Age-related changes in the biochemical composition of the human aorta and their correlation with the delamination strength.

Various studies have correlated the mechanical properties of the aortic wall with its biochemical parameters and inner structure. Very few studies have addressed correlations with the cohesive properties, which are crucial for understanding fracture phenomena such as aortic dissection, i.e.

Trauma associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation based on autopsy reports after the 2015 ERC guidelines.

Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)-related injuries have not been assessed since the 2015 Resuscitation Guidelines were established.

Aim: To describe the incidence and severity of CPR-related injuries, and to evaluate the impact of the 2015 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines on the objective assessment of injuries.

Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study analyzed autopsy reports of patients who underwent CPR.

Correlation between age, location, orientation, loading velocity and delamination strength in the human aorta.

Aortic dissection is a biomechanical phenomenon associated with a failure of internal cohesion, which manifests itself through the delamination of the aortic wall. The goal of this study is to deepen our knowledge of the delamination strength of the aorta. To achieve this, 661 peeling experiments were carried out with strips of the human aorta collected from 46 cadavers.

CPR-related injuries after non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Survivors versus non-survivors.

Aim: There have been no direct comparisons of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)-related injuries between those who die during CPR and those who survive to intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This study aimed to compare the incidence, severity, and impact on survival rate of these injuries and potential influencing factors.

Method: This retrospective multicenter study analyzed autopsy reports of patients who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and were not admitted to hospital.

The comparison of cardiopulmonary resuscitation-related trauma: Mechanical versus manual chest compressions.

Introduction: AIM:: To compare injuries after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) caused by manual or mechanical chest compressions in resuscitated patients with non-traumatic cardiac arrest.

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study was based on autopsy reports of patients who died after CPR; individuals with a traumatic cause(s) of cardiac arrest were excluded. Patients were divided into two CPR groups: mechanical and manual.
