These two mechanisms of donor death result in distinct pathophysiological alterations that impact myocardial viability, inflammatory activation, and immune recognition. DBD is characterized by a catecholamine surge, hormonal collapse, and systemic inflammation, contributing to endothelial dysfunction and immunologic priming.

This review presents a detailed analysis of how the cause of donor death influences clinical outcomes in heart transplantation. It explores the mechanistic underpinnings of DBD- and DCD-associated injury, assesses their impact on post-transplant complications, and evaluates emerging strategies such as ex vivo perfusion, donor-derived cell-free DNA monitoring, and gene expression profiling.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the pathophysiology and risk factors underlying pressure injury development, emphasizing the unique vulnerabilities of patients with sensory loss, malnutrition, obesity, and incontinence. It synthesizes current best practices in prevention, including repositioning schedules, the use of pressure-redistributing support surfaces, moisture control, and nutritional optimization.

One of the major contributors is metabolic syndrome, which has a variety of different elements that affect the issue under discussion such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and obesity, which are highly prevalent in patients troubled with this injury. The purpose of this article is to critically review the information from various scientific reports on the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of metabolic syndrome increasing the rate of injury and delaying recovery after repair. After critical examination of the findings from many publications in this area, it can be concluded that the factors associated with the metabolic syndrome play a negative role and support the underlying thesis on prolonged recovery with poor outcome following tendon repair in the shoulder. Diabetes Mellitus with elevated insulin levels increases inflammation and cell apoptosis, decreasing healing factors post-surgery. The occurrence of hyperlipidemia and obesity can increase the deposition of xanthomas and the release of adipokines, respectively, which has been proven to delay wound healing as well as increase the risk of reinjury. Studies have also shown that patients with metabolic syndrome who have had a rotator cuff repair tend to have prolonged hospital stays, a higher incidence of reinjury, and increased instances of rehospitalization. The findings together further emphasize the negative effect of metabolic syndrome and how its actions can affect the outcome of the recovery process and lifestyle of a patient post-surgery. These findings further establish the critical consideration of such factors as a cause for incidence, reinjury/rehospitalization, and prolongation of surgical recovery.</p>","PeriodicalId":73961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of surgery and research","volume":"8 1","pages":"202-210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12165462/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144303864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this way, the application of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments is crucial to achieving better recovery of patients. We recently observed that the application of a low frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) decreases the expression of pro-inflammatory markers in an animal model of Traumatic Brain Injury in swine. To characterize this effect in terms of individualized response of neurons and microglial cells, we performed an in vitro model of pro-inflammatory damage by treating two different cell lines with tumor necrosis factor-α and then stimulating the cells with two frequencies of EMF. Transcriptional expression of inflammatory mediators was analyzed 24 and 48 hours after. Our results showed that both cell lines are susceptible to EMF, responding to the treatment by reducing the levels of the target genes in study. These observations further support the anti-inflammatory effect of EMF in the function of neurons and microglial cells and thus enhancing the recovery following traumatic brain injury, as observed under in vivo conditions in both experimental animals and human. These findings lay the foundation and warrants further preclinical and clinical studies to determine the effective frequency and duration of EMF stimulation in the healing of brain injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":73961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of surgery and research","volume":"8 3","pages":"305-312"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12330400/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144801179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we critically reviewed the various complications. Additionally, we discussed the biological basis of radiation-induced tissue damage, the impact of implant-based and autologous tissue reconstruction, and the functional and aesthetic results of the reconstruction. Indeed, several radioprotective agents can attenuate the adverse effects of post-mastectomy radiotherapy while sustaining oncologic efficacy. Radioprotective agents, including free radical scavengers and antioxidants, offer promising strategies to protect tissues from the oxidative stress and inflammation induced by radiotherapy. The role of several radioprotective agents, including amifostine, N-acetylcysteine, tempol, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) plasmid liposomes, vitamin E, and beta-carotene has been analyzed with a focus on their logistical applications in breast reconstruction.
