Post-thoracotomy pain is one of the most severe forms of post-operative pain that can be attributed to muscle incision, rib retraction or resection, and damage to the intercostal nerves. Inadequate control of this post-operative pain can contribute to a deterioration of the respiratory function,
Patients admitted to the Cardiology Hospital, National Medical Center Century XXI, will be included and a permanent pacemaker will be installed due to alterations in atrio-ventricular conduction that meet the selection criteria. They will be explained what the research consists of and they will be
1. Background 1.1 Radiotherapy in lung cancer Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death in both men and women [1]. In stage IV disease platinum-based chemotherapy yields a median overall survival (OS) of 8-10 months [2]. When diagnosed, more than 50% of the
Pectus carinatum (PC) is a deformity of the anterior chest wall which is a common pediatric condition, characterized by an idiopathic overgrowth of the costal cartilages resulting in protrusion of the sternum. There are two subtypes of PC: the chondro-gladiolar variant, which is the most common
Aortic dissection (AD) is the surging of blood through a tear in the aortic intima with separation of the intima and media and creation of a false lumen.
The dissection may occur anywhere along the aorta and extend proximally or distally into other arteries. It occurs most commonly at the proximal
Aspiration pneumonia is a common mechanism for recurrent mechanical ventilation episodes in intensive care patients and leads to longer hospital admissions, increased morbidity, and mortality. When length of the mechanical ventilation is prolonged the translaryngeal tube is changed to a tracheostomy
The Ohio State University CSEAC Scenarios Content expert: Sujatha Bhandary MD The Ohio State University CSEAC 1st Scenario Development Form Scenario Name: Weaning from Cardiopulmonary Bypass Content expert: Sujatha Bhandary MD Date of Development: 8/29/14 Targeted Audience: CA-2, CA-3 anesthesia
The study will enroll patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, who generally have a high risk of ischemic stroke in the 2 weeks following the initial bleed, and patients with clipped or coiled aneurysm. The study intervention will consist of the application a blood pressure cuff around the subjects
Surgery for severe aortic stenosis (AS) prior to symptom onset is controversial. Conventionally changes in valve area and gradient are used to time intervention but myocardial changes may be more predictive of surgical need. This study aims to elucidate the role of diffuse myocardial fibrosis as a
Background:
Blacks have twice the risk of stroke compared to Whites and a recent analysis found that stroke incidence was decreasing in Whites but not Blacks. Identifying new avenues for stroke prevention is important in African Americans.
The Stroke Prevention through Aggressive Reduction of
INTRODUCTION
In ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) timely coronary reperfusion is the primary therapeutic goal to improve patients' outcome and to reduce left ventricular (LV) infarct size (IS). Unfortunately, despite successful reperfusion of the epicardial blood flow an impairment
Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is commonly performed in the NHS and worldwide based on historical evidence of benefit over medical therapy and more recent evidence of benefit over percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). According to the national audit data from the Society
Introduction-Background The reported incidence of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) based largely on autopsy studies varies between 0.4% to 2.25% of the population. At least a third of patients with a bicuspid aortic valve will eventually develop complications which include aortic stenosis, aortic
Very few clinicians treating patients with Syndrome X could dispute that despite an excellent prognosis, the debilitating symptomology and ineffective treatment regimes typical in this condition give patients a miserable quality of life. First identified by Kemp (1), the triad of angina pectoris, a
