Recapitulation of the cellular microenvironment of the heart, which promotes cell contraction, remains a key challenge in cardiac tissue engineering. We report here on our work, where for the first time, a 3-dimensional (3D) spring-like fiber scaffold was fabricated, successfully mimicking the
Designing scaffolds with persistent elasticity and conductivity to mimic microenvironment becomes a feasible way to repair cardiac tissue. Injectable biomaterials for cardiac tissue engineering have demonstrated able to restore cardiac function by preventing ventricular dilation, enhancing
Thrombosis is a major complication of polycythemia vera (PV) and also a well-known complication of thalassemia. We reported a case of non-atherosclerotic ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in a 17-year-old man with concurrent post-splenectomized hemoglobin H-Constant Spring disease
BACKGROUND
Spring-assisted cranioplasty has been proposed as an alternative to total calvarial remodeling for sagittal craniosynostosis. Advantages include its minimally invasive nature, and reduced morbidity and hospital stay. Potential drawbacks include the need for a second procedure for removal
The effects of extreme temperatures on human health have been well described. However, the adverse health effects of warm weather that occurs outside the summer period have had little attention. We used daily anomalous AMI morbidity and daily anomalous temperature to determine the impact of
OBJECTIVE
Seasonal variation in stroke incidence was examined using 14-year stroke registration data in a Japanese population. We also examined if this variation was modified by conventional stroke risk factors hypertension, diabetes mellitus, drinking, and smoking.
METHODS
Data were obtained from
We performed transcatheter embolization in two cases with huge pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (AVF) using a metallic "spider" and spring embolus. Conventional spring embolus or detachable balloon could not be used in these cases. Metallic spider was indicated for pulmonary AVF with a feeding artery
OBJECTIVE
To study the relationship between the solar term of onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its syndrome types in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
METHODS
The clinical data about 430 patients with AMI hospitalized in Foshan Hospital of TCM from February 4th 2003 (Beginning of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether hospital readmission after admission for heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), and pneumonia varies by season.
METHODS
All patients in 2005-2009 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases for New York and California hospitalized for
Iran is among the countries which change official time, every year according to their constitutions. Studies have shown an increase of incidence ratio (IR) of acute myocardial infarction by these time transitions. Despite annual time changes in Iran, there is no published data to prove this among
We examined the seasonal variations in the incidence and case fatality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a geographically defined population using 16-year AMI registration data. It remains unclear whether the incident events of AMI display any seasonal variation. Documentation of such a
BACKGROUND
Prior research has shown a transient increase in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after daylight savings time (DST) in the spring as well as a decrease in AMI after returning to standard time in the fall. These findings have not been verified in a broader population and
Transitions into and out of Daylight Saving Time (DST) may disrupt circadian rhythms and lead to sleep disturbance and deprivation. A first report observed an association between DST and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), especially after the spring shift and in women. We tried to identify and
Little is known about the causality and pathological mechanism underlying the association of seasonal variation with myocardial injury in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).We evaluated the association of seasonal effect with
