Optimization of tissue perfusion after cardiac surgery is multifactorial and should be based upon invasive and non-invasive markers. Physiological elements to be considered and supported with medical therapy include: pre and afterload, cardiac contractility, heart rate and rhythm (determining cardiac ...
How does hypertension alter tissue perfusion? Hypertension Hypertension also called high or elevated blood pressure, is a condition that can lead to serious medical complications. Risk factors of hypertension include living a sedentary lifestyle, having an unhealthy diet, eating food high in sodium...
There is currently no penalty for a surgeon declining a kidney at the last minute and no incentive to try to use a kidney that is found to have a repairable injury, a small area of discoloration, or some abnormal numbers on an organ perfusion pump, not to mention if it is now the mid...
The goal of this work was to test the functional role of NO in promotion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production and the vigorous granulation tissue formation characteristic of this wound model. A ventral hernia, surgically created in the abdominal walls of 12 swine, was repaired...
Adequate tissue perfusion is an essential component of oxygenation in critically ill and high-risk surgical patients. Tissue oxygenation is satisfied when tissue oxygen demand corresponds to oxygen consumption (VO 2 ), which is defined as the product of oxygen delivery (DO 2 ) by the oxygen ...

Wound healing medical devices could be integrated into all the classes depending on the technology, type of wound, and depth of the damaged tissue [17,18]. While the action of cosmetic products is restricted to the epidermis, medicines, and medical devices can have a deeper action, either at...
Currently, rodents and pigs are the primary disease models used in cardiovascular research. Generally, larger animals that are more closely related to humans are better-suited disease models. However, they can have restricted or limited use because they are difficult to handle and maintain. Animal ...
The usage of bone scan in patients’ selection is a matter of debate. However, in cases of diffuse metastases of prostate cancer to the axial skeleton in a manner typical of superscan, it may be useful to use the225Ac-PSMA due to its shorter tissue range to preserve the functional marrow...
