In Vitro Calcification Evaluation of Polycarbonate Urethane—Impact of Production Processes

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
The study shows that hot pressing induces chemical changes in PCU, promoting calcification, while solution‐cast patches remain unaffected. ABSTRACT Background Heart valve diseases remain a leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Polycarbonate urethane (PCU) is a promising material for heart valve prostheses due to its biocompatibility and low

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.

PATIENT’S TOLERANCE OF PHYSICAL EFFORT AFTER MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT IN DURABLE POST-OPERATIVE PERIODS [PDF]

open access: yesСаратовский научно-медицинский журнал, 2008
It is reasonable for the replacement findings of the mitral valve in case of durable post-operative periods, to evaluate patient’s tolerance of physical effort, which results, firstofall, in the condition of the cardio-vascular system.

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.
