher rates of cardiac arrest and death. When you stop breathing for ten seconds or longer during sleep and this happens repeatedly each hour, it can lower oxygen levels and ...
Up to 60% of patients with severe AKI who are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) die; the long-term risk of death associated with AKI is also increased. Preclinical models and biomarkers have identified several likely pathways, apparently involving mitochondrial injury, inflammation, cellular death, and profibrotic. The cardiac ...
The patient population consisted of patients who were indicated for ICD implantation for primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death prior to implant. The patient cohort included 22 enrolled patients aged 69.5±8.9 years, 82% were male, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 28.9±8.2, 18% had non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, 14% had ...
Sudden cardiac death is a serious public health issue throughout the Western world, especially within rural communities that cannot be quickly reached by emergency ambulance services. When a person suffers a cardiac arrest, it is vital to invoke the 'chain of survival' process, involving early access to the emergency services hotline, early CPR, ...
