The present study demonstrates that the sustained expression of human VEGF165, after rAAV vector-mediated delivery in infarcted canine heart, markedly improves tissue viability and restores cardiac function. This is the first evidence that a VEGF-based gene therapy approach might be of important therapeutic value in the early phases of acute myocardial infarction and that its beneficial effect extends beyond the well-known angiogenic properties of VEGF. Our results underscore the importance of exploiting large animals to assess the functional impact of new therapeutic strategies that might be ultimately translated to the clinics.. VEGF gene delivery resulted in marked improvement in contractile function of the infarcted region. At 4 weeks after infarction, regional fractional shortening and shortening work returned to 75% and 54% of controls, respectively, in the VEGF-treated animals, whereas the same indexes remained almost unchanged compared with the acute phase (0%) in the LacZ-treated ...

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can be used to assess myocardial viability. Preserved myocardial wall thickness of more than 5.5 mm has a good sensitivity of 95%, but low specificity for detecting myocardial viability on CMR.. Delayed or late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on CMR indicates myocardial scar. If the extent of scar is less as indicated by less than 50% transmural extent of hyperenhancement indicates viability. If 4 or more dysfunctional segments show viability, it has a good sensitivity of 95%, again with low specificity of 45%.. Dobutamine cine MRI is useful in assessing the contractile reserve of the myocardium. Improvement in myocardial thickening of more than 2 mm with low dose dobutamine CMR is indicative of viability.. CMR has the advantage of an accurate assessment of the extent of myocardial scar with superior spatial resolution. Wall thickness can be accurately measured by CMR. The image quality is not limited by characteristics of patient chest wall as in ...

The social worker spoke to the district nurse on 24 December 2018. The district nurse said Mr C was seen on 22 December 2018. The pressure sores were still at grade 4. The problem was that Mr C was incontinent of faeces and the faeces then spread over the wounds which severely reduced the healing process. The district nurse team had made a referral to the tissue viability nurse on 20 December 2018, but the tissue viability nurse team was short staffed. The social worker said she would hold a multi-disciplinary meeting to discuss the matter but would wait until the tissue viability nurse had been to see Mr C. The social worker said she would incorporate this safeguarding referral with the other existing referrals ...

Left ventricular functions are among the most important predictors of prognosis in cases with coronary artery disease. Cases with moderate or high degree of left ventricular function are at high risk of death and correct evaluation of myocardial viability is clinically important while they are under medical therapy. In a considerably high percent of these patients, significant improvements occur in left ventricular functions after successful revascularization. In both left ventricular function and viability assessment there are many invasive and non-invasive (echocardiography, nuclear imaging, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, etc.) diagnostic methods. Here in this paper we will discuss solely role of echocardiography in the assessment of viability in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.. Keywords: poor ventricle, viability, ...

Operator-independent assessment of skin blanching is important in the development and evaluation of topically applied steroids. Spectroscopic instruments based on hand-held probes, however, include elements of operator dependence such as difference in applied pressure and probe misalignment, while laser Doppler-based methods are better suited for demonstration of skin vasodilatation than for vasoconstriction.. To demonstrate the potential of the emerging technology of Tissue Viability Imaging (TiVi) in the objective and operator-independent assessment of skin blanching.. The WheelsBridge TiVi600 Tissue Viability Imager was used for quantification of human skin blanching with the Minolta chromameter CR 200 as an independent colorimeter reference method. Desoximetasone gel 0.05% was applied topically on the volar side of the forearm under occlusion for 6 h in four healthy adults.

Background. Assessment of myocardial viability is important for the risk stratification of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is useful for the detection of viable myocardium in akinetic area but its accuracy depends on the experience of the readers. Strain image analysis based on 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking enables objective and quantitative evaluation of regional myocardial contractility. We investigated whether 2D strain image analysis could detect myocardial viability on the early stage of AMI.. Methods. Myocardial viability was assessed by low-dose DSE on day-3 in 16 patients (age 61±12 years) with AMI, using Vivid-7 (GE Medical Systems). We measured longitudinal and transverse peak systolic strain and strain rate (SR) at baseline and during low-dose DSE within akinetic segments on the apical images.. Results. Low-dose DSE detected viability in 24 out of 48 akinetic segments. The viable segments showed better ...

