Does the Centers for Disease Control's NNIS system risk index stratify patients undergoing cardiothoracic operations by their risk of surgical-site infection?
Marie Claude Roy,Loreen A. Herwaldt,Richard P. Embrey,Kristen Kuhns,Richard P. Wenzel,Trish M. Perl +5 more
TL;DR: The risk of SSI after cardiothoracic operations increases as the NNIS risk index score increases, however, this index only dichotomized the patient population on the basis of the procedure duration, and more research is needed to develop a risk index that adequately stratifies the population by risk ofSSI.

Mechanism of coronary microvascular responses to metabolic stimulation
TL;DR: Cor coronary microvascular dilation in response to increased metabolic stimulation using dobutamine in conjunction with rapid pacing is mediated through a nitric-oxide-dependent mechanism and not ATP-sensitive potassium channels, which may have important implications in pathological disease states where nitric oxide mechanisms are impaired.

Influenza A Pneumonitis Following Treatment of Acute Cardiac Allograft Rejection with Murine Monoclonal Anti-CD3 Antibody (OKT3)
Richard P. Embrey,Lois J. Geist +1 more
TL;DR: The virulence of the patient's, life-threatening infection appears to be secondary to impairment of T lymphocyte-mediated immunity by OKT3, and the role of therapeutic and even prophylactic amantadine therapy in this clinical setting has yet to be determined.
