Introduction. We present the clinical observation of a 72-year-old female patient with high surgical risk and structural degeneration of a bioprosthetic aortic valve (AV) cusps in the form of stenosis, accompanied by severe dysfunction.

Intervertebral disc degeneration in dogs [PDF]
Back pain is common in both dogs and humans, and is often associated with intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. The IVDs are essential structures of the spine and degeneration can ultimately result in diseases such as IVD herniation or spinal ...

Structural basis for complement factor H-linked age-related macular degeneration [PDF]
Nearly 50 million people worldwide suffer from age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which causes severe loss of central vision. A single-nucleotide polymorphism in the gene for the complement regulator factor H (FH), which causes a Tyr-to-His ...

Thrombus-Induced Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction Demonstrating Hypo-Attenuated Leaflet Thickening: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hypo‐attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) is an important and potentially underrecognized cause of late bioprosthetic valve dysfunction after surgical AVR. Multimodal imaging, including echocardiography and electrocardiogram‐gated computed tomography, is essential for diagnosis, and timely surgical or medical intervention can effectively ...

The Role of Multimodality Imaging in Left-Sided Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction
Prosthetic valve (PV) dysfunction (PVD) is a complication of mechanical or biological PV. Etiologic mechanisms associated with PVD include fibrotic pannus ingrowth, thrombosis, structural valve degeneration, and endocarditis resulting in different grades

Large‐scale UK Biobank analyses identify clinical and proteomic signatures for early prediction of valvular heart disease and its subtypes. Proteins add predictive value for VHD, AVS, and MVR, with outcome‐specific compact panels showing translational potential. Multi‐layer evidence highlights matrix remodeling, protease regulation, immune inflammation,

Geometric constraint reconfiguration enables a rigid–foldable kirigami‐inspired mechanism to switch between twisting, directional translation, and self‐locking states. By encoding multifunctionality directly into its architecture, the mechanism achieves multimodal motion and passive locking without reassembly, providing a compact platform for adaptive ...
