Creating transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) requires accessing a portal vein branch from a metal cannula wedged in a hepatic vein. This initial step in shunt creation… (More)
Material-related effects of a brushite and a PLGA controlled release system loaded with two distinct doses of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) (3.5 and 17.5 μg), pre-encapsulated in… (More)
P wave detection requires a robust QRS-T cancellation method. Some interesting algorithms have been proposed for beat-to-beat QRS-T cancellation. Previous studies have shown that adaptive methods… (More)
Animal models have been used as insight into the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis, even though most have failed to reproduce all stages of human disease, limiting progression in experimental treatment… (More)
