Evaluation of the Relative Frequency Carbapenemase Genes by Phenotypic and Genotypic Methods in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates from Patients with Open Heart Surgery Iran

Chronic heart failure has become a significant health problem. Cardiac surgery has an important role in the treatment of patients with heart failure. There are traditional surgical techniques in cardiac surgery - coronary revascularization, valve surgery, ventricular reconstructive surgery as well as new surgical techniques - cardiac support device (CorCap), mechanical circulatory support and r...

Global myocardial ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury are potential adverse events related with cardioplegic arrest. Beating heart surgery has avoided such complications and adapted to valve surgery following successful results published on myocardial revascularization. Difficulty in weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass may be lessened by using on-pump beating heart surgery for mitral valve...

Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Patients who have undergone surgical repair ToF constitute one largest groups disease patients surviving into adulthood. The history techniques has evolved through years, starting from early 1930s. In this context, many leading figures are acknowledged as pioneers in cardiothoracic surgery. There struggled to obtain...

abstract background and purpose: surgery is a stressful situation and this study aimed to evaluate the effect of negative emotions coping styles training on mental health of the patients undergoing open-heart surgery. methods: this study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design on the patients undergoing open-heart surgery during a course of six months in mazandaran heart center, sari, iran...

background activation of stress response during cardiac surgeries such as cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) can increase myocardial oxygen demand and consumption through induced tachycardia and augmented peripheral vascular resistance. these physiologic consequences may lead to increased morbidity and mortality by putting too great a strain on the already compromised organ systems. material and meth...

Background: Children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) often require cardiac surgery, whose outcome depends on many preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the factors associated in-hospital mortality among patients undergoing pediatric surgery for CHDs. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included younger than 18 who underw...

Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) is a multifactorial disorder based on both genetic and environmental factors involved in development. The basic problem lies the structure of heart leading to CHD that occurs walls, valves, arteries veins heart. During cell cycle, gene controls this process may mutate, causing disturbance any portion disturbed blood flow, flow wrong direction or complete blockage. ...

aim and background: remote ischemic preconditioning introduces brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion which reduces long term ischemia in orthopaedic surgery. the aim of this study was to evaluate hemodynamic and respiratory effects of remote ischemic preconditioning in lower extremity orthopaedic surgeries. methods: in this clinical trial 40 patients scheduled for lower extremity surgery w...

BACKGROUND In middle income countries, the burden of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains high, but the prevalence of other heart valve diseases may rise as the population life expectancy increases. Here, we compared population-based data on surgical procedures to assess the relative importance of causes of heart valve disease in Salvador, Brazil. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Medical chart...
