Surgery, particularly open surgery, is known to cause tissue/organ adhesion during healing. These adhesions occur through contact between the surgical treatment site and other organ, bone, or abdominal sites. Fibrous bands can form in unnecessary areas various complications. Consequently, film- gel-type anti-adhesion agents have been developed. The development of sustained drug delivery systems very important for disease prevention. In this study, release behavior was controlled by...
Abstract Electrospinning is a simple versatile process used to produce nanofibers and collect them as nanofiber mat. However, due bending instability, electrospinning often produces mat with non-uniform thickness. In this study, we developed uniform-thickness electrospun (UTEN) production system movable collector based on real-time thickness measurement feedback control. This compatible void regions such mesh-type collector, two-parallel-metal-plate ring-type which facilitates the of light...
We study a new critical point which terminates first-order transition line along two smectic-A (SmA) liquid-crystal phases (or more generally any layered with uniaxial symmetry) different layer spacing coexist. call this C the SmA-SmA' point. develop model nonlinear elastic Hamiltonian to describe physical properties in vicinity of C. using mean-field theory, one-loop-order perturbation and \ensuremath{\epsilon} expansion. In is identical liquid-gas transition. one-loop corrections...
Abstract Aims Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is a disease in which the cause of cannot be identified despite comprehensive clinical evaluation. This study aimed to investigate yield and implications genetic testing for IVF. Methods results was based on multi-centre inherited arrhythmia syndrome registry South Korea from 2014 2017. Next-generation sequencing–based performed that included 174 genes previously linked cardiovascular disease. A total 96 patients were clinically...
Inherited arrhythmia (IA) is a more common cause of sudden cardiac death in Asian population, but little known about the genetic background IA probands. We aimed to investigate clinical characteristics and analyze underpinnings Korean cohort.This study was conducted multicenter cohort Registry from 2014 2017. Genetic testing performed using next-generation sequencing panel including 174 causative genes cardiovascular disease.Among 265 probands, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF)...
tion (AP) dimension higher than or 65 mm was used in some previous reports. 6)7)In addition to long-duration loading of the left atrium, other factors may also contribute this rare condition.Despite uncertainty regarding underlying pathophysiologic mechanism, rheumatic mitral valvular disease (MVD) is known be main cause GLA, and few studies reported that regurgitation (MR) from valve (MV) prolapse hypertrophic cardiomyopathy could related condition. 7)However, actual prevalence,...
Background Studies comparing left atrial (LA) function after surgical closure or percutaneous in patients with an septal defect (ASD) are lacking. Methods Between 1 and 3 years ASD treatment, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records transthoracic echocardiographic images of who had been diagnosed 20 age undergone (ASD-S) device (ASD-D). We measured LA peak systolic, early diastolic, late diastolic strain values using 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE)...
Purpose:The objective of this study was to elucidate the long-term prognosis patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in Korea. Materials and Methods:We enrolled 405 (age, 57.7±16.7 years; 311 men) who had undergone ICD implantation.The were divided into three groups: heart failure (HF) for primary (group 1, n=118) secondary prevention 2, n=93) non-HF 3, n=194).We compared appropriate inappropriate therapy delivery among groups between high-(heart rate ≥200 /min) low-rate...
When there is no pulmonary vein reconnection after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, patients can experience recurrence of fibrillation without clear evidence non-pulmonary foci.We describe a patient with significant stenosis and recurrent four procedures.After successful stenting, the symptoms were resolved, sinus rhythm was maintained 2 years treatment antiarrhythmic medication.We believe stenting potentially controlled by providing pressure relief or compressing epicardial...
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone is less effective in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) compared those paroxysmal AF. We investigate whether additional linear ablation from the superior vena cava to right septum and cavotricuspid isthmus improves rhythm outcome of AF undergoing cryoballoon PVI (Cryo-PVI). METHODS: In this investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized clinical trial, 289 refractory antiarrhythmic drug therapy were 1:1 either Cryo-PVI atrium...
This study examined the effects of social skills training combined with stories and movement activities designed to change behaviors children ADHD. Six first-grade ADHD participated in program, which was composed 15 sessions over 2 months. Our results indicated that：(1) Children`s problematic were reduced after training. Anxiety by a statistically significant level. Depression, delinquency, hyperactivity also reduced, but these did not reach (2) improved Self-assertion self-control increased...
Abstract Background This study aims to investigate the current status of AF (atrial fibrillation) catheter ablation in Korea. Methods The patients who underwent from September 2017 December 2019 were prospectively enrolled 37 arrhythmia centers. Demographic data, procedural characteristics, extent ablation, acute success lesion set, rate and independent risk factor for recurrence analyzed. Results A total 2402 [paroxysmal (PAF) 45.7%, persistent (PeAF) 43.1% redo 11.2%] included. Pulmonary...
Although left atrial appendage closure is an alternative to warfarin use in fibrillation patients with a high bleeding risk, long-term outcome data real-world practice are still limited. We describe delayed shunt on the WATCHMAN fabric membrane and associated stroke at 7 months after procedure. This device surface disappeared 15 follow-up transesophageal echocardiogram. Key words: Left Atrial Appendage; Stroke; Anticoagulants
