Modern day cardiac surgery evolved upon the advent of cardiopulmonary bypass machines
(CPB) in the 1950s. Following this development, cardiac surgery in recent years has …

Even in milder cases, neurologic complications related to cardiac surgery increase mortality,
hospitalization time, and rehabilitation costs, and so contribute to the decrease in quality of …

Perioperative cerebral ischemic insults are common in some surgical procedures. The
notion that induced hypothermia can be employed to improve outcome in surgical patients …

Objective: The present study is to describe the clinical impact of S100 and S100β for the
evaluation of cerebral damage in cardiac surgery with or without the use of cardiopulmonary …

A debate has emerged in recently published studies about the optimum cardiopulmonary
bypass temperature for good neurological outcome–warm vs. cold, ie normothermic vs …

Introduction Elevated serum levels of S100β, an astrocyte-derived protein, correlate with
unfavourable neurological outcomes following cardiac surgery, neurotrauma, and …

Radiotherapy (RT) plays a key role in brain tumours but can negatively impact functional
outcomes and quality of life. The aim of this study was to analyse anti-neural and onconeural …

Cerebral injury in children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains a major
source of morbidity. The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass temperature on cerebral function …

Background: Impaired cerebral oxygenation, which is reflected by measuring jugular bulb
oxygenation, is thought to play an important role in the development of neurological injury …

Background: Hypothermia is usually used during cardiac surgery to further protect against
cardiac and cerebral ischemia. However, cognitive impairment could be a common …
