Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the availability and quality of free, open-access medical education resources for anesthesiology, highlighting inequities due to many resources being paywalled or unavailable.
- A search was conducted for educational websites relevant to anesthesia providers from 2009 to 2020, resulting in the evaluation of 37 suitable websites for their content and quality using a specified evaluation tool.
- Results showed that the most common materials were videos and text resources, with limited editorial oversight and opportunities for interactivity, indicating room for improvement in the quality of these educational sites.
Aims: Mice unable to locally regenerate corticosterone due to deficiency of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1) have enhanced angiogenesis during acute myocardial infarct healing. The present study investigates the hypotheses that in these mice (i) inflammation and angiogenic signalling are promoted and (ii) longer-term remodelling and function are improved.
Methods And Results: Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced by coronary artery ligation in 11βHSD1(-/-) and wild-type (C57BL/6) mice.
We investigated the effects on urinary steroid and electrolyte excretion and renal gene expression of chronic infusions of ACTH in the mouse. ACTH caused a sustained increase in corticosteroid excretion; aldosterone excretion was only transiently elevated. There was an increase in the excretion of deoxycorticosterone, a weak mineralocorticoid, to levels of physiological significance.
