What’s New in MCS

چکیده
Right ventricular dysfunction and significant tricuspid regurgitation are frequently seen in end stage heart failure patients undergoing Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation. Clinical impact of tricuspid valve repair at the time of LVAD implantation in patients with pre-existing significant tricuspid regurgitation has been a topic of debate for several years. Some groups have advocated for concomitant repair and reported decreased postoperative right ventricular failure and improved clinical outcomes. However, the STS database analysis by Roberston etal., showed worse early operative outcomes in the group that underwent concomitant tricuspid valve procedures. At this time, there are no guidelines or randomized controlled trials to guide management of significant tricuspid regurgitation in patient’s undergoing LVAD implantation.

متن کاملManagement Control Systems and Strategy: What’s Been Happening?
The point of departure of this paper is the agenda for further research advanced by Langfield-Smith (1997) in her critique of studies investigating the relationship between management control systems (MCS) and strategy. In considering the ways in which subsequent MCS-strategy research has advanced our knowledge according to Langfield-Smith’s initial observations, the present paper proposes a re...
متن کاملAN ADAPTIVE IMPORTANCE SAMPLING-BASED ALGORITHM USING THE FIRST-ORDER METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY
Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is a useful tool for computation of probability of failure in reliability analysis. However, the large number of samples, often required for acceptable accuracy, makes it time-consuming. Importance sampling is a method on the basis of MCS which has been proposed to reduce the computational time of MCS. In this paper, a new adaptive importance sampling-based algorith...
متن کاملA Fast Calculation Method for Analyzing the Effect of Wind Generation on ATC
Wind energy penetration in power system has been increased very fast and large amount of capitals invested for wind farms all around the world. Meanwhile, in power systems with wind turbine generators (WTGs), the value of Available transfer capability (ATC) is influenced by the probabilistic nature of the wind power. The Mont Carlo Simulation (MCS) is the most common method to model the uncerta...
متن کاملEffect of berberine on pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in rats
Objective: Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) that are usually used for treatment of epilepsy have substantial side effects and about 30% of patients continue to have seizures with current AEDs therapy. Some herbs which traditionally used in the management of seizures of many rural areas of the developing countries have shown anticonvulsant activity in modern pharmacological bioassays. The aim of the p...
