transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. since the initial partner trial results, use of tavr has been on the rise each year. new delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...

Background and Purpose: Candida endocarditis is an infrequent disease with a high mortality rate, which commonly occurs in immunosuppressed patients with cardiac valve replacement. We reported a 70-year-old woman diagnosed with Candida prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). This study also involved a review of all published cases of Candida PVE from 1970. Case report: Herein, we reported a 70-ye...

In this research, we study an optimal overhaul–replacement policy of a multi-degraded repairable system sold with a free replacement warranty. In the proposed replacement policy, a maintenance action and failure are dependent on a system degradation level and the system age, and hence the replacement model will provide more effective maintenance decisions. Failure of the system is modeled using...

different methods have been evaluated for manufacturing the porous ti6al4v alloys according todecreasing stress shielding phenomenon and increasing mechanical compatibility between themetallic components and the host tissue. for this purpose, in this work ti6al4v alloy chips werepressed under 400 mpa pressure and then samples were categorized and heated into two groups at1000 and 1150℃ under a ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a hyaluronic acid containing eye drop in ameliorating ocular surface pathology and discomfort in canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca (kcs). twenty five dogs with kcs treated with a topical carbomer (ca)-based tear replacement gel were moved to treatment with a hyaluronic acid (ha)-containing tear replacement eye drop. dogs were subject to a fu...

this study investigates the vertical replacement of salts, variability of electrical conductivity (ec) and soil acidity (ph) due to direct electrical current. a plexiglas cylinder 100 cm in depth with a 14 cm radius was used as a soil container and filled with uniform moist soil to 90 cm. during the experiments, the bottom 10 cm of soil in the cylinder was kept saturated. a steel bar was used a...
