Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 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 ...

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.

Degenerative processes in bioprosthetic mitral valves in juvenile pigs
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2011 Background Glutaraldehyde-treated bioprosthetic heart valves are commonly used for replacement of diseased heart valves. However, calcification and wear limit their durability, and the development of new and improved bioprosthetic valve designs is needed

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Sudden cardiac death and valvular pathology
Forensic Sciences Research, 2019 Sudden death due to valvular heart disease is reported to range from 1% to 5% in native valves and around 0.2%–0.9%/year in prosthesis. The nature of the diseases is varied, from heritable, congenital to acquired.

Imaging of Bioprosthetic Valve Dysfunction after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Diagnostics, 2023 Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard of care in elderly high-risk patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Recently, TAVI has been increasingly performed in younger-, intermediate- and lower-risk populations ...
