Researcher from University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center Details New Studies and Findings in the Area of Cell Adhesion Molecules (Compartmentalization of the Inflammatory Response in the Pericardial Cavity in Patients Undergoing Cardiac...).

Researchers from University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center conducted a study on the inflammatory response in the pericardial cavity of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. They found that there is a robust systemic and pericardial inflammatory response after surgery, with distinct patterns of inflammatory activity in the pericardial cavity. The study concluded that there is compartmentalization of the inflammatory response within the pericardial cavity following cardiac surgery. This research provides valuable insights into the local inflammatory changes that occur in the pericardial cavity during cardiac surgery. [Extracted from the article]
