The World Health Organization recognizes that aging is a life-long process. Aging is a universal phenomenon, and the number of people aged ≥65 years is expected to increase exponentially over the next 30 to 50 years. Thus, the universality and globalization of aging requires that our interconnected societies be equipped to meet the needs of humans across all developmental and life stages.

- The study aimed to evaluate whether protamine administration increases pulmonary artery pressures (PAPs) in patients undergoing specific heart surgeries, like pulmonary artery reconstruction and unifocalization.
- Conducted as a retrospective study using data from a pediatric heart center, researchers analyzed outcomes after protamine and calcium were administered, revealing significant increases in PAP at intervals post-administration.
- The findings indicated that protamine led to a notable rise in PAP after surgery, while coadministering calcium did not result in a greater increase.
