Susceptibility of ePTFE vascular grafts and bioengineered human acellular vessels to infection
Background: Synthetic expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) grafts are routinely used for vascular repair and reconstruction but prone to sustained bacterial infections. Investigational bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) have shown clinical success and may confer lower susceptibility to infection. Here we directly compared the susceptibility of ePTFE grafts and HAV to bacterial ...

Force Myography to Control Robotic Upper Extremity Prostheses: A Feasibility Study
Advancement in assistive technology has led to the commercial availability of multi-dexterous robotic prostheses for the upper extremity. The relatively low performance of the currently used techniques to detect the intention of the user to control such advanced robotic prostheses, however, limits their use. This article explores the use of force myography (FMG) as a potential alternative to ...

SAVVE - Ongoing Pivotal - Case Study
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the valves inside the veins of your leg do not function properly, causing blood to flow backwards and pool in the lower leg, leading to elevated venous pressure inside the leg veins. The purpose of the SAVVE study is to determine whether the VenoValve® is a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe, deep venous ...

Understanding Pediatric Cardiomyopathy: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options
Up to 5,000 American infants and children are diagnosed with pediatric cardiomyopathy each year. Learn more about this rare but potentially serious condition. Cardiomyopathy, which is a general term for diseases of the heart muscle, is relatively rare in children, affecting only about 12 out of every 1 million Americans under the age of 18. Among the approximately 1,000 to 5,000 new cases ...

The Parasym Device? Significantly Increases Parasympathetic Activity?
Autonomic Balance The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) both work in balance and together make up the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is responsible for many of the bodies autonomic (unconscious) processes. The parasympathetic system has been referred to as 'rest and digest' and the sympathetic system to that of 'fight or flight'. Activating the PNS ...

Dynamic Surgical Guidance to Facilitate Dental Implant Placement
The long-term success of dental implant surgery is dependent, in part, on accurate planning and placement of the implant.1 Currently, there are many digital planning systems available to aid the clinician in pre-operative treatment planning, although the main challenge with these planning systems is to accurately transfer the digital plan to the clinical situation. Most systems involve taking a ...

Polysaccharides Function as Backbone for Embryonic Osteogenesis
Osteogenesis, or new bone formation, begins in the early stages of embryonic development and continues postnatally until skeletal maturity is reached in early adulthood. Osteogenesis reoccurs in the event of bone trauma, such as a fracture or surgically created defect. Bone mass can also increase in response to chronic weight bearing from daily use or decrease due to a lack of movement or applied ...
