Normothermic Ex Situ Heart Perfusion in Working Mode: Assessment of Cardiac Function and Metabolism

Normothermic ex situ heart perfusion (ESHP), preserves the heart in a beating, semi-physiologic state. When performed in a working mode, ESHP provides the opportunity to perform sophisticated assessments of donor heart function and organ viability. Here, we describe our method for myocardial performance evaluation during...

Multidisciplinary Approach to Obesity Management: A Case Report

Obesity care is best delivered after in-depth initial screening and evaluation, using an individualized approach comprising multidisciplinary care, evidence-based lifestyle behavioral change strategies, and frequent follow-up. We illustrate a successful 6 month course of weight loss treatment, resulting in reversal of obesity-related chronic conditions and improvement in diet, sleep, mood, and physical fitness.

Modified Langendorff Perfusion for Extended Perfusion Times of Rodent Cardiac Grafts

This article demonstrates the feasibility of achieving longer perfusion times (4 h) of murine cardiac grafts without function loss by employing lower (30-35 mmHg) than physiological (60-80 mmHg) perfusion pressures during Langendorff.

Pharmacokinetics in Obese Patients: Drug Metabolism and Excretion

Drug metabolism, a critical process in the liver, involves two primary phases: Phase I reactions and Phase II conjugation. Obesity introduces significant alterations in this metabolic process, primarily due to fatty infiltration of the liver, leading to conditions such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This condition can modify the activities of both Phase I and II enzymes, impacting how drugs are metabolized in obese patients.Phase I metabolism sees variable effects across...

Intra-cardiac Side-Firing Light Catheter for Monitoring Cellular Metabolism using Transmural Absorbance Spectroscopy of Perfused Mammalian Hearts

Here we introduce a method for using an intra-ventricle optical catheter in perfused hearts to perform absorbance spectroscopy across the heart wall. The data obtained provides robust information on tissue oxygen tension as well as substrate utilization and membrane potential simultaneously with cardiac performance measures in this ubiquitous...
