Phosphonated polyurethanes that resist calcification.
Cardiovascular implant mineralization involving bioprosthetic materials, such as glutaraldehyde cross linked porcine aortic valves or synthetic materials such as polyurethanes, is an important problem that frequently leads to clinical failure of bioprosthetic heart valves, and complicates long-term experimental artificial heart device implants. Novel, proprietary, calcification resistant polyet...
متن کاملToward antiviral strategies that resist viral escape.
We studied the effect on viral growth of drugs targeting different virus functions using a computer simulation for the intracellular growth of bacteriophage T7. We found that drugs targeting components of negative-feedback loops gain effectiveness against mutant viruses that attenuate the drug-target interaction. The greater inhibition of such mutants than of the wild type suggests a drug desig...
متن کاملGroup representations that resist random sampling
We show that there exists a family of groups Gn and nontrivial irreducible representations ρn such that, for any constant t, the average of ρn over t uniformly random elements g1, . . . , gt ∈ Gn has operator norm 1 with probability approaching 1 as n→∞. More quantitatively, we show that there exist families of finite groups for which Ω(log log |G|) random elements are required to bound the nor...
متن کاملCalcification of polyurethanes implanted subdermally in rats is enhanced by calciphylaxis.
Calcification complicates the use of the polymer polyurethane in cardiovascular implants. To date only costly experimental circulatory animal models have been useful for investigating this disease process. In this paper we report that polyurethane calcification in rat subdermal implants is enhanced by overdosing with a vitamin-D analog. The calcification-prone state, known as calciphylaxis, was...
متن کاملMcEliece and Niederreiter Cryptosystems That Resist Quantum Fourier Sampling Attacks
Quantum computers can break the RSA, El Gamal, and elliptic curve public-key cryptosystems, as they can efficiently factor integers and extract discrete logarithms. This motivates the development of post-quantum cryptosystems: classical cryptosystems that can be implemented with today’s computers, that will remain secure even in the presence of quantum attacks. In this article we show that the ...
