Does almitrine fail to improve oxygenation during one-lung ventilation with sevoflurane anesthesia?
During anesthesia with sevoflurane for open-chest OLV, almitrine failed to improve oxygenation and increased pulmonary artery pressure. The combination of sevoflurane and almitrine should, therefore, be avoided.
Factor inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor-1 is widely expressed in prostate tumors. Its differential subcellular expression suggests that regulation of its expression is an important factor in the activity of the hypoxia-inducible factor pathway. Its modulation may help treat hypoxia-inducible factor driven aggressive prostate cancer.
