BACKGROUND The authors determined the incidence of cardiac arrest and predictors of survival following perioperative cardiac arrest in a large population of patients at a tertiary referral center. METHODS Medical records of patients who experienced cardiac arrest in the perioperative period surrounding noncardiac surgery between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 2000, were reviewed. Logistic ...

mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is rare in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) and usually caused by staphylococcus aureus. we describe a patient with a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta at the proximal vein graft anastomosis site after cabg. culture from the sinus tract of the sternum and from the aneurysm sac was klebsiella pneumoniae. surgical te...

Background: The aim of the study was to determine mechanism Moringa oleifera-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells. cells over-express cyclin E and B1, abrogate G0-G1 G2-M cell cycle arrest, promoting tumorigenesis. Cyclin E, E2F1 telomerase expression, caspase-3 -7 activation were assessed after 24-treatment with M. oleifera leaf fractions. Material methods: Apoptosis through caspase-7 determined qu...

In most organs, leukocyte attachment to the endothelium of blood vessels requires capture and rolling before firm adhesion is initiated by integrin activation and/or redistribution, which can be initiated by immobilized chemokines binding their cognate receptors on rolling cells. Such arrest chemokines are present on the endothelial surface under physiologic or pathologic conditions, necessary,...

Bacterial chromosomal replication forks are very efficient protein machines, moving along the template and synthesizing DNA at nearly 1000 bp/s. Replication by the two forks assembled at the origin continues at this rate for 40 min to copy the entire 4.7 Mb genome. Therefore, it is not surprising that these replication forks do not simply stop spontaneously when their task is complete. Bacteria...

BACKGROUND The content of emergency calls for suspected cardiac arrest is rarely analyzed. This study investigated the recognition of a cardiac arrest by dispatchers and its influence on survival rates. METHODS AND RESULTS During 8 months, voice recordings of 14,800 consecutive emergency calls were collected to audit content and cardiac arrest recognition. The presence of cardiac arrest durin...

AimTo explore if electrographic status epilepticus (ESE) after cardiac arrest causes additional secondary brain injury reflected by serum levels of two novel biomarkers injury: neurofilament light chain (NfL) originating from neurons and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) cells.MethodsSimplified continuous EEG (cEEG) NfL GFAP, sampled at 24, 48 72 h arrest, were collected during the Target ...

Background: Cancer is one of the major health problems worldwide and natural resources are being explored to develop anticancer drugs with fewer side effects. Iranian propolis contains components including flavonoids and polyphenols and has various medicinal properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Ethanolic Extract of Sirch Propolis (EESP) on three br...

AIM OF THE STUDY Evaluation of the treatment, epidemiology and outcome of cardiac arrest in the television franchise Star Trek. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of prospective events. Screening of all episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager for cardiac arrest events. Documentation was performed according to the Utstein guidelines for car...

Current research on domestic violence indicates that intimate partner violence arrest rates have risen as a direct result of the implementation of mandatory and preferred arrest domestic violence laws. However, this research also suggests that part of this increase can be attributed to an increase in the arrest rate of females in cases of domestic assault. In addition, the arrest of both partie...
