Purpose: Hydrocephalus requiring permanent CSF shunting after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is frequent. It is unknown which type of valve is optimal. This study evaluates if the revision rate of gravitational differential pressure valves (G-DPVs, GAV® system (B Braun)) (G-DPV) is comparable to adjustable pressure valves (Codman Medos Hakim) (APV) in the treatment of post-aSAH hydrocephalus.
Methods: The use of a gravitational differential pressure valve is placed in direct comparison with an adjustable pressure valve system. A retrospective chart review is performed to compare the revision rates for the two valve systems.
Results: Within the registry from Radboud University Medical Center, 641 patients with a SAH could be identified from 1 January 2013 until 1 January 2019, whereas at the Heinrich Heine University, 617 patients were identified, totaling 1258 patients who suffered from aSAH. At Radboud University Medical Center, a gravitational differential pressure valve is used, whereas at the Heinrich Heine University, an adjustable pressure valve system is used. One hundred sixty-six (13%) patients required permanent ventricular peritoneal or atrial shunting. Shunt dysfunction occurred in 36 patients: 13 patients of the 53 (25%) of the gravitational shunt cohort, and in 23 of the 113 (20%) patients with an adjustable shunt (p = 0.54). Revision was performed at a mean time of 3.2 months after implantation with the gravitational system and 8.2 months with the adjustable shunt system. Combined rates of over- and underdrainage leading to revision were 7.5% (4/53) for the gravitational and 3.5% (4/113) for the adjustable valve system (p = 0 .27).
Conclusion: The current study does not show a benefit of a gravitational pressure valve (GAV® system) over an adjustable pressure valve (CODMAN ® HAKIM®) in the treatment of post-aSAH hydrocephalus. The overall need for revision is high and warrants further improvements in care.

Analysis and research on water hammer protection measures based on KY PIPE for long distance pumping station water transmission engineering with pump stoppage.

In the process of long-distance pressurized pipeline water transmission, in addition to the problem of water hammer hazards that can easily occur in the pipeline, the safety of the pipeline before the pump also presents hidden dangers. When excessive water hammer pressure occurs in the whole pipeline, it can easily lead to pipeline leakage or even pipe bursting. In this work, we analyze the pressure head in the pipeline of a long-distance pumping station using modeling calculations from KY PIPE software, combined with data from an actual water transmission project, to study the effect of stopping the pump water hammer.

In this paper, the mathematical model of the aviation pressure servo valve controlled actuator system(APSVCAS) considering nonlinearity is established based on a jet pipe pressure servo valve in this article. And the dynamic characteristics and stability boundary of APSVCAS are analyzed, which provides theoretical guidance for the actual composition and the determination of parameters. Firstly, a jet-tube two-stage pressure servo valve for aviation hydraulic system is designed, and an accurate model of APSVCAS is established considering multiple nonlinear factors.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is reported to have early-phase and delayed-phase organ-protective effects. Previous studies have focused on the organ protection of a single RIPC protocol, and the clinical outcomes remain uncertain. Whether the modified RIPC (mRIPC) protocol performed repeatedly provides cardiopulmonary protection is still uncertain.

Introduction The study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the early patient outcome and left ventricular function after mitral valve replacement with a tilting disc valve and total preservation. Patients and methods This retrospective observational study includes patients who underwent mitral valve replacement using a tilting disc valve with total preservation of mitral valvular and subvalvular apparatus from July 2021 to August 2022 at a single center. Results The data were reviewed retrospectively for age, sex, comorbidities, operating time, aortic cross-clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, preoperative and postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, mean gradient across the mitral valve, left ventricular diameter, left atrial size, atrial fibrillation, complications, mortality, and early patient outcome.
