Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy Raising Concern for Myocardial Ischemia.

Authors:
Arminder Singh Stephanie Everest Lam Nguyen Bradley Casey Manoj Bhandari

Cureus 2022 Feb 10;14(2):e22091. Epub 2022 Feb 10.

Cardiology, Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Fayetteville, USA.

Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC), or Takotsubo syndrome, is considered a reversible dysfunction of the left ventricle that may mimic an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients may present with chest pain, dyspnea, syncope, or other serious complications including cardiogenic shock, ventricular arrhythmias, and thrombus formation. Diagnostic criteria for SIC include several factors, including electrocardiogram changes, cardiac biomarker elevations, ventricular regional wall abnormalities on echocardiogram, and absence of occlusive coronary disease on coronary angiography. There is no standardized protocol for the treatment of SIC, although the current consensus is that patients should be risk-stratified, managed for complications, and treated with supportive therapy accordingly. In this case study, we present an 85-year-old female who presented with one month of fatigue, lower extremity weakness, and exertional dyspnea with chest pressure. She received a cardiac workup which revealed lab and imaging findings consistent with SIC. She received treatment for SIC, pericarditis, and Clostridium difficile colitis.

Comparison of a Small Dose of Oxycodone and Sufentanil for the Prevention of Sufentanil-Induced Cough during General Anesthesia Induction: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Authors:
Lingli Shi Lu Liu Yong He Yuling Yang Huanhuan Ni

Comput Math Methods Med 2022 17;2022:7924643. Epub 2022 Jun 17.

Department of Anesthesiology, Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing 210017, China.

Background: Sufentanil is widely used during anesthesia induction. However, it can cause coughing via different mechanisms. This study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a small dose of oxycodone and sufentanil in suppressing sufentanil-induced cough (SIC) during general anesthesia induction. Read More

Therapeutic Strategies Targeting Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Sepsis-induced Cardiomyopathy.

Authors:
Oluwabukunmi Modupe Salami Olive Habimana Jin-Fu Peng Guang-Hui Yi

Cardiovasc Drugs Ther 2022 Jun 15. Epub 2022 Jun 15.

Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Key Laboratory for Arteriosclerology of Hunan Province, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, 28, W Changsheng Road, Hengyang, 421001, Hunan, China.

Sepsis is an increasingly worldwide problem; it is currently regarded as a complex life-threatening dysfunction of one or more organs as a result of dysregulated host immune response to infections. The heart is one of the most affected organs, as roughly 10% to 70% of sepsis cases are estimated to turn into sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC). SIC can be defined as a reversible myocardial dysfunction characterized by dilated ventricles, impaired contractility, and decreased ejection fraction. Read More

Clinical applications of machine learning in the survival prediction and classification of sepsis: coagulation and heparin usage matter.

Authors:
Fei Guo Xishun Zhu Zhiheng Wu Li Zhu Jianhua Wu Fan Zhang

J Transl Med 2022 Jun 11;20(1):265. Epub 2022 Jun 11.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Qilu Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, 250012, Shandong, China.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome eliciting highly heterogeneous host responses. Current prognostic evaluation methods used in clinical practice are characterized by an inadequate effectiveness in predicting sepsis mortality. Rapid identification of patients with high mortality risk is urgently needed. Read More

Comparison of Testing Designs for Flexural Strength of 3Y-TZP and 5Y-PSZ Considering Different Surface Treatment.

Authors:
Carsten Hergeröder Sebastian Wille Matthias Kern

Materials (Basel) 2022 May 31;15(11). Epub 2022 May 31.

Department of Prosthodontics, Propaedeutics and Dental Materials, School of Dentistry, Christian-Albrechts University, 24105 Kiel, Germany.

The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of different surface treatments and the corresponding surface roughness on the ball-on-three-balls test and piston-on-three-balls test for measuring flexural strength 3Y-TZP and 5Y-PSZ. Additionally, the influence of cutting the material into the specimens when pre-sintered or fully sintered was analyzed. A total of 120 specimens for each material group, 3Y-TZP zirconia (Katana HT, Kuraray) and the 4 different layers of multilayered 5Y-PSZ zirconia (Katana UTML, Kuraray), were produced. Read More

Microwave-responsive SiC [email protected] core-shell structured catalyst for catalytic pyrolysis of plastics.

Authors:
Zhaohui Chen Mohammad Monzavi Mohammad Latifi Said Samih Jamal Chaouki

Environ Pollut 2022 Aug 4;307:119573. Epub 2022 Jun 4.

Department of Chemical Engineering, Polytechnique Montréal, P.O. Box 6079, Stn. Centre-Ville, Montreal, QC, H3C 3A7, Canada. Electronic address:

Catalytic pyrolysis is a promising chemical recycling technology to supplement mechanical recycling since plastics can be broken down into monomers or converted to the required fuels and chemicals. In this study, a microwave (MW) -responsive SiC [email protected] core-shell structured catalyst was proposed for the catalytic pyrolysis of polyolefins. Under microwave irradiation, the SiC foam core works as both microwave adsorber and catalyst support, thus concentrating the generated heat energy on the ZSM-5 zeolite shell, where the catalytic reaction takes place.
