Background: The vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) predicts unfavorable outcomes after cardiac surgery in both children and adults. In our adult population, we investigated whether preoperative levels of vitamin D can predict the VIS and whether both vitamin D and the VIS can predict adverse outcomes following major heart surgery.
Methods: Between 1 October 2021 and 28 February 2022, 300 patients underwent major cardiac surgery at our institution.
Doping glass with semiconductors, particularly with nanostructured semiconductors, has attracted attention due to the large optical absorption cross-sections of the latter. Based on this property, Ni[Formula: see text] (5 wt%) doped phosphate glass and Zn[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text]Te (x = 0.5, 1.

- Advances in medical technology have improved the diagnosis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction, but complications remain lethal and require swift surgical intervention.
- Multimodal imaging, including cardiac ultrasound and computed tomography, plays a crucial role in accurately diagnosing these complications, especially in complex cases.
- The case highlights a rare complication, a pseudoaneurysm of the interventricular septum, illustrating how different imaging techniques work together to confirm diagnosis and inform treatment.
Evaluation of Oxidative Stress Biomarkers, Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines, and Histological Changes in Experimental Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.
Int J Mol Sci
January 2022
The present study aims to compare the oxidative stress biomarkers, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and histological changes induced by three cardiovascular risk factors, namely, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Hypertension was induced with 40 mg/kg body weight (b.w.

However, differences exist between their chemical structure, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties (absorption, bioavailability, metabolism, hydrophilic or lipophilic character, selective or non-selective nature, the presence or absence of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity), which may confer different antiarrhythmic properties to different beta-blockers. The aim of this study was to analyze the current existing evidence for bisoprolol for the treatment of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias.
