Correlation Between LPS and LTA Levels With Clinical Features in Secondary Endodontic Infections

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to quantify LPS and LTA levels in root canals requiring endodontic retreatment due to secondary or persistent infection and evaluate the relationship between Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative virulence factors and clinical symptoms and signs.

Efficacy and safety of laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh for pelvic organ prolapse: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) with mesh provides effective apical and anterior vaginal support for pelvic organ prolapse, with anatomical success rates exceeding 90% and a low complication profile. This meta‐analysis reinforces LLS as a reliable surgical option, though longer follow‐up is needed to confirm its long‐term efficacy.

Perioperative Mechanical Circulatory Support for Cardiac Assistance in Thoracic Surgery: A Scoping Review

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
High‐risk cardiac patients may benefit from timely temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) implantation to provide perioperative hemodynamic stabilization and circulatory support, thus enabling them to undergo life‐saving thoracic surgery. CPB: cardiopulmonary bypass; IABP: intra‐aortic balloon pump; tMCS: temporary mechanical circulatory ...

Impact of Frailty in Patients With Continuous‐Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Therapy in End‐Stage Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Frailty significantly impacts clinical outcomes in LVAD recipients. This systematic review and meta‐analysis reveal that frail patients experience higher long‐term mortality but comparable short‐term mortality, hospital stay, and complication rates to non‐frail patients.

Regenerative Response 35 Days After Esophageal Replacement in a Porcine Model; Technical Difficulties and Attempts to Achieve Optimal Tissue Remodeling

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In previous articles, a porcine model for bridging circumferential defects in the intrathoracic esophagus was developed. The aims of this present study were to evaluate the continued healing response after 35 days, avoid stent migration of the esophageal stent, and to investigate whether it would be beneficial to add new ...

Clinical Results for Cardiovascular Xenografts Treated With Novel Anticalcification Protocols

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the safety, efficacy, and clinical performance of the tissue‐engineered Periborn bovine pericardial scaffold treated with our novel anticalcification protocols for surgical repair of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. The overall probability of freedom from Periborn‐related reoperation was 95.4% ± 3.2% at 9 years.

Influence of Preoperative Anatomical Characteristics on the Direction of Inflow Cannula in HeartMate 3

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The IC direction in HM3 was influenced by the mitral valve height from the LV apex, distance between the LV apex and chest wall, and thoracic depth from the LV apex. Moreover, the IC direction in HM3 had little influence on the flow, PAWP and the survival rate of patients.

The Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: A Systematic Review

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This systematic review explores the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in left ventricular assist device implantation, highlighting their superior accuracy in predicting mortality, adverse events, myocardial recovery, thrombosis risk, and right ventricular failure. Despite promising outcomes, challenges like data heterogeneity,

Dorsal Genital Nerve Stimulation as an Adjunctive Therapy to Control Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity After Spinal Cord Injury

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience bladder overactivity, which can cause incontinence. Dorsal genital nerve stimulation (DGNS) can suppress overactivity, providing a longer duration to reach a toilet. People with SCI trialed home‐based DGNS for 8 weeks. DGNS was effective in the laboratory, and participants found home‐based DGNS acceptable.

Repetitive Grasping After Stroke Assisted by Functional Electrical Stimulation

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
To understand whether FES can be useful in assisting functional grasping after stroke, the following requirements were investigated: (i) producing sufficient force, (ii) sustaining this force for an adequate duration, (iii) successfully releasing the object, and (iv) monitoring the onset of muscle fatigue during repetitive grasping.
