Mechanical versus humoral determinants of brain death-induced lung injury

BACKGROUND The mechanisms of brain death (BD)-induced lung injury remain incompletely understood, as uncertainties persist about time-course and relative importance of mechanical and humoral perturbations. METHODS Brain death was induced by slow intracranial blood infusion in anesthetized pigs after randomization to placebo (n = 11) or to methylprednisolone (n = 8) to inhibit the expression o...

اثر متیل پردنیزولون بر ضرب‌العجل درمانی هیپوترمی سیستمیک در درمان ضایعه تروماتیک تجربی خفیف نخاع در رت

    Background and Aim: Many studies have shown the neuroprotective effect of systemic hypothermia in the treatment of spinal cord injury. But the effect of delay hypothermia is not known.The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of Methylprednisolone on the therapeutic window of hypothermia treatment following experimental Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) by measuring the accumulation of Poly...

Intravenous Methylprednisolone, a Possible Cause of the Atrial Fibrillation

       We are presenting a case illustrating atrial fibrillation (AF) following the use of methylprednisolone in a patient with pelvic and femur fracture. A 48- year- old man with no significant past medical history, was admitted to the emergency department after injury in a car accident. He suffered a multiple bone fracture with chief complaints of pain and shortness of breath. He was transfer...

Evaluation of Radiocapitellar Arthritis in Patients with a Second Radiograph at Least 2 Years after Nonoperative Treatment of an Isolated Radial Head Fracture

Background: To study if patients that have a second radiograph 2 or more years after nonoperative treatment of an isolated radial head fracture have radiocapitellar osteoarthritis (RC OA). Methods: We used the database of 3 academic hospitals in one health system from 1988 to 2013 to find patients with isolated radial head fractures (no associated ligament injury or fracture) that had a second ...
