Repercusión neurológica por cambios en el flujo sanguíneo cerebral en neonatos sometidos a cirugía cardiovascular

Gac. méd. Méx; 156 (2), 2020
Resumen Introducción: La cirugía de cardiopatías congénitas puede generar alteraciones perfusorias cerebrales con repercusión neurológica. Objetivo: Analizar la relación del índice de resistencia (IR) vascular cerebral periquirúrgico con funciones neurológicas mediatas posteriores a cirugía ...

A rare case of kinked reinforced endotracheal tube in an intensive care unit: a case report

Rev. colomb. anestesiol; 48 (1), 2020
Abstract Reinforced endotracheal tubes (ETTs) are regularly applied in anesthetic practices to prevent compression or kinking. Although these tubes are designed to bend easily and prevent obstruction, they still carry a potential hazard of being obstructed following external forces. In this article, we r...

Hipoxemia recurrente y formen oval permeable. Unidad diagnóstica fácilmente inadvertida. Caso clínico

Rev. méd. Chile; 148 (2), 2020
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a prevalent congenital septal atrial defect usually without pathological significance. In certain pathogenic situations, PFO can trigger episodes of recurrent hypoxemia, a specific condition known as platipnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS). We report a 73 years old female prese...

Ketamine ameliorates hypoxia-induced endothelial injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVES: Hypoxia leads to endothelial cell inflammation, apoptosis, and damage, which plays an important role in the complications associated with ischemic cardiovascular disease. As an oxidoreductase, p66Shc plays an important role in the regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apo...

Influência da laserterapia de baixa intensidade no processo inflamatório e na imunomarcação da interleucina–23 e do fator indutor de hipóxia 1-alfa no tecido pulpar de dentes clareados

Introdução: O uso do laser infravermelho (LIV) através da fotobiomodulação, tem demonstrado efeitos benéficos aos tecidos. Objetivos: Avaliar a influência do LIV sobre o processo inflamatório, por meio da imunomarcação da interleucina próinflamatória IL-23, e sobre a angiogênese, por meio da...

Histological analysis of the intestinal wall of newborn rats submitted to hypoxia and reoxygenation to evaluate the protective effect of N-Acetylcysteine

Acta cir. bras; 35 (4), 2020
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effect of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) in newborn rats submitted to hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) conditions in an experimental model of necrotizing enterocolitis. Methods Eight pregnant rats and their 70 cubs were used (5 groups) and exposed to H/R conditions and receive...

Overexpression of bHLH domain of HIF-1 failed to inhibit the HIF-1 transcriptional activity in hypoxia

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is considered as the most activated transcriptional factor in response to low oxygen level or hypoxia. HIF-1 binds the hypoxia response element (HRE) sequence in the promoter of different genes, mainly through the bHLH domain and activates the transcription ...

Métodos Estudo transversal realizado em pacientes ambulatoriais, clinicamente estáveis, portadores de...

CLEC3B protects H9c2 cardiomyocytes from apoptosis caused by hypoxia via the PI3K/Akt pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (9), 2020
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. C-type lectin domain family 3 member B (CLEC3B) is a C-type lectin superfamily member and is reported to promote tissue remodeling. The serum levels of CLEC3B are downregulated in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, ...

Multicystic encephalomalacia: An autopsy report of 4 cases

Autops. Case Rep; 10 (4), 2020
Multicystic encephalomalacia is varying sized cystic lesions in the brain encountered in developing fetuses or infants. These cysts start at the periventricular area and may extend onto the cortex. The cause of the formation of these cystic lesions is secondary to an ischemic or hypoxic insult, which lea...
