Pathophysiological consequences of brain death
Hemodynamic instability after brain death is an universal clinical problem with effects on potential donor organs. Actual shortage of potential donor hearts continues to raise controversial discussion about adequate donor management with regard to graft quality. From the mid eighties numerous studies investigated the effects of brain death on the cardiocirculatory system and other organs. It co...
متن کاملCardiovascular Consequences of Cortisol Excess
Cushing's syndrome is a consequence of primary or, more commonly, secondary oversecretion of cortisol. Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Cushing's syndrome, and excess risk remains even in effectively treated patients. The cardiovascular consequences of cortisol excess are protean and include, inter alia, elevation of blood pressure, truncal obesity, hyperi...
متن کاملThe pathophysiological basis and consequences of fever
There are numerous causes of a raised core temperature. A fever occurring in sepsis may be associated with a survival benefit. However, this is not the case for non-infective triggers. Where heat generation exceeds heat loss and the core temperature rises above that set by the hypothalamus, a combination of cellular, local, organ-specific, and systemic effects occurs and puts the individual at ...
متن کاملThe pathophysiological hypothesis of homocysteine thiolactone-mediated vascular disease.
Accumulating evidence suggests that homocysteine (Hcy) metabolite, the thioester Hcy-thiolactone, plays an important role in atherothrombosis. Hcy-thiolactone is a product of an error-editing reaction in protein biosynthesis which forms when Hcy is mistakenly selected by methionyl-tRNA synthetase. The thioester chemistry of Hcy-thiolactone underlies its ability to from isopeptide bonds with pro...
متن کاملNeutrophil priming: pathophysiological consequences and underlying mechanisms.
1. Neutrophil priming by agents such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha, granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor and lipopolysaccharide causes a dramatic increase in the response of these cells to an activating agent; this process has been shown to be critical for neutrophil-mediated tissue injury both in vitro and in vivo. 2. The principle consequence of priming, aside from a direct effe...
