A genome-wide association study of variants associated with acquisition of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in a healthcare setting.
(BMC Infect Dis, 2014-02-13)BACKGROUND: Humans vary in their susceptibility to acquiring Staphylococcus aureus infection, and research suggests that there is a genetic basis for this variability. Several recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ... -
Assessment of Coronary Blood Flow by Transesophageal Echocardiography.
(J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth, 2016-01) -
Association between CK-MB Area Under the Curve and Tranexamic Acid Utilization in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
(J Thromb Thrombolysis, 2017-02-14)Myonecrosis after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is associated with excess mortality. Tranexamic acid (TA), an anti-fibrinolytic agent, has been shown to reduce peri-operative blood loss without increasing the ... -
Baseline Pulse Pressure, Acute Kidney Injury, and Mortality After Noncardiac Surgery.
(Anesth Analg, 2016-12)BACKGROUND: Increased pulse pressure (PP) is an important independent predictor of cardiovascular outcome and acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery. The objective of this study was to determine whether elevated ... -
Bleeding and the new anticoagulants: Strategies and concerns
(Anesthesiology, 2015-01-01) -
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Management Complicated by a Stenotic Coronary Sinus and Cold Agglutinins.
(J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth, 2018-01-10) -
CASE 7---2015: Perioperative Considerations for a Cardiac Paraganglioma...Not Just Another Cardiac Mass.
(J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth, 2015-08) -
Cortical β-amyloid levels and neurocognitive performance after cardiac surgery.
(BMJ Open, 2013-09-20)INTRODUCTION: Neurological and neurocognitive dysfunction occurs frequently in the large number of increasingly elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery every year. Perioperative cognitive deficits have been shown to ... -
Discordance in Grading Methods of Aortic Stenosis by Pre-Cardiopulmonary Bypass Transesophageal Echocardiography.
(Anesth Analg, 2016-04)BACKGROUND: Current guidelines define severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) as an aortic valve area (AVA) ≤1.0 cm by the continuity equation and mean gradient (ΔPm) ≥ 40 mm Hg. However, these measurements can be discordant when ... -

Genome-wide association study of acute kidney injury after coronary bypass graft surgery identifies susceptibility loci.
(Kidney Int, 2015-10)Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, serious complication of cardiac surgery. Since prior studies have supported a genetic basis for postoperative AKI, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for AKI following ... -
Genome-wide association study of perioperative myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass surgery.
(BMJ Open, 2015-05-06)OBJECTIVES: Identification of patient subpopulations susceptible to develop myocardial infarction (MI) or, conversely, those displaying either intrinsic cardioprotective phenotypes or highly responsive to protective interventions ... -
Grading Aortic Stenosis With Mean Gradient and Aortic Valve Area: A Comparison Between Preoperative Transthoracic and Precardiopulmonary Bypass Transesophageal Echocardiography.
(J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth, 2016-10)OBJECTIVE: The authors hypothesized that average precardiopulmonary bypass (pre-CPB) transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) mean gradient (PGm) and aortic valve area (AVA) values would be significantly different ... -
Indication of electron neutrino appearance from an accelerator-produced off-axis muon neutrino beam.
(Phys Rev Lett, 2011-07-22)The T2K experiment observes indications of ν(μ) → ν(e) appearance in data accumulated with 1.43×10(20) protons on target. Six events pass all selection criteria at the far detector. In a three-flavor neutrino oscillation ... -
Intraoperative Frontal Alpha-Band Power Correlates with Preoperative Neurocognitive Function in Older Adults.
(Front Syst Neurosci, 2017)Each year over 16 million older Americans undergo general anesthesia for surgery, and up to 40% develop postoperative delirium and/or cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Delirium and POCD are each associated with decreased quality ... -
Intraoperative vasoplegia: methylene blue to the rescue!
(Curr Opin Anaesthesiol, 2018-02)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To evaluate the efficacy, dosing, and safety of methylene blue (MTB) in perioperative vasoplegic syndrome (VS). RECENT FINDINGS: Vasoplegic syndrome is a state of persistent hypotension with elevated cardiac ... -
Invited commentary.
(Ann Thorac Surg, 2013-07) -
Jehovah's Witnesses and cardiac surgery: a single institution's experience.
(Transfusion, 2014-10)BACKGROUND: Based on biblical doctrines, patients of the Jehovah's Witness faith refuse allogeneic blood transfusion. Cardiac surgery carries a high risk of blood transfusion, but has been performed in Jehovah's Witnesses ... -
Long-term outcomes and management of the heart transplant recipient.
(Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol, 2017-06)Cardiac transplantation remains the gold standard in the treatment of advanced heart failure. With advances in immunosuppression, long-term outcomes continue to improve despite older and higher risk recipients. The median ...
