Myocardial hypothermia increases autophagic flux, mitochondrial mass and myocardial function after ischemia-reperfusion injury. [PDF]

, 2019
Animal studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of therapeutic hypothermia on myocardial function, yet exact mechanisms remain unclear. Impaired autophagy leads to heart failure and mitophagy is important for mitigating ischemia/reperfusion injury ...

Endoscopic Findings in Ventriculitis and Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Therapeutic Intraventricular Irrigation

Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 1978
Endoscopic intraventricular findings using an encephaloscope in 30 cases of ventriculitis and 60 cases of intraventricular hemorrhage were reviewed. In cases of ventriculitis, encephaloscopic findings were classified into 4 stages, early (initial) stage, advanced stage, late (end) stage and recovery stage.

Parallel Electrical Integration of Photo Bio Electrochemical Systems (photo‐BESs): Performance Gains and Load Dependency

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Suction-irrigation drainage: an underestimated therapeutic option for surgical treatment of deep sternal wound infections† [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2013
Deep sternal wound infections are significant and severe complications following cardiac surgery and substantially influence perioperative morbidity and mortality. We present the experience of our department using two different surgical treatments over a three-year period.Between January 2009 and December 2011, a total of 3274 cardiac procedures with ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...
