Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and young adults and accounts for 5% of all pediatric malignancies. The long-standing chemotherapy regimen of doxorubicin and cisplatin with or without methotrexate remains a standard treatment of osteosarcoma.But
Fluid resuscitation is a key determinant in the management of these parturients. Hypovolemia exacerbates organ failure, whereas volume overload results in pulmonary edema. In this setting, the use of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring is associated with reduced mortality.

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) is becoming increasingly prevalent, yet diagnostics, characterization and prognosis of the disease is still uncertain. Multiple contributing factors have been implicated in the development of HFpEF such as but not limited to myocardial fibrosis,
Anesthesia and Vascular Access After final review of protocol eligibility and of MRI safety, vascular access is obtained and sheaths are secured and covered with a sterile drape for transfer to the MRI. The catheterization is performed with continuous recording of electrocardiogram signals,
Nonischemic cardiomyopathy is considered as a variety of structural and functional myocardial disorders in which the myocardium is abnormal in the absence of diseases such as hypertension and coronary artery, valvular, and congenital heart diseases. Classification of cardiomyopathies is complex,
In 1994, it was estimated that 12 million individuals had RF and RHD worldwide , and at least 3 million had congestive heart failure (CHF) that required repeated hospital admissions. A large section of the individuals with CHF required cardiac valve surgery within 5-10 years . The mortality rate for
Background and Significance:
In patients with acute myocarditis (AM), spontaneous improvement can be observed in the majority of cases, but progression towards dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a not rare outcome (around 20% of patients) (Feldmann N Engl J Med 2000;343:1388-98). Differences in the
Epidemiology Incidence of Supraventricular tachycardia is estimated to occur in 1 in 250 otherwise healthy children. About 50% of children with Supraventricular tachycardia present with the first episode in the first year of life.
After infancy there is another surge in incidence in early childhood
A review of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, excluding high-risk patients, compared liberal and restrictive fluid regimens; concluded that it is difficult to define 'liberal' or 'restrictive' protocols in clinical practice. patients undergoing moderate-risk surgery seem to benefit from
To date anthracycline chemotherapy regimens still play a major role in many cancer treatments, approximately 32% of breast cancer patients, 57-70% of elderly lymphoma patients, and 50-60% of childhood cancers survivors are treated with an anthracycline regimen.
Of these patients, approximately
This study will be an open-label parallel randomized pilot study comparing an individualized weight-based torsemide dosing regimen vs. standard outpatient management in patients with a diagnosis of heart failure.The study will include consenting subjects who are admitted to Jacobi Medical Center
This is a pilot study with a descriptive study design.
Anthracycline induced late onset cardiotoxicity, defined in terms of abnormal findings on echocardiography, has been reported to occur in 57% of childhood cancer survivors. Serial monitoring of cardiac function by means of echocardiography
Patient selection and study preparations
Potentially eligible hemodialysis patients, not fitting the exclusion criteria, will provide written informed consent and will be evaluated for the diagnosis of hypertension. If patients are treated with antihypertensive therapy, a brief-wash out from
