Patients with gonarthrosis and severe pain preoperatively may benefit from individualized pre- and intraoperative care, particularly preoperative analgesia and neuraxial anesthesia.
Our results indicate that microdialysis measurements parallel magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with revascularization of chronic ischemic myocardium with dyskinetic segments. The metabolism of those segments is characterized by a significantly increased tissue flow, an increased utilization of glucose and a better oxidative nutrition.
