Transcatheter closure of postsurgical ruptured sinus of valsalva with amplatzer duct Occluder II AS™ device
No full textSinus of Valsalva (SV) rupture is a rare, cardiac complication after surgical repair of complex congenital heart disease. This paper reports a 4-year-old male child with double outlet right ventricle (RV) and pulmonary stenosis with superior-inferior arrangement of the ventricles, who was submitted to surgical repair using the “reparation a l'etage ventriculaire” procedure. A few months after an uneventful surgical repair, his clinical condition abruptly worsened because of the rupture of the right SV into the RV outflow tract resulting in large left-to-right shunt and RV functional impairment. To avoid surgical re-do, this late-onset complication was successfully treated by transcatheter implantation of an Amplatzer Duct Occluder Type II Additional Size™ (ADO-IIAS, St. Jude Medical Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota, USA) device
Experimental validation of a hybrid computational model for selective stimulation using transverse intrafascicular multichannel electrodes.
No full textRecently a hybrid model based on the finite element method and on a compartmental biophysical representation of peripheral nerve fibers and intraneural electrodes was developed founded on experimental physiological and histological data. The model appeared to be robust when dealing with uncertainties in parameter selection. However, an experimental validation of the findings provided by the model is required to fully characterize the potential of this approach. The recruitment properties of selective nerve stimulation using transverse intrafascicular multichannel electrodes (TIME) were investigated in this work in experiments with rats and were compared to model predictions. Animal experiments were performed using the same stimulation protocol as in the computer simulations in order to rigorously validate the model predictions and understand its limitations. Two different selectivity indexes were used, and new indexes for measuring electrode performance are proposed. The model predictions are in decent agreement with experimental results both in terms of recruitment curves and selectivity values. Results show that these models can be used for extensive studies targeting electrode shape design, active sites shape, and multipolar stimulation paradigms. From a neurophysiological point of view, the topographic organization of the rat sciatic nerve, on which the model was based, has been confirme
Quantum Monte Carlo study of the long-range site-diluted XXZ model as realized by polar molecules
No full textMotivated by recent experiments with ultracold polar molecules trapped in deep optical lattices, we study ground-state properties of the site-diluted long-ranged XXZ model. Site dilution results in off-diagonal disorder. We map the spin model to a hard-core Bose-Hubbard model and perform large-scale Monte Carlo simulations by the worm algorithm. In absence of site dilution, we find that, for large enough interaction, three phases are stabilized: a superfluid phase, a checkerboard solid phase, only present at density m=0.5, and a checkerboard supersolid phase which can be reached by doping the CB phase away from half filling. In the presence site-dilution and at fixed density m=0.5, we find that, unlike what observed in the case of short-range hopping, localization never occurs even for site dilution larger than the percolation threshold, and off-diagonal order, although strongly suppressed, persists for arbitrarily large values of site dilution
