A novel design method for lossy Blass matrix beam-forming networks (LBNMFNs) is presented. Compared to those formerly developed, the new allows of an LBMBFN in order generate not only two simultaneous beams but also arbitrary number them. This skill obtained by means a approach minimize losses that one transform nonlinear multivariable programming problem into linear one-variable problem. The solution such problem, then, can be carried out very straightforward way applying Gram-Schmidt...
We prospectively evaluated the accuracy of computerized impedance plethysmography (CIP) in diagnosis asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 246 consecutive high-risk patients scheduled for hip surgery, with bilateral venography used comparison. The CIP was performed as a surveillance program every third day. If remained negative, on postoperative day 10 +/- 1 or treatment 14 nonoperated-on patients. became positive, within 24 hours. sensitivity and specificity proximal distal DVT were 19%...
Abstract We engineered an in vitro model of bioartificial 3D bone organoid consistent with anatomical and vascular microenvironment common to mammalian flat short bones. To achieve this, we chose the decellularized–decalcified matrix adult male rat scapula, implemented reconstruction its intrinsic vessels, obtained through original intravascular perfusion polylevolactic (PLLA), followed by coating PLLA‐fabricated vascularization tail collagen. As a result, geometry native cortical cancellous...
Disordered and hypomineralized woven bone formation by dysfunctional mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) characterize delayed fracture healing endocrine -metabolic disorders like fibrous dysplasia Paget disease of bone. To shed light on molecular players in osteoblast differentiation, formation, mineralization MSCs we looked at the intermediate filament desmin (DES) during skeletogenic commitment rat marrow (rBMSCs), where its bone-related action remains elusive.
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a good choice for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment when surgery and liver transplantation are not feasible. Few studies reported the value of prognostic factors influencing survival after chemoembolization. In this study, we evaluated whether preoperative inflammatory such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio platelet affected our patient by carcinoma.We retrospectively total 72 patients with that underwent TACE. We enrolled different...
An algorithm based on ant colony optimization has been proposed to perform array thinning. Ant algorithms are rapidly convergent because the solution is searched using both heuristic information and positive feedback from previously found best solution. The for thinning was defined in association classical combinatorial knapsack problem. Such an allows one define number of elements deactivate. Thus it very useful when needed reduce side-lobes active arrays with a constraint reduction...
We recently designed an innovative scaffold-bioreactor unit for the bioengineering of a three-dimensional (3D) bioartificial human thyroid gland or its miniaturized replica as part microfluidic chip test system. This device is based on evidence that 3D geometry intraglandular stromal/vascular scaffold (SVS; i.e., fibrous and vascular matrix) mammalian viscera plays key role in guiding growth differentiation vitro seeded cells. Therefore, we initiated research program focused computer-aided...
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is produced by neurons in the rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and may have an important role as a prolactin-releasing factor. Recent work from our laboratories has shown that thyroid hormone regulates content of VIP mRNA anterior pituitary, but its effect on PVN not known. To determine whether alters biosynthesis PVN, we studied hypothyroidism immunoreactive (IR)-VIP using histochemical techniques. By immunocytochemistry, only scattered...
Periprosthetic fractures are demanding and though uncommon, tibial periprosthetic furtherly destined to impact clinical surgical orthopaedics due the increasing number of arthroplasties performed yearly. Systematic research focusing on tibia reported beginning 1990 until 2022 was conducted following databases: Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded from Web Science, ScienceDirect, CINAHL, LILACS. A total 473...
