Constrictive Pericarditis: A Medical or Surgical Disease?
Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2019 Constrictive pericarditis is a disease of the pericardium resulting from chronic inflammation and/or scar responsible for a clinical feature of left and right ventricular failure.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Cardiovascular Adverse Events
ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract In the last years, we assisted to a tremendous increase in therapeutic options for the management of cancers, with immunotherapy at the forefront of this innovation. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been developed to enhance the activity of the immune system against cancer cells (1) and the number of approvals for ICIs has rapidly ...

Constriction for sets of probabilities [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Given a set of probability measures $\mathcal{P}$ representing an agent's knowledge on the elements of a sigma-algebra $\mathcal{F}$, we can compute upper and lower bounds for the probability of any event $A\in\mathcal{F}$ of interest. A procedure generating a new assessment of beliefs is said to constrict $A$ if the bounds on the probability of $A ...

Transport through constricted quantum Hall edge systems: beyond the quantum point contact [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 77, 035331 (2008), 2007 Motivated by surprises in recent experimental findings, we study transport in a model of a quantum Hall edge system with a gate-voltage controlled constriction. A finite backscattered current at finite edge-bias is explained from a Landauer-Buttiker analysis as arising from the splitting of edge current caused by the difference in the filling fractions

A mechanical model reveals that non-axisymmetric buckling lowers the energy barrier associated with membrane neck constriction [PDF]
, 2019 Membrane neck formation is essential for scission, which, as recent experiments on tubules have demonstrated, can be location dependent. The diversity of biological machinery that can constrict a neck such as dynamin, actin, ESCRTs and BAR proteins, and the range of forces and deflection over which they operate, suggest that the constriction process is

Lattice Expansion in Seamless Bi layer Graphene Constrictions at High Bias [PDF]
Nano Lett. 2012, 12, 4455, 2012 Our understanding of sp2 carbon nanostructures is still emerging and is important for the development of high performance all carbon devices. For example, in terms of the structural behavior of graphene or bi-layer graphene at high bias, little to nothing is known. To this end we investigated bi-layer graphene constrictions with closed edges (seamless)

A clinical case of tuberculosis with transient constrictive pericarditis and perimyocarditis
Echo Research and Practice, 2019 Tuberculous pericarditis is a rare diagnosis seen among as few as 1% of tuberculosis (TB) patients in developed countries. We present a case of a 60-year-old male suffering from a transient constrictive pericarditis and subclinical involvement of the ...

Differences in the effects of turns and constrictions on the resistive response in current-biased superconducting wire after single photon absorption [PDF]
Supercond. Sci. Technol. 26 (2013) 075008, 2013 We study how turns and constrictions affect the resistive response of the superconducting wire after instant in time and local in space heating, which models the absorption of the single photon by the wire. We find that the presence of constriction favors detection of photons of various energies but the presence of turn increases only ability to detect
