Advantages of the Beall valve prosthesis.

Followup of 29 patients with a Beau mitral valve prosthesii has shown important advantages over the KayShiiey valve. No late deaths and no emboli were noted during an average 14 month (range 8 to 27 months) follewup. Mitral insufficiency was not noted clinically or by angiography. Hernodynamic studies in nine patients 16 months postoperation showed improvement. Although all patients had evidenc...

Ten-year pathological study of Beall mitral valve prostheses.

Detailed pathological studies are reported on 20 cloth-covered Beall mitral valve prostheses, which had to be removed for valve failure nine months to 10 years after implantation. Results in all patients except one indicated that there was a progressive and persistent granulomatous reaction that continued up to at least 10 years. Although the rate of tissue ingrowth into the valve decreased wit...

Evolut Ionary Schedul Ing and Rout Ing

The aim of this paper is to clearly demonstrate the importance of finding a good balance between genetic search and local search in the implementation of hybrid evolutionary multi-criterion optimization (EMO) algorithms. We first modify the local search part of an existing multi-objective genetic local search (MOGLS) algorithm. In the modified MOGLS algorithm, the computation time spent by loca...
