Disease relevance of ACLS

• The ACLS score. Predicting survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [1].
• However, the long-term survival rate (14/105) of ventricular fibrillation remained low because of excessive delays in emergency medical service (EMS) access and in early ACLS [2].
• Acrocallosal syndrome (ACLS), also known by its synonyms: Schinzel Acrocallosal syndrome and Hallux duplication, Postaxial polydactyly and absence of corpus callosum, is a rare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth [3].
• This, the second of a two-part series, covers the causes, diagnosis, and management of pacemaker malfunction; the pacemaker syndrome; the pacemaker Twiddler's syndrome; and other considerations in the paced patient including diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, ACLS protocols, trauma, and sources of interference [4].
• Typical characteristics of ACLS are hypoplasia/agenesis of corpus callosum, moderate to severe mental retardation, characteristic craniofacial abnormalities, distinctive digital malformations and growth retardation [3].

Psychiatry related information on ACLS

• The effect of basic and advanced cardiac life support (BLS and ACLS) on long-term survival is dependent upon both the response time and the quality of intervention [5].

High impact information on ACLS

• Patients in medical cardiac arrest, managed by ACLS guidelines, underwent placement of aortic arch (Ao), jugular venous bulb (JVB), and right atrial (RA) catheters [6].
• There are also many shared controversies between APLS and ACLS, including the use of calcium, epinephrine vs isoproterenol, methoxamine, and bicarbonate [7].
• Acrocallosal syndrome is an autosomal recessive form of polysyndactyly associated with mental retardation and agenesis of the corpus callosum [8].
• Acrocallosal syndrome (ACS) is an autosomal recessive condition, characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, pre- and postaxial polydactyly, minor craniofacial anomalies, and, in most patients, severe psychomotor retardation [9].
• Sibs with anencephaly, anophthalmia, clefts, omphalocele, and polydactyly: hydrolethalus or acrocallosal syndrome [10]?

Chemical compound and disease context of ACLS

• Epinephrine doses in cardiac arrest: is it time to outgrow the orthodoxy of ACLS [11]?
• Recent case reports have evidenced a temporal association between administration of i.v. magnesium sulfate (M) and resuscitation from prolonged cardiac arrest refractory to standard (S) ACLS attempts [12].

Biological context of ACLS

• The dose of epinephrine currently advocated in the ACLS protocols may be inadequate to increase aortic diastolic pressure and coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures and thus aid resuscitation [13].
• OBJECTIVE: To determine the retention of Advanced Cardiac Life Support training of internal medicine residents as a function of the time since successfully completing ACLS training [14].
• An overwhelming majority supported ACLS and ATLS certification, as well as formal training in Management/Clinical Budgeting skills, the use of Information Technology, dealing with medicolegal issues and Disaster Planning. Secondments to General Practice, Regional Poisons Centres and the Emergency Services were similarly recommended [15].
• They are also the fourth set of sibs described with ACS, and together with the parental consanguinity documented in this family, confirm autosomal recessive inheritance of this syndrome [16].
• Could acrocallosal syndrome and Greig syndrome affect the same developmental gene [17]?

Anatomical context of ACLS

• Both fetuses also lacked eyes and nose, a finding not previously reported in the acrocallosal syndrome [10].

Associations of ACLS with chemical compounds

• Sodium bicarbonate usage rates correlated inversely with the sites' intervals from collapse (r = - 0.579 P = 0.018) from initiation of ACLS (r = - 0.685 P = 0.003) and from first epinephrine (r = - 0.611 P = 0.012) to SB administration [18].
• Amiodarone for ACLS: a critical evaluation [19].

Other interactions of ACLS

• De novo GLI3 mutation in acrocallosal syndrome: broadening the phenotypic spectrum of GLI3 defects and overlap with murine models [20].
• Severe acrocallosal syndrome or acromelic frontonasal dysplasia [21]?
• Fronto-nasal dysostosis, callosal agenesis, crossed-fused ectopia, tibial hemimelia, and preaxial polydactyly of feet: severe expression of the acrocallosal syndrome [22]?

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ACLS

• A portable cardiopulmonary bypass system that can be rapidly deployed in a nonsurgical setting using nursing staff was used in 38 patients with cardiovascular collapse refractory to ACLS protocol [23].
• For dentists administering deep sedation and general anesthesia, expertise in ACLS is the community standard [24].
• Emergency aspects of critical care. The updated ACLS standards. Part I. The lethal dysrhythmias [25].
• The biosorption behaviour followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the ACLS biosorbent was shown to be highly effective in removing Cd(II) from a 10 mg l(-1) solution in a continuous flow fixed-bed column bioreactor [26].
• Transport personnel should be completely familiar with the function of the IABP console; capable of handling bleeding at the balloon site, should it occur; capable of delivering intravenous medications, CPR, and ACLS; and proficient in operation of the ventilator, hemodynamic monitoring, and aerohemodynamics [27].
