The paper deals with the development of a procedure for using loading tests to predict the development of intraoperative heart failure in cardiosurgical patients. A volumetric loading test (limb elevation) was carried out to assess the mechanisms of responsible for the regulation of performance of the heart and the efficiency of its work. Cardiac output, end diastolic volume index, and ejection fraction were recorded and a hemodynamic response was assessed from their changes. Loading tests enabled the authors to identify 3 types of a hemodynamic response to a volumetric load. The incidence of postperfusion heart failure may be predicted depending on the identified type of a hemodynamic response to the volumetric load given at the very beginning of surgery.

Background: The impact of iron deficiency on COPD morbidity independent of anemia status is unknown. Understanding the association between iron deficiency, anemia status, and risk of hospitalization in COPD may inform an approach to these comorbidities.

Study Design And Methods: Adults ≥40 years from the Johns Hopkins COPD Precision Medicine Center of Excellence data repository with an outpatient iron profile and 1 year of subsequent follow-up time were included in the study.

chitinase-like protein orchestrates cyst wall glycosylation to facilitate effector export and cyst turnover.

bradyzoites reside in tissue cysts that undergo cycles of expansion, rupture, and release to foster chronic infection. The glycosylated cyst wall acts as a protective barrier, although the processes responsible for formation, remodeling, and turnover are not understood. Herein, we identify a noncanonical chitinase-like enzyme TgCLP1 that localizes to micronemes and is targeted to the cyst wall after secretion.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is an important complication in the treatment of heart failure, and its treatment has not made satisfactory progress. Nitroxyl (HNO) showed protective effects on the heart failure, however, the effect and underlying mechanism of HNO on MIRI remain largely unclear.

Methods: MIRI model in this study was established to induce H9C2 cell injury through hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro.
