Project description:Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose accounts for the highest incidence of acute liver failure, despite the availability of an antidote i.e. N-acetylcysteine. This calls for alternative strategies to manage APAP-induced liver injury (AILI). Therapeutic hypothermia has been explored in past studies for hepatoprotection, but these phenomenal reports lack clarification of its optimal window for application, and mechanistic effects in specific AILI. Hence, we conducted an in vitro study with transforming growth factor-α transgenic mouse hepatocytes cell line, TAMH, and human liver hepatocytes cell line, L-02, where cells were conditioned with deep (25°C) or moderate (32°C) hypothermia before, during or after APAP toxicity. Cell viability was evaluated as a hallmark of cytoprotection, along with cell death. Simultaneously, cold shock proteins (CSPs) and heat shock proteins expressions were monitored; key liver functions including drug-metabolizing ability and hepatic clearance were also investigated. Herein, we demonstrated significant hepatoprotection with 24-hour moderate hypothermic conditioning during AILI and this effect sustained for at least 24 hours of rewarming. Such liver preservation was associated with a CSP-RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) as its knockdown promptly abolished the cytoprotective effects of hypothermia. With mild and reversible liver perturbations, hypothermic therapy appears promising and its RBM3 involvement deserves future exploration.

Project description:We assessed the feasibility of therapeutic early and prolonged mild hypothermia (MH) in patients with poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A retrospective pilot study was conducted for poor-grade SAH patients at two university hospitals from March 2015 to December 2018 who had received MH immediately after coil embolization and maintained a target temperature of 34-35°C for 5 days. A matched controlled design at a 1:2 ratio was used to compare MH therapy outcomes. The primary goal was to assess the two groups' severe functional outcomes at discharge defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 4-6. The secondary aim was to assess mortality and severe vasospasm depending upon MH. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify relevant risk factors for the outcomes. A total of 54 patients (18 with MH treatment and 36 without MH treatment) were included. Severe functional outcome was significantly decreased in poor-grade SAH patients with MH (n = 7, 38.9%) than those without MH (n = 25, 69.4%; p = 0.031). In patients treated with MH, mortality and severe vasospasm tended to be less common, although the difference was not statistically significant. A binary logistic regression analysis revealed that early and prolonged MH (odds ratio [OR] = 0.156, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.037-0.644) and severe vasospasm (OR = 5.593, 95% CI: 1.372-22.812) were risk factors for severe functional outcomes. This study shows potential therapeutic effect of early and prolonged MH treatment in poor-grade SAH patients. A randomized controlled study with a large number of patients is warranted in the future.

Project description:Phasic coronary artery compression is typically associated with spasm or myocardial bridging. Compression caused by acquired anatomic changes to the surrounding heart chambers has been reported only infrequently. We present a possibly unique case of phasic compression of the proximal left circumflex coronary artery during atrial contraction in association with a dilated left atrium. A 55-year-old man with multiple cardiac risk factors presented with worsening exertional dyspnea. An electrocardiogram and echocardiogram revealed marked left atrial dilation and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 0.15 to 0.20 with elevated filling pressures. Angiograms showed compression of the proximal segment of the left circumflex coronary artery during late ventricular diastole: the compression occurred in phase with atrial systole, whereas good flow without compression was present during atrial diastole. We attributed this phenomenon to ballooning of the lateral region of the atrial wall toward the atrioventricular groove during atrial systole. The patient complied with antihypertensive therapy, and his status improved after one year. To identify coronary artery compression in the presence of abnormal chamber geometry and to guide the treatment of the contributing medical conditions, we recommend careful analysis of angiographic results.

