Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor presenting as mitral stenosis: case report and literature review

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Primary cardiac neurogenic tumors are rare, accounting for 5%-10% of all malignant soft tissue tumors. Among these, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are particularly uncommon as primary cardiac tumors.

Hyperlactatemia and Cardiac Surgery

open access: yesThe Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology, 2017
The normal blood lactate level is 0–2 mmol/L, and a value above 3–5 mmol/L is variably used to define hyperlactatemia. In cardiac surgical patients, hyperlactatemia can arise from both hypoxic and non-hypoxic mechanisms. The major non-hypoxic mechanism is likely stress-induced accelerated aerobic metabolism, in which elevated lactate results from a ...

Assessment of functional capacity before major non-cardiac surgery: an international, prospective cohort study.

open access: yesThe Lancet, 2018
BACKGROUND Functional capacity is an important component of risk assessment for major surgery. Doctors' clinical subjective assessment of patients' functional capacity has uncertain accuracy.

A Geometrically Transient Platform for Bioelectronic Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive bioelectronic implants often compromise performance for smaller sizes. To resolve this optimization dilemma, a wireless bioelectronic implant with a transient geometry is introduced (MiFi). The origami‐inspired device miniaturizes up to sixfold for syringe insertion and autonomously unfolds post‐implantation.

Input Constraints and the Efficiency of Entry: Lessons from Cardiac Surgery [PDF]

open access: yes
Prior studies suggest that, with elastically supplied inputs, free entry may lead to an inefficiently high number of firms in equilibrium. Under input scarcity, however, the welfare loss from free entry is reduced. Further, free entry may increase use of

René Géronimo Favaloro : pioneer of Cardiac Surgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Dr. René G. Favaloro moved to the Cleveland Clinic in 1962 and proceeded to reshape the face of cardiac surgery as we knew it. Together with his colleagues at the Cleveland Clinic, Drs.

From Fiber Bundles to Architected Membranes: Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Architectures for Biohybrid Artificial Lungs

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Additively manufactured triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) membranes offer an architecture‐driven alternative to hollow fiber bundles in artificial lungs. Multiphysics simulations and endothelialized prototypes show that the 3D‐printable membrane architecture improves gas exchange, blood flow distribution, and hemocompatibility, enabling ...

Comparison of short- and long-term outcomes between isolated and concomitant tricuspid valve surgery

open access: yesThe Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Background Accurate reflections of long-term outcomes of isolated tricuspid valve surgery are underreported in the literature. Most published cohort studies consisted of patients receiving tricuspid valve surgery concomitant with left-sided procedures ...
