Implantation of an Artificial Endothelial Layer for Treatment of Chronic Corneal Edema
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe a novel device that may serve as an alternative to Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for the treatment of chronic corneal edema. Methods: The EndoArt (EyeYon Medical, Israel) is a flexible, 50-μm thin artificial endothelial layer that matches the cornea’s posterior curvature and functions as a fluid barrier ...

Cutaneous Patches to Monitor Myoelectric Activity of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Postoperative Pediatric Patients
Abstract Purpose: Limited means exist to assess gastrointestinal activity in pediatric patients postoperatively. Recently, myoelectric gastrointestinal activity recorded by cutaneous patches has been shown in adult patients to be predictive of clinical return of gastrointestinal function postoperatively. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the feasibility of this system in ...

Elevated Preoperative Galectin-3 Is Associated With Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery
Annotations Preoperative serum Gal-3 was measured in 1498 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery and/or valve. Patients in the highest third of Gal-3 levels had 2.95-greater odds of developing KDIGO Stage 2 or 3 (p < 0.001) and 1.71-increased odds of developing KDIGO Stage 1 (p = 0.001), compared to the lowest third. Elevated preoperative Gal-3 levels significantly ...

Surgical management of an infected external iliac artery interposition graft with a bioengineered human acellular vessel
ABSTRACT Infection of prosthetic vascular grafts can manifest as pain, pseudoaneurysms, or arterial insufficiency in the leg. We present the case of a female patient with a medical history of a right external iliac artery endofibrosis, with a persistently infected synthetic iliofemoral bypass graft, which we replaced with a bioengineered human acellular vessel. At the 12-month follow-up visit, ...
