In adolescents and adults with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), right ventricle (RV) electromechanical dyssynchrony (EMD) due to bundle branch block (RBBB) is associated reduced exercise capacity RV dysfunction. While the development RBBB following surgical repair (rTOF) a frequent sequela, it not known whether EMD present in every patient immediately rTOF. The specific timing onset rTOF therefore provides an opportunity assess acute simultaneous acquisition EMD. Transthoracic echocardiography...
The global pandemic of antibiotic resistance is an ever-burgeoning public health challenge, motivating the development adjunct bactericidal therapies. Nitric oxide (NO) a potent bioactive gas that induces variety therapeutic effects, including and biofilm dispersion properties. short half-life, high reactivity, rapid diffusivity NO make delivery challenging. goal this work was to characterize NO-loaded microbubbles (MB) stabilized with lipid shell assess feasibility antibacterial therapy
