Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview

3.4K
Ischemic heart disease occurs when the heart's blood supply dwindles, causing an ominous lack of oxygen and nutrients. This deficiency, stemming from reduced or obstructed blood flow, spells danger, leading to heart muscle damage and dysfunction.
Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and...

Amyloid Fibrils

12.0K
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins.  Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils. 
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen.   In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Perinatal Asphyxia

Background:

  • Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe clinical syndrome in term newborns resulting from fetal asphyxia.
  • Incidence varies globally, with higher rates in developing countries.
  • Key causes include placental detachment, umbilical cord prolapse, and uterine rupture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic criteria and clinical spectrum of HIE.
  • To evaluate the prognostic value of EEG and MRI.
  • To assess the efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia in reducing HIE-related mortality and morbidity.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis based on clinical presentation, Apgar scores, acidemia, and neurological assessment.
  • Neuroimaging techniques including EEG and MRI for diagnosis and prognosis.
  • Therapeutic hypothermia (33.5°C for 72 hours) initiated within 6 hours of birth.

Main Results:

  • Mild HIE cases show full recovery, while moderate to severe forms lead to permanent deficits (48%) or death (27%).
  • EEG and MRI demonstrate high diagnostic and prognostic accuracy.
  • Induced hypothermia reduced mortality from 35% to 27% and morbidity from 48% to 27%.

Conclusions:

  • HIE is a significant cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity.
  • Early diagnosis and prognostication are crucial.
  • Therapeutic hypothermia is a highly effective intervention for improving outcomes in HIE.
