Cardiac palliative/ correction surgeries in the newborns, infants, and children involve significant morbidity and mortality risks. Kidney function is frequently affected from cardiothoracic surgery in these children. Studies identify the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) to be approximately 54%

Almost 35 years ago, Dr Peter Safar wrote that "cerebral recovery from more than 5 min of cardiac arrest is hampered by complex secondary derangements of multiple organ systems after reperfusion". Actually, these 5 "golden" minutes determine the ability of cerebral neurones to regain ordinary

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an established vasodilator that is released from red blood cells during a variety of stimuli including exercise and exposure to hypoxic environments. Many studies have shown that infusion of ATP can lead to vasodilation similar to that which is achieved during

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States The American Cancer Society estimates lung cancer incidence in the United States for 2018 to be about 234,030 and about 154,050 deaths. In 2012, GLOBOCAN estimated that 1.8 million people were diagnosed with lung cancer,

An increased ∆PCO2 (> 6 mmHg) could be used to identify patients who still remain inadequately resuscitated, when deciding when to continue resuscitation despite a central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) > 70% associated with elevated blood lactate levels. Under steady states of both VO2 and VCO2,

The study collection of PBMC and platelets from 30 patient having Parkinson's disease 30 patients having Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and 30 healthy controls. The collection will be performed either by cytapheresis for half of the patient and by collecting the whole blood for the other half. PBMC

Ticagrelor is a reversibly binding, direct-acting, oral P2Y12 antagonist used for prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. It does not belong to thienopyridines; it is a carbocyclic nucleoside, representing a "first-in-class" cyclopentyl-triazolo-pyrimidine. In

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome with no known etiology. Fibromyalgia is generally diagnosed in patients reporting widespread musculoskeletal pain, and tenderness. In addition to widespread pain, fibromyalgia is also characterized by chronic fatigue, depression, sleep disturbances, and poor

Elective liver resection is performed mainly for benign and malignant liver tumors. The malignant tumors may arise primarily within the liver (hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma) or represent metastases from malignancies of other organs. During hepatic resection, the risk of severe

Creatine plays a pivotal role in brain energy homeostasis, being a temporal and spatial buffer for cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of the cellular energy currency adenosine triphosphate (Wyss & Kaddurah-Daouk, 2000). Recent studies have suggested increased brain utilization of oxygen following
