Introduction: The management of patients with placenta accreta (PA) poses a challenge to health services. Although it may lead to devastating complications, its low incidence limits the development of expertize in all obstetric centers. We evaluated the results obtained from a multidisciplinary approach in patients with PA in a Latin American hospi...
While both baseline regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and intraoperative rSO2 decreases have prognostic importance in cardiac surgery, evidence is limited in patients who received interventions to correct rSO2 decreases. The primary aim was to examine the association between rSO2 values (both baseline rSO2 and intraoperative decrease in rS...

The Centers for Disease Control and Preventio...
Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) often results in pathophysiological damage that can manifest as both acute and chronic neurological deficits. In an attempt to repair and reconnect disrupted circuits to compensate for loss of afferent and efferent connections, maladaptive circuitry is created and contributes to neurological deficits, including pos...
