Early Osmotherapy in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: An International Multicenter Study.
(2020-01-01)
The optimal osmotic agent to treat intracranial hypertension in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains uncertain. We aimed to test whether the choice of mannitol or hypertonic saline (HTS) as early (first ...
Local microvascular leakage promotes trafficking of activated neutrophils to remote organs.
(2020-03-23)
Increased microvascular permeability to plasma proteins and neutrophil emigration are hallmarks of innate immunity and key features of numerous inflammatory disorders. Although neutrophils can promote microvascular leakage, ...
C-type natriuretic peptide co-ordinates cardiac structure and function.
(2020-03-01)
AIMS: C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is an essential endothelium-derived signalling species that governs vascular homoeostasis; CNP is also expressed in the heart but an intrinsic role for the peptide in cardiac function ...
Integration of the Duke Activity Status Index into preoperative risk evaluation: a multicentre prospective cohort study.
(2020-03)
BACKGROUND: The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) questionnaire might help incorporate self-reported functional capacity into preoperative risk assessment. Nonetheless, prognostically important thresholds in DASI scores ...
