A computational study of aortic reconstruction in single ventricle patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) are born with an underdeveloped left heart. They typically receive a sequence of surgeries that result in a single ventricle physiology called the Fontan circulation. While these patients usually survive into early adulthood, they are at risk for medical complications, partially due to their lower ...

Development of a Disease Model for Predicting Postoperative Delirium Using Combined Blood Biomarkers
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative delirium, a common neurocognitive complication after surgery and anesthesia, requires early detection for potential intervention. Herein, we constructed a multidimensional postoperative delirium risk‐prediction model incorporating multiple demographic parameters and blood biomarkers to enhance prediction accuracy ...

Exosomes and their roles in the chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer
Cancer Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 4979-4988, December 2022., 2022 Despite the development of multiple promising chemotherapeutic agents as recommended first‐line treatment for PC, the therapeutic efficacy is largely limited by unwanted drug resistance.Exploring the relation between exosomes and chemoresistance may be conducive to understanding molecular mechanisms and taking effective measures to reduce the ...

Modelling of impaired cerebral blood flow due to gaseous emboli [PDF]
, 2012 Bubbles introduced to the arterial circulation during invasive medical procedures can have devastating consequences for brain function but their effects are currently difficult to quantify. Here we present a Monte-Carlo simulation investigating the impact of gas bubbles on cerebral blood flow.

Learned Local Attention Maps for Synthesising Vessel Segmentations [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is an imaging modality for visualising blood vessels. It is useful for several diagnostic applications and for assessing the risk of adverse events such as haemorrhagic stroke (resulting from the rupture of aneurysms in blood vessels).

Towards a Computed Collateral Circulation Score in Ischemic Stroke [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Stroke is the second leading cause of disability worldwide. In order to minimize disability, the goal of stroke treatment is to preserve tissue in the area where blood supply is decreased but sufficient to stave off cell death. Thrombectomy has been shown to offer fast and efficient reperfusion with high recanalization rates.

Non‐Surgical, In‐Stent Membrane Bioelectronics for Long‐Term Intracranial Pressure Monitoring
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This image shows a sequence of long‐term intracranial pressure monitoring using non‐surgical, in‐stent membrane bioelectronics. Abstract Traditional intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring methods, using intraventricular catheters, face significant limitations, including high invasiveness, discrete data, calibration complexities, and drift issues, which
