In Vitro Hemocompatibility of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart in Continuous and Pulsatile Flow

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
BiVACOR's total artificial heart generates remarkably similar hemocompatibility when operated with a pulse or during continuous flow. Under both conditions, hemolysis and von Willebrand Factor multimers were similar to a commercial reference device after 6 h in vitro evaluation.

Cytochrome P450 1A1 influences obesity‐induced pulmonary hypertension

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The contribution of obesity to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Adipose tissue synthesises estrogens via cytochrome P450 (CYP) 19A1 (aromatase), whereas circulating estrogens are metabolised in the lung by CYP1A1.

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Research on Intelligent Defrost Control Based on Parallel Plate Capacitor Principle

Zhileng xuebao
Addressing the issue of “erroneous defrosting” in the defrosting condition of the evaporator, a novel intelligent defrosting control strategy based on the principle of parallel-plate capacitor is proposed, a mathematical model of parallel-plate capacitor

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Injecting nerves with radiological contrast as a novel method of studying the peripheral nervous system

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We present a method of injecting peripheral nerves with radiopaque contrast and subsequent CT scanning that produces excellent 3D models of the nerves, leaving the specimens intact and ready for further analysis (e.g., for micro‐CT or histology). Abstract The peripheral nervous system has been the subject of various studies on topics ranging from the ...

The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...

Perinatal clinical management of a rare ABh variant blood group

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The H antigen, precursor of the A and B blood groups, is a high‐prevalence antigen. Very few H antigen‐negative (H−) blood donors are available in the United Kingdom. Case Presentation We present the case of a second pregnancy in a 28‐year‐old woman with the very rare ABh phenotype, and the presence of anti‐H, anti‐A and anti‐B ...

Evaluation of the rate of residual polystomatic sublingual acinar tissue without tunneling dorsal to the digastricus using a ventral or ventrolateral approach in cats

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the rate of residual polystomatic sublingual acinar tissue if tunneling dorsal to the digastricus muscle and dissection to the sublingual caruncle is not performed during mandibular‐sublingual sialadenectomy in cats. Study design Cadaveric study. Sample population A total of 10 feline cadavers.

Defrosting Evolution Behavior and Drainage Characteristic on Superhydrophobic Surface

Zhileng xuebao, 2020
After traditional thermal defrosting, a great number of water droplets still retain on the surface, which can become the base of secondary frosting and accelerate secondary frosting. Therefore, duly removing retained droplets after defrosting is of great
