Cavopulmonary assist for the failing Fontan circulation: impact of ventricular function on mechanical support strategy [PDF]

, 2014
Mechanical circulatory support--either ventricular assist device (VAD, left-sided systemic support) or cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD, right-sided support)--has been suggested as treatment for Fontan failure.

Left ventricular assist device.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2002
To the Editor: The value of angiotensin-converting– enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, and spironolactone has been well established by the results of numerous clinical trials. About 70 percent of the patients described by Rose et al. were treated with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II–receptor antagonists; 35 to 40 percent received spironolactone ...

Lessons Learned From a Delayed‐Start Trial of Modafinil for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) is debilitating and has limited treatments. Modafinil modulates beta/gamma band activity in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), like PPN deep brain stimulation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that Modafinil would improve FOG in PwPD.

Calcium Imparts Advanced Functionalities to Silk Hydrogels for Biofabrication and Biomedical Innovation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The addition of calcium ions to silk fibroin enhances the hydrogel properties and, when combined with visible light crosslinking, enables compatibility with advanced light‐based fabrication techniques. Calcium ions extend the shelf‐life of silk and facilitate the fabrication of multizonal, multilayered constructs for advanced stimuli‐responsive ...

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...
