“Small Volume Resuscitation” as Treatment of Cerebral Blood Flow Disturbances and Increased ICP in Trauma and Ischemia
1996
“Small volume resuscitation” (SVR) is a promising concept for the treatment of shock and trauma patients. SVR utilizes the fast infusion of a small volume of hypertonic saline to mobilize intraendothelial and parenchymal water to expand and restitute intravascular volume. Therefore it seems warranted to also consider SVR for the treatment of disturbances of the cerebral circulation and of increased intracranial pressure (ICP). The current study uses a rabbit model of global cerebral ischemia combined with mild hemorrhage to test SVR. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) serve as a short-term outcome parameter. The data demonstrate a beneficial effect on ICP, a better reperfusion, and an i…

Pulmonale Thrombendarteriektomie bei thromboembolischer pulmonaler Hypertonie: Indikationen und Frühergebnisse
2008
Pulmonary thrombendarterectomy was performed in 32 patients (14 men and 18 women; mean age 38 +/- 15 years) with thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (New York Heart Association stage III: n = 22; stage IV: n = 10). The preoperative arterial pO2 averaged 59 +/- 11 mm Hg; pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and mean pressure (MPAP) were increased to 1,045 +/- 430 dyn.s.cm-5 and 53 +/- 12 mm Hg, respectively. The perioperative death rate was 22% (7 of 32). In the 25 survivors the pulmonary hypertension was reduced to a PVR of 194 +/- 75 dys.s.cm-5, MPAP of 28 +/- 6 mm Hg. Subsequent re-examination in 15 patients (NYHA stage I: n = 14, stage II: n = 1) after a mean of 17 +/- 5 months demonstr…
P2540Sex-specific differences in the clinical presentation, surgical complications, and course of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
2019
Abstract Background Women are more susceptible to develop several forms of pulmonary hypertension, but they may have better survival rates than men. Sparse data are available concerning sex-specific differences in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Purpose and methods We investigated sex-specific differences in the clinical presentation of CTEPH, functional parameters, exposure to pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), and survival. Results Women constituted half of the study population (N=679 treatment-naïve patients from the European CTEPH registry) and were characterized by a lower prevalence of some cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. prior acute coronary syndrome, smoking ha…

Duplexsonographie abdomineller Gefäße
1987
Duplex sonography is a non-invasive procedure which permits the determination of flow velocity and direction in visceral vessels. Results in 50 normals have shown that small arteries can be evaluated in about 50% of cases. The portal venous system can be demonstrated in all cases; average flow velocity and volume is 15.2 +/- 2.8 cm/s and 694 +/- 230 ml/min, corresponding with the values obtained by invasive methods. Clinical application for duplex examinations can be found in portal hypertension, varices, thromboses, aneurysms and transplant kidneys.
Histologische und histoautoradiographische Untersuchungen zur Wanddicke und zum Zellumsatz am interponierten Hundedünndarm nach totaler Gastrektomie
1979
Total gastrectomy was performed on purebred beagle dogs and a 30--40 cm jejunal segment was grafted isoperistaltically between oesophagus and duodenum. Histological and histoautoradiographical examinations were carried out and the wall-thickness and the cell-transformation rate in the interponate determined. Despite the isoperistaltic substitute-stomach a muscular wall-hypertrophy of 140% of the interponated jejunum was found. The reason for this hypertrophy is thought to be the result of adhesions and the functional mechanical demands. Histoautoradiographical examinations confirmed that the regeneration time in the substitute-stomach decreased by 70% compared with the normal jejunum. The d…
Effects of Antihypertensive Treatment on Peripheral Flow of the Lower Limbs
1984
The clinical pattern determined in subjects that undergo a high and prolonged pressure regime is defined as “hypertensive disease”.
Hiatal herniation of the stomach and pancreas in a patient with oxygen desaturations
2013
Hiatal hernia (HH), a neglected cause of cardiorespiratory symptoms, is a frequent entity characterized by the displacement of the gastro- esophageal junction and part of the stomach into the mediastinum. Although often asymptomatic, HH may also exert a wide spectrum of clinical presentations due to cardio-pulmonary compression, including acute cardiovascular events such as arrhythmias, post-prandial syncope, angina-like chest pain, recurrent acute heart failure, hemodynamic collapse, electrocardiographic changes (T-wave inversion, ST elevation) simulating myocardial ischemia or pericarditis, and respiratory manifestations that can range from exercise intolerance and dyspnea on exertion to …
