Atrio ventricular cannal defect  Atrioventricular canal defect, also known as atrioventricular septal defect, is a congenital heart condition that affects the structure of the heart. This defect involves abnormal development of the septum that separates the atria and ventricles, leading to abnormal blood flow between the chambers. In this article, we will explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and long-term outlook for individuals with atrioventricular canal defect. Understanding this condition is crucial for early detection, intervention, and management to improve the quality of life for those affected. 1. Introduction to Atrioventricular Canal Defect Definition of Atrioventricular Canal Atrioventricular Canal Defect Atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD) is a congenital heart condition where there is a hole in the center of the heart that affects the valves and chambers. Essentially, it's like having a built-in shortcut for blood flow in your heart. Types of A...

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is a standard procedure for patients who require CABG in Japan, with OPCAB performed in >60 % of patients who undergo CABG. This widespread use of OPCAB in Japan is supported by a number of studies that have been performed in the Japanese population. This chapter introduces those studies that have had a signifi cant impact on OPCAB-related practice and consists of four primary sections that summarize the technical aspects, patient management, intraoperative graft evaluation, and surgical outcomes related to OPCAB. Although the majority of these studies were conducted retrospectively in single institutions, they are well designed, relevant, and innovative. To establish evidence for guidelines to be used in Japanese clinical settings, larger multicenter, randomized prospective, and observational studies using nationwide databases should be conducted. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1v22y-8wy66JuDM4HX3YKZtthlNu8SD_O

In medicine, hemofiltration , also haemofiltration , is a renal replacement therapy which is used in the intensive care setting. It is usually used to treat acute kidney injury (AKI), but may be of benefit in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome or sepsis. During hemofiltration, a patient's blood is passed through a set of tubing (a filtration circuit ) via a machine to a semipermeable membrane (the filter ) where waste products and water (collectively called ultrafiltrate ) are removed by convection. Replacement fluid is added and the blood is returned to the patient

Myocardial protection was a key part of these developments that allowed safe cardiac surgery to be performed. The term myocardial protection encompasses more than just cardioplegia, and can be said to include things such as the perioperative management of patients with medical treatment (such as beta-blockers, etc.), or support devices (such as intraaortic balloon pumps), better anesthetic agents,and better hemodynamic management. All of these treatments contribute to making cardiac surgery safer, and to get a sick patient through a major operation. However, for the purposes of our discussion we will focus more on the development of cardioplegia. This is a very large field of research and has been reviewed in several books and review articles. In one chapter we will only be able to go over some of the important highlights, and give a general outline of the work that has brought us to where we are today. Cardioplegia The first use of "elective cardiac arrest" was b...
