Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Predicting cardiac index using the electrocardiogram in pulmonary hypertension patients
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a fatal disease where on-time treatment can change the prognosis. The selection of treatment is dictated by the severity of PH. The cardiac index (CI) is a robust indicator of PH severity.

Bedside Flow-Directed Balloon Catheterization in the Critically Ill Patient [PDF]
Prior to 1970, catheterization of the right heart and pulmonary artery required the use of fluoroscopic guidance and was only performed in specialized research units and/or the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The need to assess the hemodynamic status

NeoCast is a next‐generation, solvent‐free, non‐adhesive liquid embolic designed for indications where deep occlusion is desired (e.g., tumors and chronic subdural hematoma). This novel agent offers ideal embolic properties: injectability, controllability, excellent visibility, and biocompatibility.

SILS is a technically challenging procedure for novice surgeons. We evaluate the clinical outcomes of SILS for colorectal cancer performed by novice surgeons. SILS was safely performed by novice surgeons under the guidance of well‐experienced surgeons, and could provide satisfactory oncological outcomes. Abstract Background Single incision laparoscopic

Late development of double-chambered right ventricle after repair of a ventricular septal defect
Double-chambered right ventricle is a rare heart defect causing right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction. In this malformation, the right ventricle is divided into two chambers by a fibromuscular band.

Successful implantation of a permanent pacemaker through a persistent left superior vena cava by using a right subclavian approach [PDF]
Introduction. Persistent left superior vena cava, a rare congenital abnormality, can complicate placement of pacemaker leads through the subclavian vein. A left-sided approach is usually preferable in such cases. Case report.
