There are a series of pathophysiological changes in patients undergoing open-heart surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) that causes liver hypoperfusion, centrilobular sinusoid ischemia, and subsequent reperfusion injuries, hemolysis, or systemic inflammatory response. These events may
Patient Selection:
Screen ~400 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients followed in Centro Hospitalar do Porto outpatient clinic. All RA patients with regular follow-up will be potentially included.
The investigators also aim to enrol age-matched controls for biomarker comparison.
Experimental
The leading cause of death in the world is due to cardiovascular events, which originate from coronary artery stenosis therefore it affects myocardial blood flow and finally may cause infarction. ST-Segment elevation is an indicator of infarction (STEMI) in electrocardiography (ECG) besides cardiac
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) consists of blood extravasation into the space between arachnoid and pia mater. Bleeding is a consequence of cerebral aneurysm rupture in most cases. It particularly affects females with an average age of 55 years. Despite incidence being only 9 cases out of 1000 people
BACKGROUND. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects millions of people worldwide. Cardiovascular (CV) events cause more than 50% of the mortality risk in CKD patients, and the relative excess mortality is observed in younger patients, below 45 years of age. Decreased renal function led to changes in
The interesting material properties, such as good mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, low density, porosity adaptable, are closely associated to the intrinsic characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), of which BP is made . The high surface development of CNT, in addition to promoting
[Introduction]
It is estimated that 5.5 % of the Danish population suffers from diabetes - corresponding to more than 320.000 persons. Among Danish diabetic patients the yearly incidence of foot ulcers is higher than 3.000 and the prevalence higher than 22.000. Diabetics have a lifetime risk of foot
The Buckypaper (BP) is an innovative material that has attracted the attention of many research groups engaged in the study of its possible applications in various technological fields preliminary to human experimentation. In fact the experimentation, preliminary conducted on animal model, will be
This was a prospective, randomized, single centre, single-blind study. Patients were randomized (1:1) to use Low-osmolar contrast media or iso-osmolar contrast media for TACE.
On the morning of 2th and 5th days after TACE, a hematologic check was performed, the hematologic check including serum
Forty two American Society of Anesthesiologists physical class III-IV patients aged 20-50 years with severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh Class C) due to liver cirrhosis undergoing living donor liver transplantation in the Mansoura University Liver Transplantation Program from 2007 to 2010 were
Acute renal failure induced by radiographic contrast agents is a known complication of coronary angiography. It has been demonstrated that following contrast media application the renal outer medullar blood flow is reduced, resulting in medullar ischemia. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) together with well
