aim and background: remote ischemic preconditioning introduces brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion which reduces long term ischemia in orthopaedic surgery. the aim of this study was to evaluate hemodynamic and respiratory effects of remote ischemic preconditioning in lower extremity orthopaedic surgeries. methods: in this clinical trial 40 patients scheduled for lower extremity surgery w...

introduction: during hemorrhagic shock (hs), the kidneys are one of the primary target organs involved. oxidative stress is shown to be enhanced in different models of acute kidney injury (aki). remote ischemic preconditioning (rpc) by brief limb ischemia is considered to be a safe method to protect different organs from further damage. in this study, we investigated the effects of brief hind l...

objective(s):this study aimed to examine the hypothesis that an antiarrhythmic effect might be obtained by ischemic preconditioning of the liver, and also to characterize the potential underlying mechanisms. materials and methods: male wistar rats were anesthetized by thiopental sodium (50 mg/kg, ip) followed by iv injection of heparin (250 iu). remote ischemic preconditioning (ripc) was induce...

Objective: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) as the transient ischemia and reperfusion of the arm is a promising method for protecting different tissue from future ischemia. These effects might be mediated through vascular and endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. We investigated the influence of RIPC on diabetic macular edema (DME) as a chronic ischemic condition in patients who were ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of remote ischemic conditioning on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat muscle flaps histopathologically and biochemically. METHODS Thirty albino rats were divided into 5 groups. No procedure was performed in the rats in group 1, and only blood samples were taken. A gracilis muscle flap was elevated in all the other groups. Microcl...

OBJECTIVES Remote ischemic perconditioning is the newest technique used to lessen ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, its effect in hypertensive animals has not been investigated. This study aimed to examine the effect of remote ischemic perconditioning in spontaneously hypertensive rats and determine whether chronic treatment with Olmesartan could influence the effect of remote ischemic perc...

BACKGROUND We have recently demonstrated that remote ischemic preconditioning reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in animal models. The mechanisms by which the remote ischemic preconditioning stimulus exerts its effect remain to be fully defined, and its effect on myocardial gene expression is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that remote ischemic preconditioning modifies myocardial gene expres...

BACKGROUND Local ischemia before the development of recipient circulation may contribute to the highly variable long-term results of fat grafting. Remote ischemic preconditioning before adipose procurement augments the retention of fat grafts and limits subsequent liposclerosis. However, there is no literature examining what role remote ischemic preconditioning has on the fat graft recipient si...
