Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of mortality in Indonesia, and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is frequently employed to manage arterial blockages. Despite its efficacy, the recurrence of heart disease post-surgery is a significant concern, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of its influencing factors. The aim of this study was to examine the factors associated with the incidence of heart disease recurrence after coronary bypass surgery.

Cerebrovascular regulation is critically dependent upon the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide ( ), owing to its effect on cerebral blood flow, tissue , tissue proton concentration, cerebral metabolism and cognitive and neuronal function. In normal environments and in the absence of pathology, at least over acute time frames, hypercapnia is usually managed readily via the respiratory chemoreflex arcs and/or acid-base buffering capacity, such that there is minimal impact on cerebrovascular and neurological function. However, in non-normal environments, such as enclosed spaces, or with pathology, extended exposures to elevations in can be detrimental to cerebral health.

Skeletal muscle relaxants have their place in everyday use in numerous anesthesiological procedures, such as preparing a patient for surgery, supporting mechanical ventilation, and performing effective intubation. These drugs can be divided, based on their mechanism of action, into depolarizing skeletal relaxants, such as succinylcholine, and non-depolarizing skeletal muscle relaxants. Non-depolarizing agents are further categorized, based on their structure, into steroidal (eg, rocuronium) and benzylisoquinoline (eg, atracurium) compounds.

Spontaneous chemical modifications in long-lived proteins can potentially change protein structure in ways that impact proteostasis and cellular health. For example, isomerization of aspartic acid interferes with protein turnover and is anticorrelated with cognitive acuity in Alzheimer's disease. However, few isomerization rates have been determined for Asp residues in intact proteins.

Metabolic acidosis is common in preterm and term newborn infants and may be attributed to a variety of etiologies, potentially requiring base therapy such as acetate or bicarbonate. However, concerns exist regarding potential harm of sodium bicarbonate due to intracellular acidosis, fluctuations in cerebral blood flow, and osmolar load with rapid infusions, with no improvement in survival when used during resuscitation. Alternative approaches to correct metabolic acidosis include the addition of acetate in parenteral nutrition, intravenous lactated Ringer's (LR) solution, and use of oral citrate.
