Background The impact of recently introduced asymmetric bidirectional ablation catheters on procedural parameters and acute success rates of ablation procedures is unknown. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data regarding ablations using a novel bidirectional catheter in a tertiary cardiac center and ...
Thus, the pediatric simulator offers indis- pensable experience in managing cardiac arrests in children and pediatric trauma. Hegarty and his colleagues are design- ing new applications of simulation. These include teaching advanced pediatric airway procedural skills with the bron- choscopy simulator and...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. AF affects 1–2% of the general population worldwide, and the lifetime risk in Europe is 37% (34.3% to 39.6%)1. The main pathogenic mechanisms of AF include electrical remodeling, structural remodeling, calciu...
Overall, the OS and PFS of the oxaliplatin + raltitrexed group were longer than those of the FOLFOX group, but there were no significant differences between the two groups, and the examination indices of myocardial enzyme levels, cardiac color ultrasound results and other indicators did not ...
efficient strategies to overcome these resistances.Plant S-phase kinase-associated necessary protein 1 (SKP1) genes play important functions in plant development and differentiation. Nonetheless, the part of SKP1 in citrus is ambiguous. Herein, we described a novel SKP1-like gene, designated as ...
In previous experimental studies, HTS has improved myocardial blood flow in a pig model of cardiopulmonary resuscitation [20], increased cerebral blood flow in a rat model of cardiac arrest [21], and reduced mesenteric microcirculatory dysfunction in a rat model of strangulated small bowel ...
2955 Accesses 17 Citations 3 Altmetric Metrics details Abstract Restoration of sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation (AF) by radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is associated with a transient stunning of left atrial (LA) function. However, the long-term effects of different ablation strategies on...
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the flexible stent is designed to be crimped down to a reduced diameter and percutaneously delivered through a body lumen to a target site by a delivery catheter. The target site may be, for example, a cardiac artery. Once deployed the...
1. A system for processing at least one vital sign from a patient and generating an alarm, the system comprising: a first sensor comprising a first detector worn on the patient's body and configured to detect a first time-dependent physiological waveform indicative of one or more contractile ...
For example, the nanolipogel is loaded with a molecule that serves as an adjuvant and the nanolipogel thereafter incorporates one or more target antigens after formation, for the controlled release of adjuvant together with the antigens. Alternatively, the nanolipogel loaded with adjuvant is inse...
