Der Einflu� einer ven�sen Stauung im Kopfbereich auf die Wasser- und Elektrolytausscheidung von Ratten
1960
1. Salt and water retention can be produced in rats by compression in the neck region or by ligature of the jugular veins.
Development and Long-Term Follow-Up of an Experimental Model of Myocardial Infarction in Rabbits
2020
Simple Summary Ischemic heart disease is one of the leading causes of death. A series of processes occur during acute myocardial infarction that contribute to the development of ventricular dysfunction, with subsequent heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias, which account for most episodes of sudden cardiac death in these patients. These complications are associated with the adverse cardiac remodeling that occurs during the healing process following an acute episode. The remodeling causes the appearance of a substrate that can trigger life-threatening arrhythmias, such as tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation. The development of experimental models for analyzing the basic mechanism…
Reevaluation of direct true lumen cannulation in surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.
2009
Background The optimal mode of arterial cannulation in acute type A aortic dissection is controversial. We retrospectively investigated our experience with direct true lumen cannulation as an alternative to standard cannulation procedures. Methods From April 2004 to August 2007, 29 patients (20 men, 9 women; mean age of 63.2 ± 12.6 years) underwent emergency operation for acute type A aortic dissection with direct true lumen cannulation. After venous drainage into the venous reservoir, the ascending aorta was completely transected in the region between the sinotubular junction and innominate artery. After visual and digital identification of the true lumen, the arterial cannula was directly…
Pressure-Induced Growth (PIG) of Atretic Esophagus: A Contigent Management for High-Risk Esophageal Atresia
1986
The management of uncomplicated esophageal atresia is a straightforward procedure consisting of thoracotomy with anastomosis of the atretic segments and ligature of any tracheoesophageal fistula present. However, besides the rareness of isolated esophageal atresia, our observations in the past few years show increasing incidence of the anomaly in association with premature births and other malformations which are usually incompatible with life. Aspiration pneumonia resulting from reflux of gastric content through a lower tracheoesophageal fistula, rather than the overflow of saliva from an upper atretic pouch, also threatens the life of an otherwise healthy neonate with esophageal atresia.
One or two ligatures inducing periodontitis are sufficient to cause fatty liver
2017
Background Periodontitis is a chronic disease that due to an intense inflammatory response triggers systemic changes such as hepatic alterations. This study aimed to compare hepatic damage in rats that received experimental periodontitis at one or two periodontal sites with ligatures. Material and Methods Eighteen rats were separated into three groups: control, without ligature; periodontitis 1, with one ligature; and periodontitis 2, with two ligatures. The following parameters were assessed: gingival bleeding index, probing pocket depth, tooth mobility, alveolar bone loss, malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in periodontal tissue; histopathological evaluation of hepat…
Comparison of frictional resistance between passive self-ligating brackets and slide-type low-friction ligature brackets during the alignment and lev…
2019
Background To compare the frictional resistance between passive self-ligating brackets and conventional brackets with low-friction ligature under bracket/archwire and root/bone interface during dental alignment and leveling. Material and methods A tridimensional model of the maxilla and teeth of a patient treated with conventional brackets, and slide ligatures was generated employing the SolidWorks modeling software. SmartClip self-ligating brackets and Logic Line conventional brackets were assembled with slide low-friction ligatures, utilizing archwires with different diameters and alloys used for the alignment and leveling stage. Friction caused during the bracket/archwire interface and s…