Background. Prior works showed that delayed-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (DE-cMR) predicts recovery of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) after revascularization in coronary artery disease (CAD). We sought to evaluate impact of myocardial viability assessment by DE-cMR and of revascularization therapy on survival of patients (pts) with low ejection fraction (EF).. Methods and Results. We prospectively evaluated survival of 144 consecutive pts (130 males, 65±11 years) with CAD and LVD (EF 24±7%) undergoing DE-cMR. 86 pts underwent complete revascularization of dysfunctional myocardium (79 CABG, 7 PCI), while 58 pts remained under medical treatment. Pts were considered to have viable myocardium if ,4 dysfunctional segments had ,50% transmurality of DE. Over 3-years median follow-up 49 pts died. 3-year survival was significantly worse in pts with dysfunctional viable myocardium remaining under medical treatment (48%) than in medically treated pts with non-viable myocardium (77%, p=0.02 by ...

Background and Purpose: Perfusion imaging is used for patient selection in clinical practice and trials. Postprocessing and definitions of tissue viability are nevertheless not standardized. We compared the lesion volumes generated with two well-recognized perfusion tissue definitions in a single-center phase 2 thrombolysis study. Methods: We analyzed perfusion imaging data from the Alteplase-Tenecteplase Trial Evaluation for Stroke Thrombolysis (ATTEST) study using two popular tissue viability thresholds (ischemic core definition: (1) cerebral blood volume , 2.0 mL/100 g−1 or (2) relative cerebral blood flow , 40% that of the contralesional hemisphere and relative delay time ,2 seconds; penumbra definitions: (1) mean transit time , 145% of contralesional hemisphere or (2) relative delay time , 2 seconds). We compared volumes of core and penumbra, mismatch ratio, percentage, and volume of penumbra salvaged at 24 hours. Results: We included 73 (tenecteplase = 36, alteplase = 37) patients who ...

The term therapeutic angiogenesis is a concept that had first been introduced by the German gynecologist Michael Höckel in 1989 [1]. The idea was to induce capillary growth in order to improve regional tissue perfusion and to improve tissue viability following surgery. Much has happened in the field since then. Major angiogenesis factors and their receptors have been identified, isolated, cloned and characterized. Preclinical data has accumulated which clearly proves the concept that angiogenic growth factors are capable of inducing vascular and collateral growth. This had been shown for VEGF-A, for bFGF as well as for other growth factors [2]. Proof of concept had been achieved in animal models of both peripheral ischemia and regional myocardial ischemia in the early 1990s.. The concept of collateral artery growth has been modified by the introduction of the term arteriogenesis, which describes the growth of mature arteries [3] of large caliber. The prevailing concept is that these mature ...

Quantitative relation between myocardial viability and improvement in heart failure symptoms after revascularization in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Circulation. 1995 Dec 15; 92(12):3436-44 ...

According to the American Heart Association, at least 81,100,000 (1 in 3) American adults have some form of cardiovascular disease; approximately 17,600,000 have coronary artery disease, and nearly 6,000,000 have congestive cardiac failure (2). Assessment of myocardial viability in these patients has recently been revolutionized by the introduction of delayed enhancement (DE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). This simple, reproducible, noninvasive imaging technique yields images with high spatial and contrast resolution, permitting physicians to distinguish between myocardial scar/fibrosis and normal myocardium without exposing patients to iodinated contrast agents or ionizing radiation (3).. The importance of myocardial viability assessment relative to the success of coronary revascularization has been well documented (3,4). Furthermore, investigators have shown that the presence of myocardial scarring, as detected by CMR or gated single-photon emission computed tomography in preferred areas of ...

CT Perfusion (CTP) provides measurement of perfusion at the capillary level which can be used to characterize tissue viability, and blood-brain-barrier (BBB) compromise. Using CTP, the goals of this research are to: 1) select patients that will benefit from acute stroke treatment, and 2) determine if pre-stroke neuroprotection reduces stroke severity. Chapter two investigates the cerebral blood volume (CBV) parameter in a small acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patient set. Overestimation of the acute CBV defect is caused by incomplete wash-out of the CT contrast due to a shortened CTP acquisition time (

Skin irritation Reference Heppenheimer (2010) is considered as the key study for skin irritation and will be used for classification. The mean relative absorbance (% of the negative control, correlating with mean tissue viability) after 15 minutes incubation in the in vitro human skin model test (EpiSkin, according to OECD TG 439) was 95.1%. The classification criteria according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 as skin irritant are not met, since the mean tissue viability was above the threshold for skin irritants of 50.0%. No classification required. Eye irritation The references Heppenheimer (2011) and Mallaun (2011) are considered as the key studies for severe eye irritation and will be used for classification. According to Heppenheimer (2011) the mean in vitro score after 240 minutes incubation results of the in vitro bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay (BCOP, according to OECD TG 437) was 1.79. The value was below the threshold for severe eye irritants of 55.1. The classification ...

