Background: Management of Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is quite challenging, and its prognosis remains poor. Thus, alternative and conventional treatment approaches with lifestyle modifications are needed to enhance the quality of life. One such approach is heart failure reversal treatment (HFRT) that includes Snehana (massage), Swedana (fomentation therapy), Basti (per rectal drug administration), and Hridaydhara.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of focal brain cooling (FBC) on human brain tissue through use of multiple sensing techniques by monitoring cerebrovascular activity and brain temperature.
Methods: Intraoperative brain activity monitoring using a multimodality probe capable of measuring brain temperature, electrocorticography (ECoG) and changes in cerebral hemoglobin concentration was performed in 13 patients with refractory epilepsy. Brain temperature and neurovascular activity were measured beneath and surrounding the FBC device.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) refers to the ratio of afterload (effective arterial elastance) to contractility (end-systolic elastance) as an integrated marker of cardiac performance. We sought to determine whether the echocardiographic VAC ratio, defined using the ratio of LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) to stroke volume (SV), predicted mortality in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU).
Methods: Mayo Clinic CICU patients from 2007 and 2018 were included.
Background: The perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is highly complex and involves numerous factors. There is a strong association between cardiac surgery and perioperative complications. The Brazilian Surgical Identification Study (BraSIS 2) aims to assess the incidence of death and early postoperative complications, identify potential risk factors, and examine both the demographic characteristics of patients and the epidemiology of cardiovascular procedures.

Apnea is a major complication of acute respiratory tract infection in young infants and may lead to the need for ventilatory support. Caffeine is methylxanthine, which is considered the mainstay of pharmacologic treatment for apnea of prematurity. On the basis of neonatal guidelines, caffeine has been used as a respiratory stimulant for the treatment of acute respiratory tract infection-related apnea, despite low evidence of its ability to improve clinical outcomes.
