Abstract Ocular allergies are becoming more prevalent as more airborne pollutants, irritants and microbes pervade our environment. Inflammatory and allergic mediators released by dendritic and mast cells within the conjunctiva cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC), a prevalent ocular surface disorder that affects >40% of the world's human population on a ...

Coronary angiography of the ex‐situ beating donor heart in a portable organ care system
Abstract Objectives To determine safety and feasibility of ex‐situ coronary angiography. Background To cater for the perpetually growing demand for heart donors, interest in donation following circulatory death (DCD) has been rekindled. Further pursuit of donor pool expansion has led to eligibility extension to “marginal” donors who are at higher risk ...

Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital abnormality. Most coronary artery bypass grafting surgeries in patients with dextrocardia were performed with anastomosis, using the right internal thoracic artery to revascularize the left ...

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery [PDF]
Each year 300,000 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations are performed in the United States, 25% of them in women. Over the past 30 years the patient population undergoing surgery has dramatically changed. In the early 1970s only a few patients (men and women) over the age of 70 years and/or with an ejection fraction less than 50% were felt ...

Surgery for Aneurysmal Coronary Artery Fistulas to the Coronary Sinus in Adults
Surgical treatment of aneurysmal distal congenital coronary artery fistulas depends on size and anatomy. From 2008 to 2021, we applied a new surgical technique in 7 adult patients: proximal and distal fistula closure, opening of aneurysmal artery, and ...

Data-driven reduced order modelling for patient-specific hemodynamics of coronary artery bypass grafts with physical and geometrical parameters [PDF]
In this work the development of a machine learning-based Reduced Order Model (ROM) for the investigation of hemodynamics in a patient-specific configuration of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is proposed. The computational domain is referred to left branches of coronary arteries when a stenosis of the Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) occurs.

Coronary artery bypass surgery morbidity
A retrospective analysis was undertaken of 365 consecutive patients, 75 women and 290 men with a mean age of 59.9 +/- 9.7 years, who had coronary artery bypass surgery during 1981. Complications classified as major were: mediastinal hemorrhage, pericardial tamponade, wound dehiscence, sternal osteomyelitis, myocardial infarction, bacterial endocarditis,