Formation of an infarct, which is necrosis in tissue due to local ischemia resulting from obstruction of blood circulation, most commonly by a thrombus or embolus. [MeSH] Pathology.-Infarction is a process that may result in ischemic necrosis, usually the consequence of vascular compromise such as occlusion of a feeding pulmonary artery by an embolus (venous infarction is rare but recognized). Necrosis is relatively uncommon because tissue viability is maintained by the bronchial arterial blood supply. Pulmonary infarction may be secondary to a vasculitis (eg, Wegener granulomatosis). Radiographs and CT scans.-A pulmonary infarct is typically triangular or dome-shaped, with the base abutting the pleura and the apex directed toward the hilum (Fig 27). The opacity represents local hemorrhage with or without central tissue necrosis (67,68). [Fleischner Society]. ...

Cardiovascular Perfusion Technology involves the study of physiology, pathology and associated equipment used to support and/or assume the function of the heart and/or lungs during medical procedures. The perfusion technologist prepares and operates the heart-lung machine and other sophisticated equipment as directed by healthcare physicians. The perfusionist measures various blood and other parameters to identify appropriate mechanical, pharmacological and thermal manipulation to maintain tissue viability. To perform these tasks the perfusionist must have a thorough understanding of the both respiratory and circulatory systems and be able to operate complex equipment. Additionally the perfusionist must be capable of handling stressful situations, pay great attention to detail, communicate effectively, and be willing to stay abreast of new developments in the profession.. While most perfusionists are employed by medical centers they may also be hired by individual surgeons, or perfusion ...

Spreading depression (SD) is a slowly propagating wave of transient neuronal and glial depolarization that develops after stroke, trauma and subarachnoid hemorrhage. In compromised tissue, repetitive SD-like injury depolarizations reduce tissue viability by worsening the mismatch between blood flow and metabolism. Although the mechanism remains unknown, SDs show delayed electrophysiological recovery within the ischemic penumbra. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the recovery rate of SD can be varied by modulating tissue perfusion pressure and oxygenation. Systemic blood pressure and arterial pO(2) were simultaneously manipulated in anesthetized rats under full physiologic monitoring. We found that arterial hypotension doubled the SD duration, whereas hypertension reduced it by a third compared with normoxic normotensive rats. Hyperoxia failed to shorten the prolonged SD durations in hypotensive rats, despite restoring tissue pO(2). Indeed, varying arterial pO(2) (40 to 400 mm Hg) alone did not

A new radiotracer, 18F-SynVesT-2, can directly assess synaptic density changes in the brain, providing an objective and quantitative measure of disease progression after stroke. Research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2020 Annual Meeting shows that the radiotracer may also offer a primary endpoint to evaluate treatment efficacy of novel therapeutics for stroke in clinical trials.. Current PET imaging of stroke focuses on the measurement of oxygen or glucose metabolism. 18F-FDG PET has been used to probe brain tissue viability after acute ischemic stroke, but transient hyperglycemia, a common phenomenon in acute stroke patients, affects FDG uptake and thereby confounds its interpretation.. Because synapse is a crucial microstructure for brain functions and synaptic deficit is a hallmark of stroke, we developed a new imaging method to assess synapses directly, providing an alternative to measuring metabolism to determine stroke progression, says Xueying Lyu, ...

This thesis project focuses on measurements of dermal microcirculation during vascular provocations with polarised light spectroscopy. This is done with a non-invasive method commercially available as Tissue viability imaging (TiVi) which measures concentration and oxygenation of red blood cells in the papillary dermis. Three studies were done with human subjects and one with an animal model, to validate and compare the TiVi technique with laser Doppler flowmetry, which is an established method of measuring dermal microcirculation.. The TiVi consists of a digital camera with polarisation filters in front of the flash and lens, with software for analysis of the picture. When taking a picture with the TiVi, the polarised light that is reflected on the skin surface is absorbed by the second filter over the lens (which is perpendicular to the first filter) but a portion of light penetrates the surface of the skin and is scattered when it is reflected on tissue components. This makes the light ...

The use of a faecal management system in sacral pressure ulcer care. This article aims to explore the perception that treatment of sacral pressure ulcers is costly and time-consuming, especially when faced with faecally incontinent patients with loose stool. The authors tissue viability service used a faecal management system to prevent faeces from coming into contact with the wound bed for 12 weeks, while simultaneously allowing a conventional dressing to perform to its maximum ability. A total cost and wound-healing comparison was carried out in two community patients who were faecally incontinent and bed-bound. One patient was managed with a faecal management system and the other with incontinence pads. The authors found that although the purchase of the faecal management system was initially costly, the frequency of dressing change was reduced, the patient felt more comfortable and fewer visits from the community nurses were necessary. Also, faster healing rates were demonstrated by ...
