Objectives: Pseudoaneurysm formation in connective tissue patients postoperatively can be a challenging and life-threatening problem to treat. Repair of an aorta to intercostal bypass graft pseudoaneurysm post open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair by percutaneous glue embolization utilizing Dyna CT Needle Guidance technology is a safe, minimally invasive method with low morbidity and short post-procedural recovery.
Methods: A 30-year-old male with suspected connective tissue disorder who developed a Type B aortic dissection complicated by limb threatening right lower extremity ischemia treated with left-to-right fem-fem bypass and RLE fasciotomies.
Pain serves as a vital innate defense mechanism that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Understanding the physiological effects of pain well plays an important role in developing novel pain treatments. Nociceptor neurons play a key role in pain and inflammation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe polarization of light in Ocean Color (OC) applications provides important information about atmospheric parameters, water composition, and the ocean surface. The Stokes vector components and the degree of linear polarization of light contain useful information about the air-water interface, including ocean surface roughness. We present polarimetric measurements and analysis of the ocean wave slopes at several bands.

- Acute atrial fibrillation (AF) leads to noticeable changes in the tricuspid annulus (TA) dynamics, including an increase in TA area and a decrease in contractility.
- In a study involving adult sheep, measurements taken during AF show significant dilation of the tricuspid annulus compared to sinus rhythm, with reduced contraction percentages and changes in annular strain.
- These findings suggest that acute AF may contribute to the development of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of functional TR related to AF.
Tricuspid valve leaflets are dynamic tissues that can respond to altered biomechanical and hemodynamic loads. Each leaflet has unique structural and mechanical properties, leading to differential strains. We hypothesized that these intrinsic differences drive heterogeneous, disease-induced remodeling between the leaflets.
