VAD-MM/GBSA: A Variable Atomic Dielectric MM/GBSA Model for Improved Accuracy in Protein-Ligand Binding Free Energy Calculations

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, 2021
The molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area (MM/GBSA) has been widely used in end-point binding free energy prediction in structure-based drug design (SBDD).

Computational characterization of flow and blood damage potential of the new maglev CH-VAD pump versus the HVAD and HeartMate II pumps

International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2020
Left ventricular assist devices are routinely used to treat patients with advanced heart failure as a bridge to transplant or a destination therapy. However, non-physiological shear stress generated by left ventricular assist devices damages blood cells.

TO VAD OR NOT TO VAD

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care, 2014
As part of its Healthy Aging & Independent Living (HAIL) initiative, Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation (CFI) examined the patient experience regarding the decision to receive a ventricular assistive device (VAD) implant, and patients’ quality of life after the surgery.

Transplant or VAD? [PDF]

Cardiology Clinics, 2011
Major advances in vascular assist device (VAD) technology and the clinical acceptance of destination therapy for patients with contraindications to transplant raise the questions of what patient benefit is necessary to recommend VAD implant for long-term support in patients who are transplant candidates. What are the appropriate indications for use and

Optics and VADs

2021
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) allow patients to be kept in stable hemodynamic conditions until the heart transplant is performed, which is more efficient in the use of organs and reduces transplantation of patients on the waiting list. VADs are classified into two subtypes: the first being pulsatile, used as a cardiopulmonary bypass, uses a ...

ONCOLOGIC PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED HEART FAILURE: TO VAD OR NOT TO VAD?

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
After heart disease, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Evolving cancer treatments have improved overall survival and many survivors now die of non-oncologic causes.

A universal VAD based on jointly trained deep neural networks

Interspeech, 2015
In this paper, we propose a joint training approach to voice activity detection (VAD) to address the issue of performance degradation due to unseen noise conditions.

Holmes-VAD: Towards Unbiased and Explainable Video Anomaly Detection via Multi-modal LLM

arXiv.org
Towards open-ended Video Anomaly Detection (VAD), existing methods often exhibit biased detection when faced with challenging or unseen events and lack interpretability.

Powering a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) With the Free-Range Resonant Electrical Energy Delivery (FREE-D) System

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2012
Wireless data communication technology has eliminated wired connections for data transfer to portable devices. Wireless power technology offers the possibility of eliminating the remaining wired connection: the power cord. For ventricular assist devices (
