Enhanced flexural wave sensing by adaptive gradient-index metamaterials [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Increasing sensitivity and signal to noise ratios of conventional wave sensors is an interesting topic in structural health monitoring, medical imaging, aerospace and nuclear instrumentation. Here, we report the concept of a gradient piezoelectric self-sensing system by integrating shunting circuitry into conventional sensors.

Activity of an antimicrobial hydrocephalus shunt catheter against Propionibacterium acnes [PDF]

, 2010
Shunt infection is a major complication affecting approximately 10% of procedures. Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic skin bacterium, is increasingly recognized as a shunt pathogen, causing up to 14% of infections. Though susceptible to penicillin and

Mechanical shunt failure in hydrocephalus: a common but remediable complication with technical nuances

Egyptian Journal of Neurosurgery
Background A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a cerebral shunt that diverts excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).Obstruction in the normal outflow or decreased absorption of the fluid is the usual cause.

Life-Threatening Bleeding from Peristomal Varices after Cystoprostatectomy: Multimodal Approach in a Cirrhotic, Encephalopathic Patient with Severe Portal Hypertension

Case Reports in Urology, 2015
The bleeding of peristomal varices due to a portosystemic shunt is rare but potentially life-threatening in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension.

CSF inflammatory markers differ in gram-positive versus gram-negative shunt infections

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt placement is frequently complicated by bacterial infection. Shunt infection diagnosis relies on bacterial culture of CSF which can often produce false-negative results.

The Impact of Atrial Left-to-Right Shunt on Pulmonary Hypertension in Preterm Infants with Moderate or Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2015
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)-associated pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a well-known complication of prematurity; however, the additional impact of a left-to-right interatrial shunt on this condition remains poorly understood.
