Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Cardiovascular Adverse Events

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract In the last years, we assisted to a tremendous increase in therapeutic options for the management of cancers, with immunotherapy at the forefront of this innovation. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been developed to enhance the activity of the immune system against cancer cells (1) and the number of approvals for ICIs has rapidly ...

A case report of constrictive pericarditis: a forgotten cause of refractory ascites

Radiology Case Reports, 2020
Constrictive pericarditis is well known but rare and commonly forgotten cause of ascites. Early diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis is difficult due to absence of typical cardiopulmonary signs and multiple vague symptoms and its insidious course.

Constriction for sets of probabilities [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Given a set of probability measures $\mathcal{P}$ representing an agent's knowledge on the elements of a sigma-algebra $\mathcal{F}$, we can compute upper and lower bounds for the probability of any event $A\in\mathcal{F}$ of interest. A procedure generating a new assessment of beliefs is said to constrict $A$ if the bounds on the probability of $A ...

Transport through constricted quantum Hall edge systems: beyond the quantum point contact [PDF]

Phys. Rev. B 77, 035331 (2008), 2007
Motivated by surprises in recent experimental findings, we study transport in a model of a quantum Hall edge system with a gate-voltage controlled constriction. A finite backscattered current at finite edge-bias is explained from a Landauer-Buttiker analysis as arising from the splitting of edge current caused by the difference in the filling fractions

Long-term results of radical pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis in Korean population

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2019
BackgroundThe extent of pericardiectomy is an important issue in constrictive pericarditis but its impact on long-term outcomes has been rarely reported.

A case report of combined radical pericardiectomy and beating heart coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with tubercular chronic constrictive pericarditis with coronary artery disease

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2017
We here report a successful midterm outcome following combined off-pump radical pericardiectomy and coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in a 65-year-old male patient who was suffering from chronic constrictive calcified tubercular pericarditis with ...

A mechanical model reveals that non-axisymmetric buckling lowers the energy barrier associated with membrane neck constriction [PDF]

, 2019
Membrane neck formation is essential for scission, which, as recent experiments on tubules have demonstrated, can be location dependent. The diversity of biological machinery that can constrict a neck such as dynamin, actin, ESCRTs and BAR proteins, and the range of forces and deflection over which they operate, suggest that the constriction process is

Lattice Expansion in Seamless Bi layer Graphene Constrictions at High Bias [PDF]

Nano Lett. 2012, 12, 4455, 2012
Our understanding of sp2 carbon nanostructures is still emerging and is important for the development of high performance all carbon devices. For example, in terms of the structural behavior of graphene or bi-layer graphene at high bias, little to nothing is known. To this end we investigated bi-layer graphene constrictions with closed edges (seamless)
