The shortage of appropriate donor organs and the expanding pool of patients waiting for heart transplantation have led to growing interest in alternative strategies, particularly in mechanical circulatory support.Improved results and the increased applicability and durability with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have enhanced this treatment
Where should I send it? Optimizing the submission decision process.
How do scientists decide where to submit manuscripts? Many factors influence this decision, including prestige, acceptance probability, turnaround time, target audience, fit, and impact factor.Here, we present a framework for evaluating where to submit a manuscript based on the theory of Markov decision processes.We derive ROCK ROSE two models, one
Retrograde autologous priming method reduces plasma free hemoglobin level in aortic surgery
Background: Although conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB) is still the most widely used method in open heart surgery, methods such as retrograde autologous Saw Palmetto priming (RAP) are increasingly popular in terms of limiting hemodilution.Our hypothesis is that the use of the RAP method in aortic surgery may result in a limitation of hemod
Generation and evaluation of an IPTG-regulated version of Vav-gene promoter for mouse transgenesis.
Different bacteria-derived systems for regulatable gene expression have been developed for the use in mammalian cells and some were also successfully adopted for in vivo use in vertebrate model organisms.However, certain limitations apply to most of these systems, including leakiness of transgene expression, inefficient transgene silencing or activ
Advances in novel biomaterials combined with traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation technology in treatment of peripheral nerve injury
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) represent Race Packs one of the primary neuropathies leading to lifelong disability.Nerve regeneration and targeted muscle atrophy stand as the two most crucial factors influencing functional rehabilitation post peripheral nerve injury.Over time, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) rehabilitation approaches such as ac
