The Impact of Obesity on Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
14 100 LVAD patients across 21 studies were analyzed. Findings indicated that obese LVAD recipients had lower short‐term mortality and higher risk of infection, thrombosis and right heart failure. There was no difference in long‐term survival between obese and non‐obese patients.

Casimir-Polder shifts on quantum levitation states

open access: yes, 2017
An ultracold atom above a horizontal mirror experiences quantum reflection from the attractive Casimir-Polder interaction, which holds it against gravity and leads to quantum levitation states.

Driveline Infections Among Patients Supported With Left Ventricular Assist Devices: A Single Center Sixteen‐Year Longitudinal Profile

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Our study of 1026 LVAD implants revealed HeartWare had lower driveline infection rates than other LVAD types. In addition, severe diabetes was associated with higher risk, while older age and coronary artery disease were linked to a lower risk of driveline infections.

Photophoresis – a Forgotten Force ??

open access: yesKONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014
In general a force will act on a particle illuminated by light or other radiation and absorbing part of the flux, and as a consequence a motion will result.

Dependence of Levitation Force on Frequency of an Oscillating Magnetic Levitation Field in a Bulk YBCO Superconductor

open access: yes, 2012
The dependence of the magnetic field strength required for levitation of a melt textured, single domain YBCO superconductor disc on the frequency of the current generating the levitating magnetic field has been investigated.

Hemocompatibility and Long‐Term Outcomes in HeartWare Versus HeartMate II Versus HeartMate 3: Multicenter Real‐World Cohort

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Multicenter real‐world cohort (n = 327) comparing LVADs: HeartMate 3 (HM3), HeartMate II (HMII), and HeartWare (HVAD). HM3 showed superior long‐term survival versus legacy devices, driven by fewer hemocompatibility‐related adverse events, especially pump thrombosis and ischemic stroke, while major bleeding was similar across devices.

Does Gastrointestinal Bleeding Increase the Risk of Thromboembolic Events in Patients Supported With CF‐LVADs?

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal bleeding significantly increases thromboembolic risk. Higher risk was also seen in patients aged ≥ 50 years, Black patients, and those with older CF‐LVAD models. ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common complication in continuous‐flow left ventricular assist device (CF‐LVAD) patients. Managing gastrointestinal bleeding

To the non-local theory of levitation

open access: yesТонкие химические технологии, 2015
In this paper we consider the levitation phenomenon using the generalized Bolzmann kinetics theory which can represent the non-local physics of levitation.

Single mode levitation and translation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
A single frequency resonance mode is applied by a transducer to acoustically levitate an object within a chamber. This process allows smooth movement of the object and suppression of unwanted levitation modes that would urge the object to a different ...
