Increasing Venous Return Blood Flow to the Right Atrium Using the Party Balloon Inflation Maneuver

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
The party balloon inflation maneuver increases intrathoracic pressure, decreases venous return, and after release enhances venous return to the right atrium more effectively than does the conventional Valsalva maneuver.

Recent Progress on Flexible Multimodal Sensors: Decoupling Strategies, Fabrication and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, we establish a tripartite decoupling framework for flexible multimodal sensors, which elucidates the underlying principles of signal crosstalk and their solutions through material design, structural engineering, and AI algorithms. We also demonstrate its potential applications across environmental monitoring, health monitoring, human ...

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Diagnosis and operative repair strategy of an underlying tegmen defect presenting with spontaneous otogenic pneumocephalus after Valsalva maneuver

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2021
Background: The tegmen tympani and mastoideum are insidious locations of bony dehiscence. Large defects may result in encephalocele, cerebrospinal fluid leak, recurrent meningitis, and intracranial abscess.

Mean echogenicity and area of puborectalis muscle in women with stress urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after delivery [PDF]

, 2016
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for the development of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Urinary continence depends on normal urethral support, which is provided by normal levator ani muscle function. Our objective

A Meta‐Analysis and Simplified Nomenclature for Diagonal Coronary Artery and Ramus Intermedius Across Adult and Pediatric Hearts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomical descriptions of left‐sided oblique coronary branches remain inconsistent, hindering imaging interpretation and surgical planning. To quantify the prevalence, branching patterns and morphometry of the ramus intermedius (RI) and diagonal branches, and propose a unified nomenclature.
