Article Synopsis
- Infective endocarditis (IE) can occur after cardiac surgery, though it is not very common.
- A case is reported where a patient developed IE after undergoing surgery to close a ventricular septal defect, with the infection affecting the pulmonary valve.
- The condition was treated successfully by removing infected tissue and reconstructing the pulmonary valve with a part of the right atrial appendage.
Torrefaction influences the structural and physicochemical properties of biomass, thus further altering its thermal degradation behavior. In this study, the pyrolysis characteristics, reaction kinetics, and thermodynamic parameters of raw and torrefied Chinese fir (CF) were investigated. The torrefaction was conducted at 220 °C (mild) and 280 °C (severe), the pyrolysis was performed from ambient temperature to 600 °C, and four different heating rates (i.

Mitochondrial dysfunction in PD entails inhibition of the mitochondrial complex I (CI) in the dopaminergic neurons of substantia nigra. The events contributing to CI inhibition and downstream pathways are not completely elucidated.
