Gene-expression profiling for rejection surveillance after cardiac transplantation.

N Engl J Med 362(20):1890-900 (2010) PMID 20413602

Endomyocardial biopsy is the standard method of monitoring for rejection in recipients of a cardiac transplant. However, this procedure is uncomfortable, and there are risks associated with it. Gene-expression profiling of peripheral-blood specimens has been shown to correlate with the results of an endomyocardial biopsy.

  1. Ultrasonic transcutaneous energy transfer using a continuous wave 650kHz Gaussian shaded transmitter

    Ultrasonics 50(7):9 (2010) PMID 20219226

    This paper proposes ultrasonic transcutaneous energy transfer (UTET) based on a kerfless transmitter with Gaussian radial distribution of its radiating surface velocity. UTET presents an attractive alternative to electromagnetic TET, where a low power transfer density of less than 94 mW/cm(2) is suf...

    Background Although it is widely recognised that frail older persons need adaptation of healthcare services, it is unclear how hospital care in general can best be tailored to their frailty. Objective To systematically review the evidence for hospital-wide interventions for older pat...
