Background: Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is a common cause of mortality after cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation; however, the specific underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to explore postresuscitation changes based on multi-omics profiling.
Methods: A CA swine model was established, and the neurological function was assessed at 24 h after resuscitation, followed by euthanizing animals.
Neurologic injury after cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the main cause of the low survival rate and poor quality of life among patients who have experienced cardiac arrest. In the United States, as the American Heart Association reported, emergency medical services respond to more than 347,000 adults and more than 7,000 children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year. In-hospital cardiac arrest is estimated to occur in 9.

The therapeutic goal is to inhibit the growth of tumor cells to allowable injury degree and maximize the number of immune cells in the meantime. The reliable controller is derived through the ADP approach to make the number of cells achieve the specific ideal states.

The causes for falls in the elderly are varied, and visual spatial neglect could be 1 contributing factor. Further, the presence of a carotid artery plaque, especially on the right side, might influence the visual spatial attention of the elderly.Our aim was to identify the intrinsic association between carotid plaques and lateralization of spatial attention in the elderly.
