A CHALLENGING UPPER DIGESTIVE TRACT CONTINUITY RESTORATION AFTER RECURRENT ESOPHAGO-COLONIC ANASTOMOSIS COMPLICATIONS

A challenging upper digestive tract continuity restoration after recurrent esophago-colonic anastomosis complications

Abstract Background Acute and chronic complications in esophago-colonic anastomosis have a significant impact in the postoperative course of patients Retinol with colonic transposition.Evidence about their management is poor and surgical treatment is mostly based on tailored approaches, so each new experience could be useful to improve knowledge ab

Validating the Comparison Framework for the Finite Dimensions Model of Concentric Ring Electrodes Using Human Electrocardiogram Data

While progress has been made in design optimization of concentric ring electrodes maximizing the accuracy of the surface Laplacian estimation, it was based exclusively on the negligible dimensions model of the electrode.Recent proof of concept of the new finite dimensions model that adds the radius of the central disc and the widths of concentric r

A biodegradable, microstructured, electroconductive and nano-integrated drug eluting patch (MENDEP) for myocardial tissue engineering

We produced a microstructured, electroconductive and nano-functionalized drug eluting cardiac Tweeter patch (MENDEP) designed to attract endogenous precursor cells, favor their differentiation and counteract adverse ventricular remodeling in situ.MENDEP showed mechanical anisotropy and biaxial strength comparable to porcine myocardium, reduced impe

Wave generation in an OWC system for wave energy conversion

This paper aims to present an overview on the wavemakers used to generate waves inside a numerical wave tank taking into consideration the biphasic air-water aspect of the incident wave.Wave markers are used to simulate the Tweeter flow dynamic behaviour in the Oscillating Water Column (OWC) for wave energy conversion.Three kinds of these systems h
