Does experimentally-Induced Metabolic Acidosis Alter Aortic Fatty Streak Formation in High-Cholesterol Fed Rabbits?
In this model of experimentally-induced metabolic acidosis, acidosis could not increase FS formation in HCD animals and it seems that it does not interfere in progression of atherosclerosis process.
The results of this study suggest that implementation of a clinical pathway can be beneficial for efficient management of postoperative care in the setting of microvascular head and neck reconstruction. More predictable and shorter lengths of stay are achievable and the clinical pathway serves as a valuable means of improving communication of the clinical care team.
