conclusions this case highlights the potential severity of h1n1 infections and the utility of considering cardiac tamponade in patients presenting with influenza symptoms and circulatory collapse. case presentation we describe a case of a young female with no prior cardiovascular history who presents with a pericardial effusion and shock secondary to cardiac tamponade from pericarditis due to h...

materials and methods in a double blind randomized trial study, 100 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery were randomized to using heparinized (n = 50) or non-heparinized (normal) saline flush (n = 50) to maintain patency of arterial catheter after operation. indwelling arterial catheters were checked daily for acceptable arterial waveform for three days as primary outcome measures. resu...

conclusions comparing the serum lactate level before operation and 24 hours after the operation showed that the number of received blood units had a significant effect on serum lactate. we found no significant effect for blood storage duration; however, the number of given blood units was more significant. patients and methods in a cross-sectional study, 228 patients referred to three hospitals...

conclusions unfortunately the tumor was unresectable and just an incisional biopsy was performed. she received chemotherapy as palliative care. case presentation we presented a 56-year-old woman admitted to our center with lung emboli symptoms. transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (tte and tee) demonstrated very large size (more than 10 cm diameter) multilobulated mass with mobile...

In vitro cardiac differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) closely recapitulates in vivo embryonic heart development, and therefore, provides an excellent model to study human cardiac development. We recently generated the dual cardiac fluorescent reporter MESP1(mCherry/w)NKX2-5(eGFP/w) line in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), allowing the visualization of pre-cardiac MESP1+ me...
