The pathology of fresh and cryopreserved homograft heart valves: An analysis of forty explanted homograft valves [PDF]
Objective: Tissue degeneration reduces the durability of aortic and pulmonary homograft heart valves. Homograft valves can evoke cellular and humoral immune responses that might be detrimental to the valve tissue.

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

An Efficient Immersed Boundary Method for Solving the Unsteady Flow through Actual Geometries of Reed Valves [PDF]
In refrigeration compressors, the suction and discharge valves are responsible for the retention of the refrigerant from the suction chamber to the cylinder and passage from the cylinder to the discharge chamber.

Cylindrical prosthetic valves for the tricuspid position: prospects and limitations
Tricuspid valve (TV) replacement for primary regurgitation is a relatively rare procedure. Bioprosthetic valves are generally preferred because they do not require anticoagulant therapy and tend to degenerate more slowly in the tricuspid position than in

Prosthetic heart valves : selection of the optimal prosthesis and long-term management
The introduction of valve replacement surgery in the early 1960s has dramatically improved the outcome of patients with valvular heart disease. Approximately 90 000 valve substitutes are now implanted in the United States and 280 000 worldwide each year;

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...
