The effects of partial sleep deprivation and the sub-maximal NDKS exercise testing protocol on S-Klotho and hemodynamic responses in men

Saghiv M; Backes B; Cook K; Frank S; Schaaf J; Wagner M

It has long been known that different extents of sleep deprivation (partial and/or full) have negative implications on function, hemodynamic, and physiological responses [1-6]. The influences of sleep deprivation may in some cases, be sex-specific (male vs female). Such influences may be characterized by neurologic, endocrine, physiologic-metabolic, and behavioral changes, often for worse [7-9].

The klotho gene and soluble klotho in health and disease: From 1997-2018; A review

Such factors include biological, environmental, psychological, lifestyle, and medical.

Risk stratification in early stage arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and provocable brugada ECG

Stefan Peters

Risk factors of malignant tachyarrythmias should be assessed in cases with early stage arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and provocable Brugada ECG. Spontaneous right precordial coved-type ST segment elevation, tall R wave in lead a VR, QRS fragmentation, 1° AV block, inducibility during electrophysiological examination, and localised right precordial QRS prolongation should be tested in 20 out of 128 patients.

A novel use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the management of prosthetic valve thrombosis during pregnancy

Rizwan Attia; Xun Luo; Victoria Asfour; Vinayak Bapat

Switching from Coumadin-based to heparin-based anticoagulant for management of mechanical heart valves during pregnancy carries risks. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) may play a role in urgent or life-threatening clinical conditions for resuscitation prior to surgery. A 27-year-old 28-weeks gestation primigravida presented with dyspnoea.

Does fast-track recovery improve outcomes in adult cardiac surgery?

Katharina Schulte; Athanasios Antoniou; Rizwan Attia*

Complications following cardiac surgery can be associated with severe morbidity and mortality. The interdisciplinary approach according to a structured protocol aims to optimise outcomes post cardiac surgery. We aimed to evaluate the evidence of fast track recovery programmes in adult cardiac surgery.
