    Evaluating transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect using amplatz ventricular septal defect devices remains important, if a technically feasible method with low and acceptable complication rates is to be identified. Incidence of heart block may be minimised by avoiding overs...

    : Biofilm was present in all catheters. Overall, bacteria density, catheter surface coverage, biofilm thickness, and exopolysaccharide content were significantly higher in catheters from patients with bacteremia (5.3 [95% CI, 3.4-7.2] colony-forming unit [CFU]/mL; 47% [95% CI, 34%-60%]; 41 [95% CI, 2...

    Urethral catheterization of the female guinea pig has potential diagnostic, therapeutic and research applications. Urethral catheter placement in the female guinea pig is relatively easy to carry out and has fewer potential complications than does catheter placement in male guinea pigs.
