Contribution of Left and Right Atrial Appendage Activities to ECG Fibrillation Waves

Jean-Marc Vesin, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot

It was recently shown that atrial fibrillation (AF) waves on chest lead V1 adequately reflect right atrial appendage (RAA) activity during long standing persistent AF (pers-AF). The contribution of the left atrial (LA) activity to chest leads AF waves, how ...

Screening of the factors influencing frictional interactions between a cylindrical tip and the cardiac wall using factorial analysis

Hannes Bleuler, Giulio Rognini, Lionel Flaction, Bandar Muntazar Hakim

Knowledge of frictional forces acting on the tips of minimally invasive medical devices is important in the design and simulation of such devices. Moreover, several studies have shown that uncontrolled frictional forces can induce damage to organs. The goa ...

Commissioning scenarios and tests for the LHC collimation system

Chiara Bracco

The physics reach of the LHC requires unprecedented luminosity and beam intensity in proton-proton collisions. The maximum intensity in the LHC is directly coupled to the maximum peak beam loss rate and the cleaning efficiency from the collimation system. ...

Selective growth of mucolytic bacteria including Clostridium perfringens in a neonatal piglet model of total parenteral nutrition

Bart Deplancke

BACKGROUND: Compromised barrier function and intestinal inflammation are common complications of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that the lack of enteral nutrients in TPN might select commensal or pathogenic bacteria t ...
