Does Dysphoria Lead to Divergent Mental Fatigue Effects on a Cognitive Task?
One explanation for the absence of divergent effect is that dysphoria may not have such a profound impact on available cognitive resources, like attention, as initially thought. Based on the results of the present study, we conclude that dysphoria is not necessarily an increased risk factor for impaired sustained performance on cognitive tasks that may induce mental fatigue.
Hypothermic low flow extends exposure to CPB, and is associated with an increased inflammatory response compared with HCA. The greater inflammatory response after HLF may result in substantial nonneurologic morbidity in the postoperative period, demonstrated by pulmonary and right ventricular dysfunction. Interventions that attenuate the inflammatory response to CPB may prevent pulmonary and right ventricular dysfunction after HLF.
