Pregnancy-Associated Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Anesthetic Considerations

Received: 29 August 2024;  Published: 20 March 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2501243

Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) accounts for one-third of all peripartum myocardial infarction. Peripartum SCAD is associated with increased severity. We surmise that altered maternal cardiac physiology increases susceptibility to SCAD and warrants consideration when managing cardiac ischemia. One week after vaginal delivery, a 35-year [...]

Neurotoxicity Following Exposure to Micro and Nanoplastics

Received: 13 December 2024;  Published: 16 March 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2501277

Abstract

The pervasive presence and enduring existence of micro and nanoplastics in the environment render their exposure to humans and aquatic creatures unavoidable. Research indicates these tiny plastic particles can be taken in by aquatic beings and mammals. Once within the body, micro and nanoplastics have the capability to infiltrate the brain, although [...]

Review of Heterotopic Heart Transplantation Models in Rats

Received: 21 October 2024;  Published: 14 March 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2501242

Abstract

Heterotopic heart transplantation (HHT) in rats is a valuable tool for cardiac transplantation research. While abdominal HHT has been established in rats for nearly 90 years, novel approaches involving cervical and femoral techniques have also been explored.
