Abstract
A three day-old boy was brought to a department of paediatric surgery with mechanical ileus under suspicion of morbus Hirschsprung. Early into surgery it was found that the cause of ileus was an iatrogenic clamping of a small unrecognized omphalocele. In view of recent literature there is not found a...

Abstract
Redo aortic valve surgery (AVS) in patients with patent pedicled internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts remains a challenging procedure because of the possibility of injury to the grafts and difficulties in optimal myocardial protection. This procedure is associated with a significant mortality and mo...

Abstract
In cardiac surgical cases such as valve replacement, right ventricular failure caused by intracoronary air embolism sometimes occurs after aortic declamping and during weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The details are reported of a de-airing method which involves simply rotating the arterial...

We compared subcutaneous clamping and cauterization for hemostasis at laparotomy with Pfannenstiel incision with reference to surgical site infection, postoperative fever and time taken for incision. A total of 214 patients with consecutive hysterectomies were alternately assigned to incisional hemos...

Abstract
These results were confirmed on the multivariate analysis where blood transfusions, primary tumor nodal involvement, and the size of CRLM of more than 5 cm prevailed as determinants of poor outcome.
This study confirms the safety and effectiveness of HPC and demonstrates that in the human situation,...

A mouse model of ischemic spinal cord injury with delayed paralysis caused by aortic cross-clamping.
Abstract
The onset of paresis or paralysis and postsurgical mortality varied as a function of cross-clamp time and core temperature that was maintained during the period of cross-clamp. Using optimal surgical parameters (7.5-min cross-clamp duration at 33°C core temperature), the onset of paralysis is delay...

Abstract
A high-lipid diet (HLD) may lead to adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling and endothelial dysfunction in conditions of hemodynamic stress. Although congenital absence of nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) leads to adverse LV remodeling after transverse aortic constriction (TAC), the effects of a HLD...

Over the most recent 10 years there have been no significant further improvements in survival or morbidity rates of preterm infants, mostly the extremely-low-gestational-age-neonates (ELGANs, defined as less than or equal to 28 weeks' gestation).The incidence of some of the major morbidities associa...

Nitric oxide has prosurvival effects that can limit ischemia-reperfusion injuries. However, the matrix glycoprotein thrombospondin-1 is induced following ischemia-reperfusion injury and limits nitric oxide signaling by engaging its cell surface receptor CD47.
