Occupational Therapy’s Role with Ventricular Assist Devices and the Promotion of Travel Protocols [PDF]

, 2020
An option for individuals diagnosed with end-stage heart failure is to receive a ventricular assist device (VAD). In 2006, Shepherd and Wilding produced an article regarding occupational therapy’s role during the VAD process as they anticipated a growing

Target Flow-Pressure Operating Range for Designing a Failing Fontan Cavopulmonary Support Device [PDF]

, 2019
Fontan operation as the current standard of care for the palliation of single ventricle defects results in significant late complications. Using a mechanical circulatory device for the right circulation to serve the function of the missing subpulmonary ventricle could potentially stabilize the failing Fontan circulation.

Establishment of a nonshockable rhythm cardiac arrest model caused by asphyxia

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Objective Cardiac arrest (CA) is caused by a nonshockable rhythm with a low success rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and a poor prognosis. This study intended to establish a nonshockable rhythm CA model caused by asphyxia.

Ultrasound assisted siRNA delivery using PEG-siPlex loaded microbubbles [PDF]

, 2008
Short interfering RNA (siRNA) attracts much attention for the treatment of various diseases. However, its delivery, especially via systemic routes, remains a challenge. Indeed, naked siRNAs are rapidly degraded, while complexed siRNAs massively aggregate
