The human body is made of many cells and each cell contains many mitochondria. Mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell, because they produce the energy needed for a cell to be healthy and function the way it is meant to. Diseases of the mitochondria affect the way the tissues and cells

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a constellation of symptoms including headache, sleep disturbance, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea, vomiting, or anorexia that commonly occurs in travelers ascending to altitudes above 2,500m. AMS incidence varies based on altitude and ascent profile with rates

Hypothesis Measuring urinary 3-methylhistidine is a simple tool to assess proteolysis in clinical practice. However it is not totally specific of muscle proteolysis because it may reflect an intestinal catabolism. Moreover, its dosage cannot be used in patients with renal impairment especially in

The incidence of traumatic brain injury is widespread. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that 1.7 million TBIs occur each year and that TBI is a contributing factor in about 30% of all injury-related deaths. In addition, about 75% of these TBIs are concussions, or mild TBIs (mTBI). However,

The final stage of weaning from Mechanical Ventilation is known as Spontaneous Breathing Test (SBT). Some studies in the last 20 years have compared different strategies of weaning. The SBT using T-Tube versus Low Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) for 2 hours didn't show differences in successful

1. Aim of study 1.1 Background Opioids are an effective instrument for patients with acute and chronic pain. Their route of administration ranges from transdermal to subcutaneous application through to Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia (IV-PCA). The use of IV-PCA-pumps has considerable

Anaerobic glycolysis quickly provides adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for muscular contraction during high intensity, short duration exercise. The fast rate of glycolysis during anaerobic exercise results in pyruvate formation exceeding pyruvate oxidation resulting in a build up of lactic acid. Lactic

A. Introduction and Review of literature Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is broadly defined as an alteration in mental status and cognitive function occurring in presence of liver failure. The clinical picture of HE arises as a complication of chronic and, more rarely, acute liver disease. HE occurs in

1. Specific Aims /Objectives Specific Aim 1: To determine if Edi is a predictor of extubation readiness. (Hypothesis: an increase of 20-50% in Edi from baseline (prior to ERT) will predict successful extubation.) Specific Aim 2: If the patient fails the ERT - We hope to determine if NAVA will

II. Background 1. Description of the Problem One of the effects of cardiac operations involving cardiopulmonary bypass is reversible myocardial dysfunction lasting a number of days postoperatively. Typically this period of myocardial dysfunction is treated with vasoactive drugs aimed at improving
