An Introduction to Cell Death

An Introduction to Cell Death

Necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagic cell death are all manners in which cells can die, and these mechanisms can be induced by different stimuli, such as cell injury, low nutrient levels, or signaling proteins. Whereas necrosis is considered to be an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death, evidence exists that apoptosis and autophagy are both programmed and “planned” by cells.In this introductory video, JoVE highlights key discoveries pertaining to cell death,...

Neuro-rehabilitation Approach for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Neuro-rehabilitation Approach for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

This article reports the development of a neuro-rehabilitation approach, "constraint-induced sound therapy (CIST)" for sudden sensorineural hearing loss. The aim of CIST is to prevent maladaptive cortical reorganization by using an enriched acoustic environment. CIST represents a safe, easy, inexpensive, and effective approach to treat sudden sensorineural hearing...

Quantitative Aspects of Drug-Receptor Interaction

Quantitative Aspects of Drug-Receptor Interaction

The receptor occupancy theory connects a drug's response to the number of occupied receptors. With higher drug concentrations, more receptors are occupied, leading to increased responses. The formation of drug-receptor complexes involves association and dissociation rates, which reach equilibrium when the forward and backward reactions are equal. The equilibrium association constant (Ka) and its inverse, the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd), indicate drug affinity. Higher Ka and lower...

Neuronal Death Assay to Evaluate Cell Death in Ex Vivo Epilepsy Model

Neuronal Death Assay to Evaluate Cell Death in Ex Vivo Epilepsy Model

This video demonstrates the technique of assessing neuronal death in rhinal cortex-hippocampus organotypic slices. Neuronal death occurs via evolving epileptic seizures — resembling in vivo epilepsy — and is detected through dual-staining of the dead cells using propidium iodide and...

Overview of Cell Death

Overview of Cell Death

Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

Autophagic Cell Death

Autophagic Cell Death

Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and...

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Cardiac Surgery
Electrophysiology

Context:

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) management remains a critical challenge, particularly in elderly populations.
Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome are significant contributors to SCD.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT), especially coronarogenic VT, poses an elevated SCD risk.

Purpose:

To review and discuss optimal management strategies for patients susceptible to sudden cardiac death.
To highlight surgical approaches for managing arrhythmias associated with SCD risk.
To analyze operative outcomes in high-risk cardiac patient cohorts.

Summary:

The article addresses under-explored aspects of cardiac surgery concerning the management of patients at risk of sudden death.
Specific conditions discussed include sick sinus syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia (coronarogenic and postoperative).
Surgical methods and their outcomes for these high-risk patient groups are presented.

Impact:

Improved understanding of SCD risk factors in cardiac surgery patients.
Guidance on surgical interventions for specific arrhythmias.
Potential for enhanced patient outcomes and reduced mortality in high-risk populations.
