Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications01:24

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

1.0K
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

2.4K
For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Asthma-III: Symptoms and Complications

3.4K
Asthma, a common chronic respiratory condition, is classified considering the frequency and severity of symptoms alongside lung function impairment. Understanding this classification is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Here's a detailed look at the classification of asthma and its clinical features and complications:

Real Number Operations01:27

Real Number Operations

The concept of real numbers includes all the values that can be represented on a continuous number line. The system began with basic counting values used for enumeration. It later expanded to include values that represent the absence of quantity and opposites of the counting values. When situations required expressing parts of a whole or dividing quantities evenly, values capable of representing such proportions were developed. When written using decimal notation, these values can end or repeat...

Operational Amplifiers01:17

Operational Amplifiers

2.0K
The operational amplifier, often referred to as an op-amp, is a multifaceted building block of a circuit. This electronic component functions like a voltage-controlled voltage source and can also be used to create a voltage- or current-controlled current source. The design of an operational amplifier enables it to execute mathematical operations when external components like resistors and capacitors are linked to its terminals. An op-amp has the capacity to sum signals, amplify a signal,...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiology
  • Geriatrics

Background:

  • Cardiac surgery poses significant risks for brain injury, impacting patient morbidity and mortality.
  • The increasing elderly population undergoing cardiac procedures heightens the frequency of these neurological complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the causes and risk factors associated with peri-operative stroke, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and postoperative delirium.
  • To discuss prevention strategies, including brain protection, embolism avoidance, and management of cerebral hypoperfusion.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on brain injury following cardiac surgery.
  • Analysis of risk factors, aetiology, and preventative measures for neurological complications.

Main Results:

  • Identified key risk factors and aetiologies for peri-operative neurological deficits.
  • Outlined various brain protection strategies and methods to prevent cerebral embolism and hypoperfusion.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced age is a critical risk factor for brain injury after cardiac surgery.
  • Proactive prevention strategies are essential to mitigate neurological complications and improve patient outcomes.
