Possible Adverse Effects of Hyperventilation on rCBF during the Acute Phase of Total Proximal Occlusion of a Main Cerebral Artery

1969

Recent studies seem to favor a beneficial effect of hyperventilation (HV) in cases of cerebrovascular occlusion [1, 4] and brain trauma [2, 5]. On the other hand, it seems that, at least under certain circumstances, HV may exert an adverse effect upon cerebral blood flow and metabolism [3]. Since this question is not settled yet, it seems worthwhile to report briefly the present case of reversible total occlusion of the middle cerebral artery closely followed by successive rCBF studies (133Xe-gamma-clearance method), in which, during the acute phase, HV caused a latent ischemia to become manifest.

Cessation of Cerebral Blood Flow in Total Irreversible Loss of Brain Function

1969

After the demonstration, by our group [3, 4], that in cases of so-called “cerebral death” there is an absence of clearance from the brain of 133Xe selectively injected into the internal carotid artery, further attention was dedicated to establish possible sources of error in this technique.

Neuronal immunoreactivity for mannose-binding lectin after venous occlusion-induced focal cerebral ischemia in rats

2012

Abstract A recent research reveals that complement activation exacerbates cerebral infarction. However, involvement of the lectin pathway, (the third complement activation pathway) in cerebral ischemia is not well studied. In this study, we investigated the appearance of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) in ischemic brain tissue. Male Wistar rats ( n  = 25) were divided into three groups: untreated control, sham, and vein occlusion (VO). Rats in the VO group had two adjacent photochemically occluded cortical veins. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured in the sham and VO groups. Rats were perfusion-fixed at 72 h in the sham group and at 3, 24, and 72 h after inducing ischemia in the V…

The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease among primary care patients in Poland: results from the LIPIDOGRAM2015 study

2020

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is currently one of the leading cause of mortality in the European Union. Well-established, modifiable cardiovascular (CV) risk factors include hypertension (HTN), hypercholesterolaemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, low activity levels, poor diet and smoking. There are no current estimates on the prevalence of CV risk factors among Polish patients solely in the primary care setting. Methods A nationwide cross-sectional study, LIPIDOGRAM2015, was carried out in Poland in the 4th quarter of 2015 and 1st and 2nd quarters of 2016. 438 primary care physicians enrolled 13,724 adult patients that sought medical care for any medical reason in pri…

Effects of long-term lifestyle and high-intensity interval training intervention on blood pressure reduction in patients with abdominal obesity

2013

Purpose: The aims of this study were: 1) to study the impact of a combined long-term lifestyle and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) intervention on blood pressure (BP) in patients with abdominal obesity; 2) To document BP reduction responses according to the European Society of Hypertension BP classification. Methods: 105 patients with abdominal obesity (age: 53±10 yrs; 32 men; waist circumference (WC): 112±13cm; systolic/diastolic (SBP/DBP): 133±13/82±8 mmHg; 11% diabetics, 11% smokers, 68% with antihypertensive therapy) were retrospectively analyzed before and after a combined long-term lifestyle and HIIT program twice a week. Anthropometric measurements, cardiometabolic risk facto…

Manejo de la hipertensión arterial en niños y adolescentes: recomendaciones de la Sociedad Europea de Hipertensión

2010

Resumen: La hipertensión en niños y adolescentes ha ido ganando terreno en la medicina cardiovascular, gracias a los avances producidos en distintas áreas de la investigación fisiopatológica y clínica. Estas guías nacen del consenso al que han llegado los especialistas en la detección y control de la hipertensión en niños y adolescentes. Por otra parte, dichas guías son un compendio de los datos científicos y la extensa experiencia clínica con la que se cuenta, y constituyen la información clínica más completa que los médicos, enfermeras y familiares deberían tener en cuenta a la hora de tomar decisiones. Estas guías, que hacen hincapié en la importancia de la hipertensión en niños y adoles…

Design and baseline characteristics of participants in the R esearching cardiovascular E vents with a W eekly IN cretin in D iabetes ( REWIND ) trial…

2017

The aim was to determine the effects of dulaglutide, a synthetic once-weekly, injectable human glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue that lowers blood glucose, body weight, appetite and blood pressure, on cardiovascular outcomes. People with type 2 diabetes, aged ≥50 years, with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≤9.5%, and either a previous cardiovascular event, evidence of cardiovascular disease or ≥2 cardiovascular risk factors were randomly allocated to a weekly subcutaneous injection of either dulaglutide (1.5 mg) or placebo and followed within the ongoing Researching cardiovascular Events with a Weekly INcretin in Diabetes (REWIND) trial every 3 to 6 months. The primary cardiovascular outcome is…
