Objective: To evaluate the cardiopulmonary effects of anesthetic induction with thiopental, propofol, or ketamine hydrochloride and diazepam in dogs sedated with medetomidine and hydromorphone.
Animals: 6 healthy adult dogs.
Procedures: Dogs received 3 induction regimens in a randomized crossover study. Twenty minutes after sedation with medetomidine (10 microg/kg, IV) and hydromorphone (0.05 mg/kg, IV), anesthesia was induced with ketamine-diazepam, propofol, or thiopental and then maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. Measurements were obtained prior to sedation (baseline), 10 minutes after administration of preanesthetic medications, after induction before receiving oxygen, and after the start of isoflurane-oxygen administration.
Results: Doses required for induction were 1.25 mg of ketamine/kg with 0.0625 mg of diazepam/kg, 1 mg of propofol/kg, and 2.5 mg of thiopental/kg. After administration of preanesthetic medications, heart rate (HR), cardiac index, and PaO(2) values were significantly lower and mean arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, and PaCO(2) values were significantly higher than baseline values for all regimens. After induction of anesthesia, compared with postsedation values, HR was greater for ketamine-diazepam and thiopental regimens, whereas PaCO(2) tension was greater and stroke index values were lower for all regimens. After induction, PaO(2) values were significantly lower and HR and cardiac index values significantly higher for the ketamine-diazepam regimen, compared with values for the propofol and thiopental regimens.
Conclusions And Clinical Relevance: Medetomidine and hydromorphone caused dramatic hemodynamic alterations, and at the doses used, the 3 induction regimens did not induce important additional cardiovascular alterations. However, administration of supplemental oxygen is recommended.

Background: Early neurological deterioration (END) is associated with a poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Effectively lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) can improve the stability of atherosclerotic plaque and reduce post-stroke inflammation, which may be an effective means to lower the incidence of END. The objective of this study was to determine the preventive effects of evolocumab on END in patients with non-cardiogenic AIS.

In fluvial environments, the shifting of river channels and bank erosion are frequently caused by both natural and anthropogenic factors. Riverine hazards like bank erosion and course alterations offer severe issues to the riparian villages along the lower basin of the Tista River in India, which substantially influence the livelihoods of inhabitants living there. This research addressed river channel shifting tendency and identified major bank erosion-prone villages along the lower course of the Tista River and challenges to the livelihoods of the riparian people.

The preservation of the original configurations of root canals during endodontic preparation is crucial for treatment success. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems have been refined to optimize canal shaping while minimizing iatrogenic errors. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the shaping efficacy of the novel R-Motion (RM) and the established WaveOne Gold (WG) systems using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of initial hemostatic resuscitation(IHR) on the treatment of bleeding with recombinant human coagulation factor VIIa after cardiac surgery.
Methods: The clinical data of patients who received rFVIIa hemostatic treatment after cardiac surgery at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021 were retrospectively collected. A total of 152 cases were included in the study.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) myocardial contraction patterns can be assessed using LV mechanical dispersion (LVMD), a parameter closely associated with electrical activation patterns. Despite its potential clinical significance, limited research has been conducted on LVMD following myocardial infarction (MI). This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived LVMD for adverse clinical outcomes and to explore its correlation with myocardial scar heterogeneity.
