Lower extremity lymphatic flow is associated with diuretic response in acute heart failure

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Lower extremity lymphatic flow and diuretic response in acute heart failure (AHF). IV, intravenous. (Created in BioRender) Abstract AimsThe dysfunctional lymphatic system appears to play an important role in the development and progression of congestion in heart failure. We hypothesized that in acute heart failure (AHF), diuretic efficacy is associated

Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
The principles of Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics are disclosed leading to a new way to interpret whole-Earth dynamics. Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics incorporates elements of and unifies the two seemingly divergent dominant theories of continential displacement, plate tectonics theory and Earth expansion theory. Whole-Earth decompression is the

Spinal cystic echinococcosis - a systematic analysis and review of the literature : part 2. treatment, follow-up and outcome [PDF]

, 2013
Bone involvement in human cystic echinococcosis (CE) is rare, but affects the spine in approximately 50% of cases. Despite significant advances in diagnostic imaging techniques, surgical treatment and introduction of pharmacological therapy, spinal ...

Surgical decompression improves recovery from neurological deficit and may provide a survival benefit in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma-associated spinal cord compression: a case-series study

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2013
BackgroundMalignancy-associated spinal cord compression is generally treated by surgical decompression, radiotherapy or a combination of both. Since diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is highly sensitive to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the role

Effect of stereo‐EEG versus subdural EEG on functional and seizure outcome in pediatric and adult epilepsy surgery: A 21‐year single‐center experience

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective (1) To compare use, benefits, and complications of stereo‐EEG (SEEG) and subdural EEG (SD) in presurgical epilepsy candidates. (2) To evaluate the effectiveness of both methods in delineation of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) and guiding tailored resective surgery. Methods We included patients with SEEG or SD evaluations in children and

Computer assisted planning and orbital surgery: patient-related prediction of osteotomy size in proptosis reduction [PDF]

Clinical Biomechanics 20 (9) (2005) 900-905, 2006
BACKGROUND: Proptosis is characterized by a protrusion of the eyeball due to an increase of the orbital tissue volume. To recover a normal eyeball positioning, the most frequent surgical technique consists in the osteotomy of orbital walls combined with the manual loading on the eyeball.

Power grip, pinch grip, manual muscle testing or thenar atrophy - which should be assessed as a motor outcome after carpal tunnel decompression? A systematic review [PDF]

, 2007
Background Objective assessment of motor function is frequently used to evaluate outcome after surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However a range of outcome measures are used and there appears to be no consensus on which measure of motor

A Novel Gas Extraction Technique in Coal Seams Utilizing Hydraulic Fracturing‐Dissolution and Analysis of Non‐Uniform Propagation of Fracture

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracting gas from low‐permeability coal seams is essential for mine safety and efficiency. To address this challenge, a novel technique combining hydraulic fracturing and dissolution was proposed. The feasibility of this method was verified through simulations based on the distinct element method.
