Background: We describe our clinical experience performing device exchange from a HeartMate II (HM2) or HVAD to a HeartMate 3 (HM3) left ventricular assist device.
Methods: A single-center retrospective study was performed of all patients (N = 14) who underwent a left ventricular assist device exchange from HM2 (n = 7) or HVAD (n = 7) to HM3 between October 2018 and October 2021. The primary outcome was 1-year overall survival, and secondary outcomes included adverse events through discharge.
Results: All patients (median age, 59 years; 29% female) were destination therapy and required urgent device exchange because of pump failure. Although statistically insignificant, the 1-year overall survival was worse in the HVAD to HM3 group compared with the HM2 to HM3 cohort (57% vs 100%, respectively; = .19). The HVAD to HM3 group also experienced significantly more acute right-sided heart failure requiring right ventricular assist device support (71% vs 0%; = .02), ventilator days (11 days vs 1 day; = .001), and reoperation (100% vs 14%; = .004).
Conclusions: Patients being considered for device exchange from HVAD to HM3 may have a more complicated clinical course compared with HM2 to HM3 patients.

Implants aim to restore skeletal dysfunction associated with ageing and trauma, yet infection and ineffective immune responses can lead to failure. This project characterized the microbiological and host cell responses to titanium alloy with or without electroplated metallic copper. Bacterial viability counting and scanning electron microscopy quantified and visualized the direct and indirect bactericidal effects of the Cu-electroplated titanium (Cu-Ep-Ti) against two different Staphylococcus aureus strains.

Ferroelectric materials hold immense potential for diverse applications in sensors, actuators, memory storage, and microelectronics. The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics, particularly ultrathin compounds with stable crystal structure and room-temperature ferroelectricity, has led to significant advancements in the field. However, challenges such as depolarization effects, low Curie temperature, and high energy barriers for polarization reversal remain in the development of 2D ferroelectrics with high performance.

The loofah sponge has a complex, three-dimensional, porous mesh fiber structure characterized by markedly low density and excellent vibration isolation properties. In this study, loofah sponges made from dried were divided into two components: the core unit and the shell unit, which were further subdivided into five regions. Static compression performance tests and vibration isolation analysis were conducted on the loofah sponge and its individual parts.

The study included 12 patients with a closed transverse femoral fracture (AO 32a3) treated with dynamization (all the screws distal of the nail were removed) because of delayed healing and followed up for at least 2 years. These patients were evaluated for the presence of bone union, cortex-like sclerosis (corticalization) distal to the nail, and the distance of the corticalization from the joint during follow- up after dynamization.

In this work, using first-principles calculations, we predict a promising class of two-dimensional ferromagnetic semiconductors, namely Janus PrXY (X ≠ Y = Cl, Br, I) monolayers. Through first-principles calculations, we found that PrXY monolayers have excellent dynamic and thermal stability, and their band structures, influenced by magnetic exchange and spin-orbital coupling, exhibit significant valley polarization. Between and - valleys, the Berry curvature values are opposite to each other, resulting in the anomalous valley Hall effect.
