Thymus dysgenesis in nude (nu nu) mice.

Destination Therapy with the magnetically levitated HVAD

Results Our data show preoperative values including age [67.1 y+5.0 y] and INTERMACS classification [range 2-4]. The indication for DT includes old age, compliance problems, and severe comorbidities. Outcome data demonstrate a low 30-day mortality in elective DT patients (100% survival). Mean follow up after permanent Heartware implantation was in average 544 days (range, 160-1512). 1 year surv...

Mycobacterium lepraemurium infection of nude athymic (nu/nu) mice.

Nude athymic (nu/nu) mice on a BALB/c background and their heterozygous euthymic litter mates (nu/+) were infected with either 10(8) or 10(6) Mycobacterium lepraemurium organisms intravenously or in the left hind footpad (LHF). After LHF infection with 10(8) M. lepraemurium organisms, nu/+ mice slowly developed a response that consisted of LHF swelling and local resistance to Listeria monocytog...

Accuracy of the HVAD Pump Flow Estimation Algorithm.

Controller algorithms are an important feature for assessment of ventricular assist device performance. Flow estimation is one algorithm implemented in the HeartWare continuous-flow ventricular assist device pump system. This parameter estimates flow passing through the pump and is calculated using speed, current, and hematocrit. In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to assess the algorit...
