Thirty-three million people have atrial fibrillation (AF), a disorder of heart rhythm.1 Over the past several decades, we have learned that this dysrhythmia originates in the interplay between genetic predisposition, ectopic electrical activity, and abnormal atrial tissue substrate and then feeds back to remodel and worsen tissue substrate and, thereby, propagates itself.
Although many efforts have been directed to improve atrial fibrillation transcatheter ablation safety, thromboembolism to the brain remains one of the major complications. In fact several studies have confirmed occurrence of silent cerebral embolic lesions by post-procedure magnetic resonance imaging, the present review will focus on the possible mechanisms leading to silent cerebral embolism i…
We analyzed the dosage pattern of anesthetic drugs administered to maintain anesthesia during rigid bronchoscopy
General anaesthesia is routinely used for rigid bronchoscopy in paediatrics for different causes. Both methods of anaesthesia were used inhalational and total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA
Laryngoscopy and stimuli inside the trachea cause an intense sympatho-adrenal response. Remifentanil seems to be the optimal opioid for rigid bronchoscopy due to its potent and short-acting properties. The purpose of this study was to compare bolus propofol and ketamine as an adjuvant to remifentanil-based total intravenous anesthesia for pediatric rigid bronchoscopy
Dry eye disease is a common disorder provoking changes in tear film and ocular surface. Untreated dry eye could cause ocular infections, corneal ulcer and blindness. Only a few drugs are authorized so far for the treatment of dry eye disease and the possibilities of evolution in this sector are immense. Consequently, a significant number of new potential solutions are under development or place…
Diabetes has been estimated to affect over 8% of the world’s population and, as a significant cause of mortality and major morbidity, is now posing one of the greatest challenges for our healthcare systems. The global prevalence of diabetes is set to double over the next 20 years, with the vast majority of this increase related to type 2 diabetes. As such, type 2 diabetes is increasingly rec…
Dry eye disease (DED) represents a heterogeneous group of conditions with tear film insufficiency and signs and/or symptoms of ocular surface irritation. The clinical manifestations of DED can be highly variable; hence the diagnosis is often based on a combination of symptoms, signs, and clinical tests, given that any one of these alone would miss a significant number of patients. Similarly, th…
Coronavirus adalah keluarga besar virus yang menyebabkan penyakit mulai dari gejala ringan sampai berat. Ada setidaknya dua jenis coronavirus yang diketahui menyebabkan penyakit yang dapat menimbulkan gejala berat seperti Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) dan Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) adalah penyakit jenis baru yang belum pernah diidenti…
