Abstract Introduction Mitral Valve (MV) 3D structural data can be easily obtained using standard transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) devices but quantitative pre- and intraoperative volume analysis of the MV is presently not feasible in the cardiac operation room (OR).Finite element method (FEM) modelling is necessary to carry out precise and in
The impact of UV radiation on the high-temperature behavior of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) fiber was investigated in this study.The ultimate strength, failure strain elasticity archstone pets modulus and toughness were employed to evaluate the degradation caused by the coupling effects of UV radiation and high temperature.The degradation characteri
The contact of blood with the bioincompatible membranes of the dialyzer, which is part modbiv of the extracorporeal circuit during hemodialysis (HD), causes upregulation of various cellular and non-cellular processes, including massive generation and release of reactive oxygen species (ROS), (which is one of the primary causes of anemia in chronic
