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) ... -

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) -
Cardiac arrest and resuscitation activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and results in severe immunosuppression.
(Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism : official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 2021-05)In patients who are successfully resuscitated after initial cardiac arrest (CA), mortality and morbidity rates are high, due to ischemia/reperfusion injury to the whole body including the nervous and immune systems. How ... -
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Management Complicated by a Stenotic Coronary Sinus and Cold Agglutinins.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteome Changes in Older Non-Cardiac Surgical Patients with Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction.
(Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2021-02-26)<h4>Background</h4>Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), a syndrome of cognitive deficits occurring 1-12 months after surgery primarily in older patients, is associated with poor postoperative outcomes. POCD is hypothesized ... -
Changes in analgesic strategies for lobectomy from 2009 to 2018
(JTCVS Open, 2021-06-01)Objective: To evaluate trends in the use of epidural analgesia and nonopioid and opioid analgesics for patients undergoing lobectomy from 2009 to 2018. Methods: We queried the Premier database for adult patients undergoing ... -
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 ... -
COVID-19: Thrombosis, thromboinflammation, and anticoagulation considerations.
(International journal of laboratory hematology, 2021-07)Vascular endothelial injury is a hallmark of acute infection at both the microvascular and macrovascular levels. The hallmark of SARS-CoV-2 infection is the current COVID-19 clinical sequelae of the pathophysiologic responses ... -
Diagnosis and management of sepsis-induced coagulopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
(Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 2019-07-20) -
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 ... -
Durability and Efficacy of Tricuspid Valve Repair in Patients Undergoing Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation.
(JACC. Heart failure, 2019-12-03)OBJECTIVES:This study sought to determine the durability of tricuspid valve repair (TVr) performed concurrently with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and its association with the development of late right ... -
Fibrin-modulating nanogels for treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
(Blood advances, 2021-02)Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a pathological coagulopathy associated with infection that increases mortality. In DIC, excessive thrombin generation causes symptoms from formation of microthrombi to multiorgan ... -
Flow Cytometry Characterization of Cerebrospinal Fluid Monocytes in Patients With Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction: A Pilot Study.
(Anesthesia and analgesia, 2019-05-03)Animal models suggest postoperative cognitive dysfunction may be caused by brain monocyte influx. To study this in humans, we developed a flow cytometry panel to profile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples collected before ...
