Importance of the right ventricle in valvular heart disease [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 1996 The importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of clinical symptoms, exercise capacity, peri-operative survival and postoperative outcome has been underestimated for a long time. Right ventricular ejection fraction has been used as a measure of right ventricular function but has been found to be dependent on loading conditions, ventricular ...

A piece of hammer in the right ventricle of the heart
BMJ Case Reports, 2009 A 29-year-old male was referred to the surgery department with face injury after being hit with a small hammer fragment at work. Upon admission, he was slightly bleeding from the lacerated wound (size of 1×1 cm) in the maxillofacial region. Radiograph of the skull detected a small dense fragment in the region of injury (fig 1) and the patient was ...

Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...

A tissue-engineered scale model of the heart ventricle [PDF]
Nature Biomedical Engineering, 2018 Laboratory studies of the heart use cell and tissue cultures to dissect heart function yet rely on animal models to measure pressure and volume dynamics. Here, we report tissue-engineered scale models of the human left ventricle, made of nanofibrous scaffolds that promote native-like anisotropic myocardial tissue genesis and chamber-level contractile ...
