The fact that PAF-acether elicites acute circulatory collapse in anesthetized dogs supports the hypothesis that its endogenous double is involved in shock state events. The fact that cysteinyl containing leukotrienes has been shown to be released in various shock states, themselves producing noxious effects related to such circulatory disturbances, suggests a possible role of these arachidonic acid metabolites in shock syndrome. The present report summarizes the part played by these mediators in shock developments. More precisely, nanograms PAF-acether IV in anesthetized dogs produced biphasic effects on mesenteric blood flow and inhibited, in dogs and rats, histamine induced gastric acid secretion. These results confirm the distributive component of the PAF-acether circulatory collapse. On the other hand, as leukotrienes, nanograms PAF-acether elicited both plasma extravasation and vasoconstriction in guinea pig skin. Lastly, in conscious mice, lipoxygenase antagonists, but not cyclooxygenase antagonists, inhibited lethal effects of PAF-acether, suggesting a mutual and synergistic action of PAF-acether and leukotrienes in shock state.

The alteration of neurovascular coupling (NVC), where acute localized blood flow increases following neural activity, plays a key role in several neurovascular processes including aging and neurodegeneration. While not equivalent to NVC, the coupling between simultaneously measured cerebral blood flow (CBF) with arterial spin labeling (ASL) and blood oxygenation dependent (BOLD) signals, can also be affected. Moreover, the acquisition of BOLD data allows the assessment of resting state (RS) fMRI metrics.

Objectives: The benefit of combining multiple mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) is debated. This review examines patient characteristics across studies to identify differences and assesses if patients with a higher-risk clinical profile receive Impella unloading.
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine if there were significant differences in baseline clinical parameters among patients receiving MCS in addition to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO).

Introduction: Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable deaths in trauma patients, resulting in 1.5 million deaths annually worldwide. Traditional trauma assessment follows the ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) sequence; evidence suggests the CAB (circulation, airway, breathing) approach to maintain perfusion and prevent hypotension.

An increasing number of procedures over the past two decades for aortic stenosis (AS) reflects the combination of an aging population and less invasive transcatheter options. As a result, the hemodynamics of the aortic valve (AV) have gained renewed interest to understand its behavior and to optimize patient selection. We studied the hemodynamic relationship between pressure loss (ΔP) and transvalvular flow (Q) of the normal AV as well as the impact of a variable supravalvular stenosis.

Background And Purpose: Prolonged venous transit (PVT), derived from computed tomography perfusion (CTP) time-to-maximum (T) maps, reflects compromised venous outflow (VO) in acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). Poor VO is associated with worse clinical outcomes, but pre-treatment markers predictive of PVT are not well described.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 189 patients with anterior circulation AIS-LVO who underwent baseline CT evaluation, including non-contrast CT, CT angiography, and CTP.
