Efficacy of Gastrostomy-Button for Weight Gain in Patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

, 2022
Purpose & Background: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a congenital heart defect (CHD) in which the left side of the heart is underdeveloped. HLHS makes up 2-3% of all CHD; 25-40% of neonatal cardiac death is due to untreated HLHS.

Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...

Impact Absorption Power of Polyolefin Fused Filament Fabrication 3D‐Printed Sports Mouthguards: In Vitro Study

Dental Traumatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 213-223, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background/Aim This study aims to evaluate and compare the impact absorption capacities of thermoformed ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) mouthguards and 3D‐printed polyolefin mouthguards used in sports dentistry applications. The objective is to determine whether 3D‐printed polyolefin mouthguards offer superior impact toughness compared to ...

Aortic arch reconstruction in Norwood procedure—size differences after hybrid or Norwood palliation [PDF]

Translational Pediatrics, 2017
Aortic arch reconstruction in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) presents a surgical challenge and is associated with a re-intervention rate of 18% (1). Different surgical techniques have been advocated to improve results, but these are dependent on the initial geometry and size of the native aorta and probably also on the flow ...

Biomechanical Analysis of 3D Printed and Thermoformed EVA Custom‐Made Mouthguard: Experimental and Finite Element Analyses

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objective 3D printed materials have been evaluated for fabricating mouthguards; however, little is known about their biomechanical performance in preventing dental trauma. This study aimed to compare two 3D printed polymers and three ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) sheets used for mouthguard fabrication regarding their mechanical ...

Effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity: Part I

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Repeated exposure to ozonated water caused cumulative oxidative changes in hair, altering structural integrity, thermal behaviour and mechanical properties. The findings reveal a distinct ozone‐induced damage profile that progresses beyond the cuticle, challenging claims of hair‐revitalizing benefits. Abstract Objective Ozone has recently been marketed
