Article Abstract
Background: Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is used to overcome the threat of cerebral ischemia during complex surgical operations of the heart and the aortic arch. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been shown to mitigate neurological damage.
Methods: We analyzed blood samples in a consecutive series of 52 piglets that underwent a 60-min period of DHCA with RIPC (the RIPC group) or without (the control group), to reveal whether the protective effect to oxidative stress could be seen by measuring serum 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). The piglets were cannulated and cooled to 18°C using a heart-lung machine, for the DHCA. The piglets were then rewarmed to normothermic temperature. Blood sampling was taken at baseline, after 30 minutes of cooling, 2 hours postoperatively, and 8 hours postoperatively, and analyzed. 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) from blood samples was analyzed by using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).
Results: The serum 8-OHdG concentration was lower in the RIPC group after the cooling phase, 1.84 (1.44-2.17) ng/mL, and at 8 hours after HCA 1.48 (1.39-1.69) ng/mL, when compared with the control group, where the values were 2.14 (1.81-2.56) and 1.84 (1.62-2.44) ng/mL, respectively (P = .025) and (P = .004).
Conclusion: Remote ischemic preconditioning lowers oxidative stress during cardiopulmonary bypass.

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.
