Anatomy-driven design of a prototype video laryngoscope for extremely low birth weight infants

Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants frequently require endotracheal intubation for assisted ventilation or as a route for administration of drugs or exogenous surfactant. In adults and less premature infants, the risks of this intubation can be great ...

Rate-dependence of 2:1 atrial capture as a protective mechanism against atrial tachycardia-induced atrial fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Florian Jousset, Etienne Pruvot

We recently observed periods of intermittent 2:1 atrial capture in the human left atrium (LA), preceded by atrial repolarization alternans during pacing-induced atrial tachycardia (PIAT). The mechanism involved in resumption of 1:1 atrial capture remains u ...

An assessment of ductus venosus tapering and wave transmission from the fetal heart

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Pressure and flow pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus (DV) but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein (UV). Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in p ...

An in vivo culture system for human embryos using an encapsulation technology: a pilot study

Patrick Aebischer, Nicolas Bouche

ACKGROUND: Animal studies have demonstrated better embryo development in vivo than in vitro. This pilot study tested the feasibility of using a novel in utero culture system (IUCS) to obtain normal human fertilization and embryo development. METHODS: The I ...

In vivo evaluation of human fetal cells as allogenic cell source for tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Corinne Scaletta

The aim of this study was to test the association of fetal bone cells with ceramic reinforced PLA scaffolds for tissue engineering. As animal models, the craniotomy and the femoral condyle approaches in rats were chosen to follow cortical and trabecular bo ...

Bioengineering of foetal membrane repair

Preterm premature rupture of the foetal membranes (fruber vorzeitiger Blasensprung) has remained a devastating complication of pregnancy with very high risk of pregnancy loss. Several methods of sealing spontaneously ruptured membranes to stop amniotic flu ...

Notch signaling in hematopoiesis and lymphopoiesis: lessons from Drosophila

Freddy Radtke, Anne Wilson

The evolutionarily conserved Notch signaling pathway regulates a broad spectrum of cell fate decisions and differentiation processes during fetal and postnatal life. It is involved in embryonic organogenesis as well as in the maintenance of homeostasis of ...

Biocompatibility of bioresorbable poly(L-lactic acid) composite scaffolds obtained by supercritical gas foaming with human fetal bone cells

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Boris Hinz

The aim of this investigation was to test the biocompatibility of three-dimensional bioresorbable foams made of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA), alone or filled with hydroxyapatite (HA) or beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), with human primary osteoblasts, usi ...

Fetal bone cells for tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Pierre-François Leyvraz

We envision the use of human fetal bone cells for engineered regeneration of adult skeletal tissue. A description of their cellular function is then necessary. To our knowledge, there is no description of human primary fetal bone cells treated with differe ...

Immunocytochemical expression of monocarboxylate transporters in the human visual cortex at midgestation

Pierre Magistretti, Maxime Olivier Baud, Luc Pellerin

Lactate and the other monocarboxylates are a major energy source for the developing brain. We investigated the immunocytochemical expression of two monocarboxylate transporters, MCT1 and MCT2, in the human visual cortex between 13 and 26 post-ovulatory wee ...
