Single-center and claims-based studies have described substantial changes in the landscape of care cardiac intensive unit (CICU). Professional societies recommended research to guide evidence-based CICU redesigns.To characterize patients admitted contemporary, advanced CICUs.This study established Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network (CCCTN), an investigator-initiated multicenter network 16 advanced, tertiary CICUs United States Canada. For 2 months each CICU, data for consecutive...
Cardiac rehabilitation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) safely improves exercise tolerance, functional independence, and quality of life. However, barriers such as transportation, cost, limited access to programs prohibits participation. In 2010, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) started a 12-week home-based cardiac (HBCR) program at 13 sites around country increase participation by reducing barriers. We present findings HBCR in post-TAVR patients from VAMC...
A 57-year-old man with a known anterior mediastinal mass presented abdominal distension, jaundice, and signs of urinary bowel obstruction. Labs revealed leukocytosis, transaminitis, direct hyperbilirubinaemia elevated levels alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase uric acid. Subsequent imaging the diffuse liver lesions consistent metastatic disease. MRI spine brain were negative for metastases. Liver biopsy immunohistochemistry basaloid squamous cell carcinoma thymic origin. Treatment...
A 67-year-old postmenopausal African American woman presented with biventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC)—evidenced by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showing apical akinesis of both left and right ventricles in the absence obstructive coronary artery disease on heart catheterisation. On 4th hospital day, she experienced acute facial droop, dysarthria dysphagia. CT head showed a wedge infarct middle cerebral territory. Cardioembolism was presumed after intracranial extracranial...
We examined the impact of patient and tumor-specific factors on overall expected survival in patients with melanoma brain metastases treated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). A single-institution IRB-approved retrospective analysis was conducted 54 who underwent SRS for from pathologically confirmed between November 2008 January 2014. Patients included study were linear accelerator-based had at least one follow-up MRI. primary intracranial tumors excluded. Survival defined as interval initial...
Insufficient sleep has been linked to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, but the underlying mechanisms have not fully elucidated. Endothelial function, independent predictor of future events and mortality, may be detrimentally affected by deprivation this tested. Purpose We investigated influence total (TSD) on endothelial function in healthy young men. Methods Twelve men free disorders, 18 27 years age (22 ± 1 years; mean SEM), participated study. was assessed using brachial...
Sleep deprivation is a common problem and may contribute to increased risk for development of cardiovascular disease. The influence sleep on arterial stiffness, wave reflection aortic pressure, independent predictors disease, has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, the purpose this study was investigate acute effects total (TSD) pressure in young healthy men. Twelve participants (22 ± 1 yrs, means SE) completed study. Participants were free clinical disease disorders, did use tobacco...
Purpose or Objective: In concern gliosarcoma management, the aims of this multicentre retrospective study were to identify prognostic therapeutic factors impacting on overall survival.
We examined the impact of patient- and tumor-specific factors on overall survival in patients with breast brain metastases cancer treated SRS. conducted a single-institution IRB-approved retrospective chart review 47 158 total linear accelerator-based SRS between November 2008 January 2014. Patients included study were had at least one follow-up MRI. Survival was defined as interval from initial treatment to death. Actual calculated using Kaplan-Meier method 95% confidence intervals....
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne in northern hemisphere. Neurological complications usually manifest patients who do not receive treatment for disease. involvement may be early or late, depending on duration of symptoms. Early neuroborreliosis presents with symptoms such as headache and meningism; late can present signs encephalopathy stroke-like The diagnosis based clinical manifestations lumbar puncture finding. Treatment consists intravenous antibiotics a period three to four...
Caffeine is widely consumed daily as a stimulant, ergogenic aid or performance enhancer. In addition to the traditional forms of caffeine consumption (e.g., coffee, tea and caffeinated soft drinks), alternative sources are becoming increasingly popular such tablets/capsules gum. Caffeinated chewing gum offers rapid absorption commercially available. Although acute cardiovascular effects from well documented, unknown. Therefore, this double‐blinded, randomized, placebo‐controlled, crossover...
Coffee is widely consumed and several studies have examined the acute effects of coffee consumption on blood pressure. However, little attention has focused central arterial stiffness, wave reflection, aortic pressure, independent predictors cardiovascular disease. The objective this investigation was to conduct a randomized, placebo‐controlled study stiffness hemodynamics. Sixteen young males (21±2 yrs; means±SE) who were light caffeine users 16 oz. cold coffee, containing 160 mg caffeine,...
Endothelial function and central arterial stiffness are independent predictors of future cardiovascular events. High‐intensity interval training (HIIT) is a popular oftentimes superior exercise strategy for decreasing disease risk than moderate‐intensity continuous (MICT). We have recently adapted HIIT on non‐weight‐bearing all‐extremity ergometer to reduce impact the joints involve muscles in whole body activate larger amount muscle mass lower‐extremity HIIT. However, acute vascular...