Project description:Maintenance of normothermia is a critical perioperative issue. The warming process after hypothermia tends to increase oxygen demand, which may lead to myocardial ischemia. This study explored whether hypothermia was an independent risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality in patients receiving CABG. We conducted a retrospective observational study of CABG surgeries performed from January 2018 to June 2019. The outcomes of interest were mortality, surgical site infection rate, ventilator dependent time, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and hospitalization duration. Data from 206 patients were analysed. Hypothermic patients were taller (p = 0.012), had lower left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.016), and had off-pump CABG more frequently (p = 0.04). Our analysis noted no incidence of mortality within 30 days. Hypothermia was not associated with higher surgical site infection rate or longer intubation time. After adjusting for sex, age, cardiopulmonary bypass duration, left ventricular ejection fraction, and EuroSCORE II, higher EuroSCORE II (p < 0.001; odds ratio 1.2) and hypothermia upon ICU admission (p = 0.04; odds ratio 3.8) were independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay. In addition to EuroSCORE II, hypothermia upon ICU admission was an independent risk factor for prolonged ICU stay in patients receiving elective CABG.

Project description:Myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in adults and mainly originate in the left atrium with a slight female predominance. Only 3%-4% of myxomas are detected in the right ventricle. Although these tumors are histologically benign, they can lead to several catastrophic complications such as embolization or obstruction of blood flow at the mitral or tricuspid valve orifices. We report a rare case of right ventricular myxoma presented with near-syncope attacks and worsening dyspnea.

Project description:UnlabelledIntroductionHypothermia is a relatively rare condition, and the effects of unintentional hypothermia on the heart are not known.Case presentationThis report describes the case of an 88-year-old Japanese man found in a coma and presenting with heart failure associated with hypothermia. He experienced sinus arrest, junctional rhythm and left ventricular systolic dysfunction with prolonged ejection time. With rewarming and treatment of his heart failure, he completely recovered over a period of two weeks.ConclusionProlonged ejection time might be a characteristic finding in hypothermia.

Project description:BackgroundThe Induced Hypothermia (IH) and Optimizing Cooling (OC) trials for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) had similar inclusion criteria. The rate of death/moderate-severe disability differed for the subgroups treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) at 33.5 °C for 72 h (44% vs. 29%, unadjusted p = 0.03). We aimed to evaluate differences in patient characteristics and care practices between the trials.MethodsWe compared pre/post-randomization characteristics and care practices between IH and OC.ResultsThere were 208 patients in the IH trial, 102 cooled, and 364 in the OC trial, 95 cooled to 33.5 °C for 72 h. In OC, neonates were less ill, fewer had severe HIE, and the majority were cooled prior to randomization. Differences between IH and OC were observed in the adjusted difference in the lowest PCO2 (+3.08 mmHg, p = 0.005) and highest PO2 (-82.7 mmHg, p < 0.001). In OC, compared to IH, the adjusted relative risk (RR) of exposure to anticonvulsant prior to randomization was decreased (RR 0.58, (0.40-0.85), p = 0.005) and there was increased risk of exposure during cooling to sedatives/analgesia (RR 1.86 (1.21-2.86), p = 0.005).ConclusionDespite similar inclusion criteria, there were differences in patient characteristics and care practices between trials. Change in care practices over time should be considered when planning future neuroprotective trials.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious reports have shown that prolonged duration of resuscitation efforts in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with poor neurologic outcome. This concept has recently been questioned with advancements in post-cardiac arrest care including the use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH). The aim of this study was to determine the rate of good neurologic outcome based on the duration of resuscitation efforts in OHCA patients treated with TH.MethodsThis prospective, observational, study was conducted between January 2008 and September 2012. Inclusion criteria consisted of adult non-traumatic OHCA patients who were comatose after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and received TH. The primary endpoint was good neurologic outcome defined as a cerebral performance category score of 1 or 2. Downtime was calculated as the length of time between the patient being recognized as pulseless and ROSC.Results105 patients were treated with TH and 19 were excluded due to unknown downtime, leaving 86 patients for analysis. The median downtime was 18.5 (10.0-32.3)min and 33 patients (38.0%) had a good neurologic outcome. When downtime was divided into four groups (≤10min, 11-20min, 21-30min, >30min), good neurologic outcomes were 62.5%, 37%, 25%, and 21.7%, respectively (p=0.02). However, even with downtime >20min, 22.9% had a good neurologic outcome, and this percentage increased to 37.5% in patients with an initial shockable rhythm.ConclusionsAlthough longer downtime is associated with worse outcome in OHCA patients, we found that comatose patients who have been successfully resuscitated and treated with TH have neurologically intact survival rates of 23% even with downtime >20min.
