Article Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning is the phenomenon whereby brief periods of sublethal ischemia protect against a subsequent, more prolonged, ischemic insult. In remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), ischemia to one organ protects others organs at a distance. We created mouse models to ask if inhibition of the alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenase Egln1, which senses oxygen and regulates the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factor, could suffice to mediate local and remote ischemic preconditioning. Using somatic gene deletion and a pharmacological inhibitor, we found that inhibiting Egln1 systemically or in skeletal muscles protects mice against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Parabiosis experiments confirmed that RIPC in this latter model was mediated by a secreted factor. Egln1 loss causes accumulation of circulating αKG, which drives hepatic production and secretion of kynurenic acid (KYNA) that is necessary and sufficient to mediate cardiac ischemic protection in this setting.

Introduction: Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) which consists of repeated brief episodes of non-lethal limb ischaemia is associated with organ protection and improved clinical outcomes through complex pathophysiological pathways. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the postoperative effects of RIPC in bowel recovery and surgical morbidity after colorectal surgery.
Methods: In strict adherence to the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was performed for studies comparing the postoperative effect RIPC in colorectal surgery.

Background: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), a novel neuroprotective therapy, has broad potential for reducing the occurrence and recurrence of cerebrovascular events, yet its mechanisms are not incompletely understood. The aim of this study is to investigate whether RIC alleviates apoptosis, inflammation, and reperfusion injury in rat models of ischemic stroke by regulating the Elabela (ELA)-apelin-Apelin receptor (APJ) system.
Methods: We established a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with ischemia-reperfusion injury, and RIC was administered twice daily for 3 days post-MCAO.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) frequently coexist in patients, with the development of AF often preceding HF decompensation. We sought to evaluate whether daily remote monitoring of ICD parameters could predict AF occurrence using machine learning techniques in a real-world cohort.
Methods: Data from patients with primary prevention ICDs transmitted daily to the Northwell centralized remote monitoring center between 2012 and 2021 were extracted.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of death worldwide and the most common precursor to heart failure, even after initial treatment. Precise evaluation of myocardial injury is crucial for assessing interventions and improving outcomes. Extensive evidence from both preclinical models and clinical studies demonstrates that the extent and severity of myocardial injury (i.

Background: Despite successful recanalization after endovascular thrombectomy, more than half of patients with acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusions experience an unsatisfactory outcome. Incomplete microvascular reperfusion may contribute to it, but its occurrence remains debated, partly due to clinical observations of hyperperfusion after recanalization. This study investigates the relationship between ischemia duration, infarct development, microclot presence, and cerebral perfusion in a swine model of focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.
