We demonstrate ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) using continuum generation in an air–silica microstructure fiber as a low-coherence light source. A broadband OCT system was developed and imaging performed with bandwidth of 370 nm at 1.3‐μm center wavelength. Longitudinal resolutions 2.5 μm air ∼2 tissue were achieved. Ultrahigh-resolution biological tissuein vivo demonstrated.
Despite the epidemic rise in obesity, few studies have evaluated effect of obesity on cost following cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that increasing body mass index (BMI) is associated with worse risk-adjusted outcomes and higher cost.Medical records for 13 637 consecutive patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (9702), aortic (1535) or mitral (837) valve surgery, combined valve-coronary (1663) procedures were extracted from a regional Society Thoracic Surgeons certified...
Abstract This study demonstrates the first real-time imaging in vivo of human cartilage normal and osteoarthritic knee joints at a resolution micrometers, using optical coherence tomography (OCT). recently developed high-resolution technology is analogous to B-mode ultrasound except that it uses infrared light rather than sound. Real-time with 11-μm four frames per second was performed on six patients portable OCT system handheld probe during open surgery. Tissue registration achieved by...
We present the cases of two patients with bioprosthetic aortic valves who developed an allergy to alpha-gal. Each had premature degeneration their bioprosthesis and demonstrated rapidly increasing transvalvular gradients after development allergy. underwent successful replacement a mechanical valve within 1-2 years symptom onset. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12764 (J Card Surg 2016;31:446-448).
Background: Abnormal liver enzymes and endstage disease are reported to occur in 25%–100% 15%–40% of adult patients receiving long‐term parenteral nutrition (PN), respectively. The purpose this historic cohort study was investigate the incidence possible factors leading development our large home PN population. Methods: All on for at least 6 months from July 1991 through June 2002 were eligible. Patients excluded if they had active malignancy, underlying disease, or exposure a hepatotoxin....
Invasive bacterial biofilms are implicated in colorectal cancer. However, their prevalence on histologically normal tissues and polyps is not well established, risk factors of have been previously investigated. Here we evaluated potential procedural demographic associated with biofilm status using a cross-sectional observational cohort. Histologically colonic biopsies from 2,051 individuals undergoing screening colonoscopy were for fluorescence situ hybridization oligonucleotide probes...
ObjectiveComplex Crawford extent II thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) can be treated in a hybrid manner with proximal thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair, followed by staged distal open repair. This study evaluated the outcomes and health care-associated value of this new method compared traditional repair over 10 years.MethodsA prospectively collected database was used to identify all patients an TAAA undergoing at single institution between 2005 2015. Patient characteristics,...
