Carboxyhemoglobin in Cardiac Surgery Patients and Its Association with Risk Factors and Biomarkers of Hemolysis
CONCLUSIONS: CO-Hb may represent a readily obtainable and frequently measured biomarker that has a moderate association with known biomarkers of and risk factors for hemolysis in on-pump cardiac surgery patients. These findings have potential clinical implications and warrant further investigation.PMID:38446702 | DOI:10.1213/ANE.0000000000006915 (Source: Anesthesia and Analgesia)

Pulmonary function testing in preoperative high-risk patients
ConclusionsOur screening program detected a relevant number of patients with previously unknown obstructive ventilatory disorders and impaired pulmonary gas exchange. This newly discovered sickness is associated with low metabolic equivalents and may influence perioperative outcomes. Whether optimized management of patients with previously unknown impaired lung function leads to a better outcome should be evaluated in multicenter studies.Trial registrationGerman Registry of Clinical Studies (DRKS00029337), registered on: June 22nd, 2022.

Clinical correlates of a non-plexiform vasculopathy in patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
This study reveals different vascular phenotypes within the current spectrum of patients diagnosed with IPAH, separated by clinical characteristics (age, sex, , history of cigarette smoking, and DLCO at diagnosis). Potential differences in underlying pathobiological mechanisms between patients with plexiform and non-plexiform / microvascular disease should be taken into account in future research strategies unravelling the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension and developing biology-targeted treatment approaches.PMID:38432552 | DOI:10.1016/j.chest.2024.02.046 (Source: Chest)

Short-term effects of ambient gaseous air pollution on blood platelet mitochondrial DNA methylation and myocardial ischemia
CONCLUSIONS: Platelet mtDNA methylation levels are promising biomarkers of short-term exposure to ambient gaseous air pollution, and are likely implicated in the mechanism behind the association of ambient O3 pollution with adverse cardiovascular effects. L-Arg supplementation showed the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of ambient O3 pollution.PMID:38430585 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2024.108533 (Source: Environment International)
