Background: Acute and critical neurological diseases are often accompanied with elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), leading to insufficient cerebral perfusion, which may cause severe secondary lesion. Existing ICP monitoring techniques often fail to effectively meet the demand for real-time noninvasive ICP monitoring and warning. This study aimed to explore the use of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to provide real-time early warning of elevated ICP by observing cerebral perfusion.

Materials And Methods: To achieve this goal, a clinical and functional study was carried out in the mucous membrane of the alveolar ridge after vestibuloplasty in 80 patients (35 men and 45 women) aged from 18 to 65 years, average age 41.5±1.

Background And Aims: Patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) face elevated risks during various hospitalizations including cardiovascular related admissions. Despite this, limited data exist specifically regarding congestive heart failure (CHF) in the context of AI. This investigation leveraged a comprehensive national database to examine the association between AI and cardiovascular outcomes among patients admitted with CHF.

Objectives: While valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) has demonstrated satisfactory outcomes, its utility in a reoperative sternotomy setting remains uncertain. This study evaluates the perioperative safety and long-term durability of reoperative sternotomy VSRR.
Methods: All consecutive VSRR at two centers from 2005-2020 were included.

Background: Left ventricular unloading is needed in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with severely impaired left ventricular contractility to avoid stasis and pulmonary congestion, and to promote LV recovery. The presence of thrombi in the LV precludes the use of conventional active unloading methods such as transaortic microaxial pumps or apical LV vents. We describe placement of a vent cannula via the left atrial appendage (LAA) as a useful bailout option.
