INTRACARDIAC ATRIAL OVERDRIVE PACING AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION IN THE TREATMENT OF CARDIOGENIC SHOCK DUE TO DRUG REFRACTORY AND INCESSANT PERSISTENT JUNCTIONAL RECIPROCATING TACHYCARDIA IN A 7-MONTH-OLD INFANT

Intracardiac atrial overdrive pacing as an alternative to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the treatment of cardiogenic shock due to drug refractory and incessant persistent junctional reciprocating tachycardia in a 7-month-old infant

In the case of prolonged, undiagnosed persistent junctional reciprocating tachycardia in infants, compensatory mechanisms are exhausted leading to heart failure.However, when cardioverted to sinus rhythm patients often deteriorate due to cardiac output dependency on the higher rates.Extracorporeal mechanical oxygenation (ECMO) is often used to stab

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in the Autoimmunity Context

The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a strategy utilized by neutrophils for capturing infective agents.Extracellular traps consist in a physical net made of DNA and intracellular proteins externalized from neutrophils, where bacteria and viruses are entrapped and killed by proteolysis.A complex series of events contributes to a
