DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehz748.0639
Abstract: Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is assumed as a complex and multifactorial interaction of different pathogenic factors. Data suggests an inflammatory process as a main trigger of this specific type of atrial fibrillation. CD8+ T lymphocytes… read more here.

DOI: 10.2147/cia.s193605
Abstract: Background/aims The pathophysiology of delirium is poorly understood. Increasing evidence suggests that different pathways might be involved in the pathophysiology depending on the population studied. The aim of the present study was to investigate potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.23736/s0375-9393.22.16293-0
Abstract: BACKGROUND Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a serious complication in children after cardiac surgery that may result from micro-aspiration. However, the current recommendation to use cuffed tracheal tubes (TTs) versus uncuffed TTs in children is still… read more here.
