This study evaluated transcatheter approach for relieving right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction using combined non-compliant balloon dilatation of the RVOT and conal artery occlusion in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), both uncorrected and post-intra-cardiac repair (ICR) restenosis. A prospective study was conducted from January 2022 to June 2023, including 40 symptomatic patients aged over 12 years with RVOT obstruction in TOF. Exclusion criteria included moderate to severe pulmonary regurgitation.

Hyphae are viscoelastic tubes whose internal pressure pushes the cell membrane against the inner surface of the cell wall. Catalytic yielding of the wall allows this turgor to force its polymers apart as new materials are added to the surface of the growing tip. Turgor drops slightly as the wall expands, creating a pressure gradient that causes the cytoplasm to flow toward the tip.

Non-invasive estimation of pressure differences using 2D synthetic aperture ultrasound imaging offers a precise, low-cost, and risk-free diagnostic tool. Unlike invasive techniques, this preserves natural blood flow and avoids the limitations of devices that occupy lumen space. This paper evaluates a previously published estimator, modified to incorporate Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) echo-cancellation, using data from ten healthy volunteers and one patient.

Myocardial work (MW) is a new echocardiographic parameter used in the assessment of cardiac energy expenditure. The aim of the current study was to evaluate changes in left ventricular MW parameters in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). One hundred and thirty five consecutive patients who underwent TAVI at one center were evaluated before and after the procedure using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to assess the following MW indices: global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), global work index (GWI) and global work efficiency (GWE).

Exploring tazarotene, a third-generation retinoid for potential hand osteoarthritis treatment, this study presents the development and validation of an ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole detector mass spectrometry (UPLC-QDa) method for the simultaneous quantification of tazarotene and tazarotenic acid, its active metabolite, in porcine skin. Method development involved a design-of-experiments approach for chromatographic optimization of gradient steepness, organic solvent volume, column temperature, capillary voltage, flow rate, and cone voltage. Central composite orthogonal design was used to optimize peak area, peak width, retention time, and resolution.
