The Optimization of Short-Term Hepatocyte Preservation Before Transplantation

Transplantation Direct, 2017
Background. No optimal methods for short-term hepatocyte preservation have been established. We have recently developed a prominent oxygen-permeable bag (Tohoku Device [TD]) for pancreatic islet culture and transplantation. In this study, we investigated

Speaker Anonymization with Distribution-Preserving X-Vector Generation for the VoicePrivacy Challenge 2020 [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In this paper, we present a Distribution-Preserving Voice Anonymization technique, as our submission to the VoicePrivacy Challenge 2020. We observe that the challenge baseline system generates fake X-vectors which are very similar to each other, significantly more so than those extracted from organic speakers. This difference arises from averaging many

Can adenine nucleotides predict primary nonfunction of the human liver homograft? [PDF]

, 1994
Sixty-eight primary liver grafts were analyzed to see whether adenine nucleotides (AN: ATP, ADP, and AMP) or purine catabolites (PC: adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine) of tissue or effluent can predict primary graft nonfunction.

Modelo experimental ex vivo com bloco pulmonar dividido Ex vivo experimental model: split lung block technique

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2011
Modelos de recondicionamento pulmonar ex vivo têm sido avaliados desde sua proposição. Quando são utilizados pulmões humanos descartados para transplante, a grande variabilidade entre os casos pode limitar o desenvolvimento de alguns estudos.
