ABSTRAK Penyakit jantung masih menjadi penyebab utama kematian di Indonesia. Data menunjukkan adanya tren peningkatan penyakit jantung. Henti merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat dan memiliki dampak buruk pada kesejahteraan manusia. Sebagian besar henti terjadi orang dewasa out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) umum masyarakat. Pada umumnya emergency response time Indonesia adalah >15 men...

cytotoxicity evaluation of daphne mucronata (thymelaeaceae) extract and one of its active purified components, using seven different cancerous cell lines, revealed the strong antiproliferative activity of the plant. using flow cytometry technique, it was found that treatment of the most responsive cells (k562) with the plant extract or the active component inhibited the progression of cells thr...

Technique of openheart surgery An open-heart operation, which involves interrupting the pump action of the heart and, therefore, the supply of oxygenated blood to the brain and other vital organs, may be undertaken at normal body temperature, under hypothermic circulatory arrest (in which the patient is first cooled so that the oxygen requirements of the brain are reduced), or by heart-lung by-...

Complete inflow stiisis of the heart was associated with less central nervous system damage, if the heart was resuscitated with massage. Ventricular fibrillation did not occur during the period of circulatory arrest, but it was seen occasionally after the heart filled. Its incidence was increased by the use of Adrenalin and by allowing the heart to recover without massage. The administration of...

Objective: Euthanasia of animals is a highly stressful situation for veterinarians and may be source of ethical dilemmas; also, it is very difficult to decide “which technique is more appropriate for the given situation”? The aim of this study was to describe a new humane method for on-farm euthanasia. Design: Pilot clinical trial. Animals: thirteen animals including three horses, six sheep ...

OBJECTIVES To update a comprehensive systematic review of the use of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest that was undertaken initially as part of the 2010 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science. The specific question addressed was: 'in post-cardiac arrest patients with a return of spontaneous circulation, does the induction of...

Despite aggressive measures for the treatment of cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest, the hypotension associated with these malignant processes usually leads to profound vital-organ ischemia and death. A fundamental therapeutic challenge of such life-threatening processes is the restoration of adequate blood flow to the heart and the brain. However, to maintain adequate forward blood flo...

Numerous investigations have been concerned with the effects of acute arrest of cerebral circulation in animals. The earlier workers' studied the effects of ligation of the cerebral arteries . More recently, observations have been made on the effects of temporary occlusion of the chief cerebral arteries 2 and of temporary cessation of the heart beat .$ Using the method of occlusion of the chief...

Introduction: Extreme weather or climate, including heat waves and cold waves, is considered a health issue causing adverse effects on health, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), mortality and morbidity. Thus, this systematic review aimed to study the impacts of extreme ambient temperature on cardiovascular outcomes. Material and Methods: This study was carried out based on the Preferred R...
