Does concomitant tricuspid annuloplasty increase perioperative mortality and morbidity when correcting left-sided valve disease?
In conclusion, there is good evidence to support that tricuspid annuloplasty is a low-risk procedure and concomitant TV repair does not significantly increase the perioperative mortality and morbidity when correcting left-sided valve disease.

Clearance of serum solutes by hemofiltration in dogs with severe heat stroke
Background: We have previously reported that hemofiltration (HF) may be an effective additional means of treating heat stroke when rapid cooling is not effective. Methods: Dogs were assigned to a heat stroke (control) or heat stroke?+?hemofiltration (HF) group (n?=?8 each group). After heat stroke induction, dogs in the HF group received HF for 3?h. Serum concentrations of interleukin (IL)-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?, IL-6, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine were measured at baseline and 1, 2, and 3?h after heat stroke. Clearance rates of solutes were determined 1, 2, and 3?h after the start of HF. Results: Ser...

Clearance of myoglobin by high cutoff continuous veno‐venous hemodialysis in a patient with rhabdomyolysis: A case report
Abstract Continuous veno‐venous hemodialysis using high cutoff filters (HCO‐CVVHD) is a promising technique, which may be effective to decrease the extremely high level of circulating myoglobin in patients with rhabdomyolysis (RM). Here, we report a patient with RM caused by heat stroke who was successfully treated by HCO‐CVVHD. A male patient received HCO‐CVVHD with 4 L/h dialysate for 5 days and then pre‐dilution continuous veno‐venous hemofiltration (CVVH) at a dose of 4 L/h until recovery of renal function. The clearance of myoglobin and albumin at 5 minutes, and at 4, 12, and 24 hours were calculated. ...

Cross-Clamping a Porcelain Aorta: An Alternative Technique for High-Risk Patients.
Conclusions: Cross-clamping with "open proximal ascending aorta" is effective and the incidence of stroke and systemic embolisation in patients with porcelain aorta is low compared to literature. PMID: 24525522 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The hemodynamic effects during sustained low-efficiency dialysis versus continuous veno-venous hemofiltration for uremic patients with brain hemorrhage: a crossover study.
Conclusions With this controlled crossover study, the authors provide the pilot evidence that both SLED and CVVH display identical acute hemodynamic effects and increased ICP after dialysis in brain hemorrhage patients. Clinical trial registration no.: NCT01781585 ( ClinicalTrials.gov ). PMID: 23706048 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
