Cirurgia valvar na infância: um novo aspecto de ação Valvular surgery in childhood: new trends
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 1992 De janeiro de 1978 a dezembro de 1991, 148 crianças (idade igual ou menor a 15 anos) foram operadas pela primeira vez, para correção de defeitos adquiridos (doença reumática) em uma das valvas cardíacas.

Heart Valve Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2005 Tissue-engineered heart valves have been proposed by physicians and scientists alike to be the ultimate solution for treating valvular heart disease. Rather than replacing a diseased or defective native valve with a mechanical or animal tissue–derived artificial valve, a tissue-engineered valve would be a living organ, able to respond to growth and ...

Photochemical Fuel Carrier Molecules for Robotic Embodied Energy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We designed a novel fuel carrier photoresponsive molecule for on‐demand energy storage and release. Carrier molecules undergo bond scission under UV light to release chemical fuel and locally generate propulsive Marangoni flows. We demonstrate this photochemical embodied energy strategy in small‐scale robots and active matter systems, enabling ...

Humid‐Air Condensation Heat Transfer on Hierarchical Structured Superhydrophobic Graphite Composites
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Humid‐air condensation on graphite composites shows that making a surface superhydrophobic is not sufficient to enhance heat transfer. A hierarchical CuO/lauric‐acid coating yields spherical droplets but promotes Wenzel‐type pinning and adds effective thermal resistance under operation.

Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: Impact of Implantation on Biomaterials
, 2013 Prosthetic heart valves are commonly used in the treatment of valvular heart disease. Mechanical valves are more durable than the bioprosthetic valves; however, the need for long-term anticoagulant therapy renders them unsuitable for some patient groups.

From Copper Nanoparticles to Alumina Encapsulated Porous Layers With Enhanced Mechanical Stability
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study analyzes the synthesis‐structure relation of individual Cu nanoparticles and highly porous nanoparticle‐based Cu films using different sputtering‐based nanoparticle sources. The inherent mechanical instability of the films is tackled with Al2O3 encapsulation through atomic layer deposition, enabling 4‐fold increase in critical force in ...

Hybrid Magnetoactive Soft Elastomers: Material Development Toward Application in Diaphragm Pumps
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hybrid magnetoactive soft elastomeric membranes are developed by combining two different types of magnetic particles. The membranes exhibit distinct mechanical, magnetic and thermal properties owing to the unique characteristics of the two magnetic particles.

A chronological history of heart valve prostheses to offer perspectives of their limitations
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyProsthetic heart valves (PHV) have been studied for around 70 years. They are the best alternative to save the life of patients with cardiac valve diseases. However, current PHVs may still cause significant disadvantages to patients.
