Inhalation anesthesia for recording cardiac function in dogs using electrocardiography.

BACKGROUND: Inhalation anesthesia plays a critical role in veterinary cardiology by providing stable conditions for accurate Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings in dogs. Volatile anesthetics such as se...

Thromboembolic ischemic stroke induces neutrophil recruitment and matrix metalloproteinase-9 release to enhance ischemic brain injury.

BACKGROUND: Although increased levels of neutrophils and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the ischemic brain are reported in patients and experimental stroke studies the effects of neutrophils an...

Lipid emulsion attenuates theophylline-induced cardiotoxicity in rat cardiomyoblasts.

Theophylline, a bronchodilator, induces cardiotoxicity due to its narrow therapeutic index. Lipid emulsion is used as a nonspecific antidote. However, its effects on theophylline-induced cardiotoxicit...

Association between the expression levels of miR-17-5p/IGFBP5 and exercise-induced physiological cardiac hypertrophy.

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy (PaCH) leads to heart failure, whereas exercise-induced physiological cardiac hypertrophy (PhCH) represents a benign adaptive response, and counteracts PaCH. Here, we ...

Hemoglobin A1c association patterns with cardiovascular outcomes among patients with diabetes mellitus following percutaneous coronary intervention: A systematic review.

BackgroundCardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This systematic review aims to ev...

Long-Term Cardiac Rhythm Monitoring After Ischemic Stroke: Detecting Atrial Fibrillation in the Era of Atrial Cardiopathy.

Long-term cardiac rhythm monitoring has become a central component of the diagnostic evaluation of patients with ischemic stroke in whom atrial fibrillation (AF) is suspected but not initially detecte...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of camel whey protein (CWP) against myocardial injury in mice with sepsis caused by Gram-positive bacteria or Gram-negative bacteria. ME...

Forgotten guidewire presenting as femoral vein extrusion: A rare complication of central venous access.

Central venous catheterisation (CVC) is a commonly performed procedure for critically ill patients in emergency departments (EDs). Here, we present the case of a rare complication of CVC involving a r...

Low Remote Patient Monitoring Utilization is Strongly Associated with Uncontrolled Hypertension in a Mixed-Race Sample of Urban-Dwelling Patients.

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spurred a tremendous increase in the adoption and use of remote patient monitoring (RPM) for hypertension (HTN) management. However, limite...

Neutrophil Percentage-to-Albumin Ratio as a Novel Biomarker in Patients with Group 1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and life-threatening disease characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance, right ventricular failure, and systemic inflam...

Correlation between super-resolution ultrasound imaging features and microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a critical histopathological determinant of poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Conventional imaging modalities remain limited in their abilit...

Combining partial splenic embolization with hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy in the management of chemotherapy-induced hypersplenism in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases.

BACKGROUND: While partial splenic artery embolization (PSE) has been effectively employed in treating portal hypertension, cirrhosis, and idiopathic thrombocytopenia, its combination with hepatic arte...

CEUS features-based nomogram for predicting early recurrence (ER) of microvascular invasion-negative hepatocellular carcinoma.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and clinical features associated with early recurrence (ER) following surgical resection in patients with microvascular inv...

Choroidal Thickness May Shed Light on Early Coronary Artery Disease.

AIM: To investigate any relationship between choroid thickness (CTh) and coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in its earlier stages before clinically evident. METHODS: The study was performed i...

Middle East Bifurcation Club Consensus Document on Percutaneous Revascularization of Bifurcation Lesions in Association with the National Heart Center - Saudi Health Council.
