TOWARDS ADDITIVE MANUFACTURE OF FUNCTIONAL, SPLINE-BASED MORPHOMETRIC MODELS OF HEALTHY AND DISEASED CORONARY ARTERIES: IN VITRO PROOF-OF-CONCEPT USING A PORCINE TEMPLATE

The aim of this study is to assess the additive manufacture of morphometric models of healthy and diseased coronary arteries.Using a dissected porcine coronary artery, a model was developed with the use of computer aided engineering, with splines used to design arteries in health and Screwdriver Kit disease.The model was altered to demonstrate four

Summary: Obesity is a clinical problem and an important adaptation in many species.Hibernating mammals, for example, become obese, insulin resistant, and hyperinsulinemic to store fat.Here, we combine comparative phylogenomics with large-scale human genome Photo Interrupter data to uncover candidate cis elements regulating mammalian obesity.Our stu

IntroductionThe present study aimed to assess changes in biochemical parameters during Serums the adaptation of the myocardial infarction model to a conventional Hungarian minipig breed.According to our hypothesis, changes in the blood level of the necroenzymes are not only related to the interventional procedure but are also influenced by peri-pro

Background: Mortuary and cemetery workers may be exposed to the bodies of people with SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, prevalence of infection among these groups is unknown.Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) for RT-PCR and serologic testing for SARS-CoV-2 were performed on mortuary and cemetery workers in Qatar.Data on specific job duties, living co

Background Modified Bishop score (MBS) and cervical length determination by transvaginal sonography (TVS) are the two methods for predicting successful vaginal delivery based on pre-induction favourability of the cervix.Aims and Objectives This study compared both methods for predicting successful vaginal delivery.The primary objective was to compa
