Fate of pulmonary arteries following Norwood Procedure [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2006
This study evaluated the requirement for surgical reoperation and catheter-based reintervention to central pulmonary arteries (CPAs) following Norwood Procedure (NP). We sought to identify the influence of various surgical techniques employed during NP on subsequent interventions.Between 1993 and 2004, 226 patients underwent Stage II following NP ...

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Factors affecting the outcomes after bidirectional Glenn shunt: two decades of experience from a tertiary referral center

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2023
Background Despite the improved management of patients with a single ventricle, the long-term outcomes are not optimal. We reported the outcomes of the bidirectional Glenn procedure (BDG) and factors affecting the length of hospital stay, operative ...

Freedom from Neoaortic Insufficiency: A Comparison of Classic Norwood and Norwood?Sano Procedures

Congenital Heart Disease, 2006
To investigate the incidence of neoaortic insufficiency in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome treated with the Norwood-Sano palliation and to compare it with that occurring after the classic Norwood procedure.This was a retrospective review of all echocardiograms of patients diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (concomitant ...

Microsphere‐Templated Conductive Syntactic Foams for Recyclable and Additively Manufactured Soft Electronics

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a microsphere‐templated strategy to fabricate reprocessable PEDOT:PSS syntactic foams with tunable porosity, stable conductivity, and 3D printability. In situ PEDOT:PSS coatings create a conductive network that maintains electrical performance at high void fractions.

Towards Real‐Time Monitoring of Soft Robotic Systems in Endoscopic Application With Ultra‐Flexible Organic Transistor‐Based Strain Sensors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The integration of ultra‐flexible, all‐organic, field‐effect transistor‐based strain sensors to soft structures is reported for the development of sensorized soft robots. The envisaged application is the development of next‐generation, controllable, and observable soft robotic catheters for endoscopic applications, such as drug delivery. Mechanical and

U.S. Consumers Sometimes Prefer Seemingly Redundant Labels

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More food products are carrying seemingly redundant labels, which are marketing claims or certifications that reiterate product attributes already conveyed. In this paper, we aim to answer two questions on redundant labels. First, do consumers view redundant labels as deceptive or informative? Second, how do redundant labels affect product and

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...
