Abstract
We overcame this limitation in a previous study by combining the phantom with a finite-element (FE) mechanical model of the left ventricle (LV) capable of more realistically simulating regional defects caused by ischemia. In the present work, we extend this model giving it the ability to accurately...

Abstract
Adhesions are the most frequent complication of abdominopelvic surgery, causing important short- and long-term problems, including infertility, chronic pelvic pain and a lifetime risk of small bowel obstruction. They also complicate future surgery with considerable morbidity and expense, and an impor...

Abstract
These results persisted during the 1-year follow-up period or until death. Minor adverse effects (moderate diarrhea and mild hypotension) were frequent (n = 64 and n = 47, respectively), and severe complications occurred in 1 patient with a transient paraparesis (n = 1). No procedure-related mortali...

Abstract
Baseline IAP in the obese is greater than normal weight population (0-6 mm Hg), but not in range of intra-abdominal hypertension (>12 mm Hg). Postoperative status is unrelated to IAP. Elevated BMI does impact IAP, but the incremental value is small. Markedly increased IAP should not be attributed so...

Abstract
We find that Pbx/Meis, Hox, and temporal genes act in three different ways. Posteriorly, Pbx/Meis and posterior Hox genes block lineage progression within an early temporal window, by triggering cell cycle exit. Because Ap neurons are generated late in the thoracic 5-6 lineage, this prevents generat...

Obesity, epidural analgesia, and subcostal incision are risk factors for postoperative desaturation.
Abstract
Of the 206 patients enrolled, 171 were retained for analysis. Desaturation occurred in 65 patients (38%). Forty-eight of these had constant hypoxemia with nadir oxygen saturation values ranging from 71-89%. The remaining 17 patients experienced nocturnal episodic hypoxemia. After multivariate analys...
