Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death, morbidity, and health costs worldwide. In AMI, a sudden blockage blood flow causes ischemia cell death. Reperfusion after has paradoxical effects may exacerbate injury, process known as ischemic reperfusion injury. this work we evaluated lipidome isolated rat hearts, maintained in controlled perfusion (CT), undergoing global (ISC)...

We report an usual case of hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) in the setting of acute pancreatitis and small bowel ischemia. Interestingly, the HPVG disappeared within 2 hours of the original computed tomography scan, despite the patient having small bowel ischemia. The patient had a complicated clinical course, dying 62 days postadmission. This case highlights that HPVG in setting of acute pancr...

The patient's white blood cell (WBC) count was 17,000/μL (no left shift). Viral gastroenteritis was diagnosed by the ED physicians. Very mild right-sided weakness and occasional "pins and needles" sensations in the right leg were residual effects of a stroke the patient had suffered 9 years earlier. He also had hypercholesteremia, with a high low-density lipoprotein level and a low high-density...

introduction: it has been reported that traumas such as transverse abdominal incision before myocardial ischemia result in a significantly decreased infarct size. this phenomenon is named remote preconditioning of trauma. since small skin burn is one of most common traumas, the effect of this injury on ischemia-induced arrhythmias and infarct size was investigated in a rat model of ischemia-rep...

The activity of the adrenergic system plays an important role in the genesis of malignant arrhythmias and the spreading of the infarcted zone in acute myocardial ischemia. Acute myocardial ischemia induces an increased activity of adenylyl cyclase. This sensitization at the enzyme level as shown in the isolated perfused rat heart occurs rapidly after the onset of ischemia (5-15 minutes) and is ...

ischemia reperfusion injury is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen. ischemia reperfusion induces cell death and endemic reaction that is one of the most important clinical problems with acute renal failure and renal transplantation. in this study, the effect of pentoxifylline on rat kidney function and cell injury followi...

OBJECTIVE Acute mesenteric ischemia can be caused by various conditions such as arterial occlusion, venous occlusion, strangulating obstruction, and hypoperfusion associated with nonocclusive vascular disease, and the CT findings vary widely depending on the cause and underlying pathophysiology. The aim of this article is to review the CT appearances of acute mesenteric ischemia in various cond...

background: ischemia reperfusion (ir) is the main pathology of torsion of testis and it is a common urologic emergency. there is some evidence that shows oxytocin (ot) plays role in ischemia reperfusion. objective: to evaluate this hypothesis that ot can decrease germ cell apoptotic index in testis under acute ischemia reperfusion in a rat model. materials and methods: 20 adult rats were random...
