The adrenal gland in extracorporeal circulation
<p>Due to the large volume and often conflicting results reported on postoperative endocrinological changes, the practicing surgeon has difficulty in finding applicable principles. A knowledge of these principles is however necessary for an understanding of the mechanisms responsible for survival …

Acoustic sensing of renal stone fragmentation in extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy
… of acoustic emissions detected during extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (a non-invasive procedure for the treatment of urinary stones) to develop a new diagnostic system. The work formed part of a research project on lithotripsy undertaken by the University of Southampton in …

Antibody-modified conduits for extracorporeal selective cytokine filtration in sepsis
Sepsis kills millions of people worldwide each year and occurs when microorganisms enter the bloodstream of an infected host. The presence of microorganisms in the bloodstream triggers the body to produce many inflammatory proteins, known as cytokines, that cause damage to blood vessels and vital …

Citrate kinetics during regional citrate anticoagulation in extracorporeal organ replacement therapy
Regional citrate anticoagulation is an important alternative anticoagulation method for haemodialysis patients at high risk of bleeding. In order to better define the optimal dose of citrate and calcium infusion and to identify patients at risk for side effects, the kinetics of citrate and calcium …

Association between venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation start time and patient outcomes
Introduction: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a complex tool used in times of cardio and pulmonary failures. It began as a tool used in neonates and gradually evolved to adult use in 2003 and increased in popularity during the time of the H1N1 influenza. As this procedure is risky, it …

Bearingless Slice Motor and 6-DoF Position Sensor for Extracorporeal Pump
… application for the bearingless motor is an extracorporeal blood pump. Extracorporeal blood pumps are used to maintain blood flow as a temporary ventricular assist device and/or blood oxygenator. Bearingless pumps can help to avoid blood damage caused by friction and heat generation due to …

Evaluation of extracorporeal shockwave for treatment of horses with thoracolumbar pain
… of this study was to evaluate effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on spinal mechanical nociceptive threshold (MNT) and multifidus muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) in horses with thoracolumbar pain. We hypothesized that ESWT would increase MNT and multifidus CSA. Twelve …

Homopolar bearingless slice motors with magnet-free rotors for extracorporeal life support
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a medical therapy that uses an external blood pump and oxygenator to provide cardiac or cardiopulmonary support. One common system-related challenge is to reduce blood damage, e.g., hemolysis, which is primarily caused by the stress and heat from the pump …

Extracorporeal Circulation: Effect of Long-Term (24-Hour) Circulation on Blood Components
Extracorporeal circulation damages blood and causes harmful side effects such as stroke and/or systemic inflammatory response in patients. Reactions of blood components to extracorporeal circulation include complement and inflammatory reactions, coagulation and thrombogenesis, frank hemolysis, and …

Economic Evaluation of Anticoagulation with Bivalirudin vs. Heparin during Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an invasive technology used to replace heart and/or lung function in critically ill patients with potential reversible causes of cardiac or respiratory failure. Anticoagulation is required during ECMO to prevent formation of blood clots as the body is …

Extracorporeal shock wave for the treatment of chronic venous ulcers: a pilot study.
… reports a pilot study investigating the use of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ECSW) in the treatment of chronic venous ulcers. The studies primary aim was to assess the clinical effectiveness of this treatment when combined with current best practice, multilayer compression bandaging. Venous …

A NOVEL APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF CAUDAL HEEL PAIN USING EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE THERAPY
Anecdotally, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is widely used in equine practice to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. The therapy has been used to treat caudal heel pain of the forelimbs, a common, chronic, degenerative condition that causes lameness. The objectives of this …

DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION DURING ISCHEMIA AND REPERFUSION IN AN EXTRACORPOREAL SMALL BOWEL PERFUSION MODEL IN SWINE
Anhand des isoliert perfundierten Schweinedünndarms haben wir gezeigt, dass es besonders während der Reperfusion mit Schweinevollblut zu einer starken Entzündungsreaktion mit Freisetzung von Zytokinen und einer Induktion der entsprechenden mRNA-Expression kommt. Diese Reaktion zeigte sich schon …
