In Vitro Contracture Test Results and Anaesthetic Management of a Patient with Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy for Cardiac Transplantation by Frank Schuster, Carsten Wessig, Christoph Schimmer, Stephan Johannsen, Marc Lazarus, Ivan Aleksic, Rainer Leyh, Norbert Roewer

“…In vitro contracture test results of two pectoralis major muscle bundles of the patient suggest that exposition to triggering agents does not induce a pathological sarcoplasmic calcium release in the lamin A/C phenotype. However, due to the lack of evidence in the literature, we would recommend TIVA for patients with EDMD if general anaesthesia is required.…”

Moving from an “anti-aging” paradigm toward the concept of “disease-free aging”: the role of senolytics in modern medicine by Ivan Aprahamian, Andréia Pain, Virgílio Garcia Moreira

“…Senescent cells increase with aging and are related to the promotion of inflammation and neoplasia through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). These cells are closely related to the biological aging process and, most importantly, to age-associated diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. …”
