Misalignment of disposable pulse oximeter probes results in false saturation readings that influence anesthetic management.

30 Oct 2009 We report a small case series in which misaligned disposable pulse oximeter sensors gave falsely low saturation readings. In each instance, the sensor performed well during preinduction oxygen administration and the early part of the case, most ... Read more...

Leptin attenuates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced activation of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in rat H9c2 cells.

30 Oct 2009 Cardiomyocyte apoptosis is a component of cardiac remodeling that can contribute to heart failure in obesity. A role for leptin in mediating this process has been suggested and the objective of this work was to investigate the effect of leptin on ... Read more...

Hypoxia-induced expression of bradykinin type-2 receptors in endothelial cells triggers NO production, cell migration, and angiogenesis.

30 Oct 2009 Bradykinin receptors are differentially expressed in the coronary vascular endothelium of rat and human hearts during the pathogenesis of heart failure, but the mechanisms responsible for this regulation have remained vague. Here we show by ... Read more...
