Infection in prosthetic material [PDF]

, 2015
Surgical site infection (SSI) occurs when a wound created as part of a surgical procedure becomes infected. SSI is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and occurs in approximately 5% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure. SSI may

A mechanikus keringéstámogatás életet ment - a műszívprogram első három évének tapasztalata a Semmelweis Egyetemen [PDF]

, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Since the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the first heart transplantation in Hungary in 2012 the emerging need for modern heart failure management via mechanical circulatory support has evolved. In May 2012 the opening of a new heart

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...

Biologically Active Implants Prevent Mortality in a Mouse Sepsis Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A modular, triple‐action titanium implant is developed to prevent implant‐associated infections by repelling bacteria, killing pathogens, and enhancing tissue integration. Coatings with phage cocktails targeting P. aeruginosa and S. aureus show significant bacterial reduction and improved survival in a mouse sepsis model.

Left Ventricular Assist Devices – Past, Present, and Future: A Narrative Review

Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences
Advanced heart failure (AHF) is a major problem with an aging population and profound unmet needs. While heart transplant offers the most definitive solution, it is largely unavailable for most and mandates a long waiting period.

Biochemical and Functional Correlates of Myocardium‐Like Transformed Skeletal Muscle as a Power Source for Cardiac Assist Devices

Journal of cardiac surgery, 1989
Skeletal muscles, such as the latissimus dorsi muscle, can be transformed to gain considerable fatigue resistance to be suitable either for cardiomyoplasty, or to power a cardiac assist device.

The impact of peripheral arterial disease on patients with mechanical circulatory support. [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are indicated as bridging or destination therapy for patients with advanced (Stage D) heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Due to the clustering of the mutual risk factors, HFrEF patients

Improving Postdischarge Outcomes in Acute Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2018
The global burden that acute heart failure (AHF) carries has remained unchanged over the past several decades (1). European registries (2–5) showed that 1-year outcome rates remain unacceptably high (Table 1) and confirm that hospitalization for AHF ...
