Injecting hydrogels containing stem cell or exosome therapeutics directly into the pericardial cavity could be a less invasive, less costly, and more effective means of treating cardiac injury, ...

Intrapericardial drug delivery is a promising procedure, with the ability to localize therapeutics with the heart. Gelfoam particles are nontoxic, inexpensive, nonimmunogenic and biodegradable ...

Pericardial effusion means the build-up of too much fluid in the double-layered, saclike structure near one’s heart (pericardium). Pericardial effusion can lead to excess pressure on the heart, ...

As important and durable as it is, the heart has quite a lot of difficulty in repairing itself after sustaining damage. But now, researchers from the University of Calgary have found a previously ...

The inflammation or infection that occurs in the pericardium is called pericarditis. Inflammation of the pericardial layers ensues when the membrane gets thickened and the layers rub against each ...

Large malignant pericardial effusions are managed by draining the fluid, unless the goals of therapy are to use a less invasive approach that may improve quality of life but not help the patient live ...

The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a potentially lethal complication of the administration of gonadotropin for the induction of ovulation. The condition occurs in up to 5% of patients undergoing ...

A 48-year-old man with trisomy 21 was transferred to our cardiology service because of acute dyspnea. At presentation, his blood pressure was 70/50 mm Hg, with a heart rate of 130 beats/min and an ...

- Next week, do blood vessels below the heart. - To help with the lab, there are a number of photos and diagrams on the bench. Start your dissection with the heart. Make a medial incision on the ...
