During a period of past five years, 57 patients underwent emergent coronary artery bypass grafting at our hospital. The reason for performing emergent CABG were unstable angina pectoris in 38 patients and acute myocardial infarction in 19 patients. Five patients died postoperatively. Mortality rate was higher in the patients with AMI (15.8%) than in the patients with UAP (5.3%). Among 19 patients after AMI, 7 patients were in cardiogenic shock preoperatively, and two of them died after operation. Though the surgical results for AMI with cardio-genic shock is discouraging, complete revascularization can be performed safely for the patients with UAP and uncomplicated AMI. It appears that optimal timing of the patients with left main shock syndrome should be guided by the relative presence of an element of ischemia or necrosis.

Background: Postoperative complications in body contouring surgery have been linked to several factors, including body mass index, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and skin resection weight. Prior weight loss by surgical means is another predisposing factor for postoperative complications following body contouring. This study aims to examine these previously identified variables, and several others, in the context of a spectrum of abdominal body contouring techniques following bariatric surgery.

The etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear, treatment options unsatisfactory and disease development difficult to predict for individual patients. Dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal microbiota and disruption of the biological clock have been implicated and studied as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Here, we examine the relationship of IBD to biological clock and gut microbiota by using the IL-10 deficient () mouse model for microbiota-dependent spontaneous colitis in combination with altered (4 h/4 h) light/dark cycles to disrupt and time-restricted feeding (TRF) to restore circadian rhythmicity.

The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Cancer Expert Panel is made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, family medicine/general practitioner oncology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/guideline methodologist. The Expert Panel developed a list of 29 clinical/diagnostic scenarios, of which 16 pointed to other CAR guidelines. A rapid scoping review was undertaken to identify systematically produced referral guidelines that provide recommendations for one or more of the remaining 13 scenarios.

Hemodialysis and bioartificial kidney (BAK), which mimic both physical and biological functions, can significantly impact chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Here we report on Hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) with enhanced separation of uremic toxins along with enhanced hemocompatibility and biocompatibility that also promote the growth of kidney cells. The improvement arises from the addition of titanium dioxide (0.
