I would like to thank Dayan et al. for their insightful comments [1] on our recently published manuscript [2]. Moreover, Dayan et al. should be congratulated for their own contributions in the field of BAV-associated aortopathy [3, 4]. The above-discussed manuscript does not give definite answer to the question of predictors for proximal aortic dilatation after AVR surgery in BAV patients [2]. ...

homogeneous locally neutral medium,we have two independent current conservation laws: one law applies to the freecharge current i and another one applies to the displacement current i. Note that in a homogeneous medium i is not necessarily negligible, but the application of the current conservation law on i can be done independently of the existence of i because the two laws are independent. In...

We are very pleased with the interest shown in our paper and the recognition of this common clinical problem [1]. The authors provided an in-depth validation and analyses of some of the existing makeshift methods and related suction pressures; however, we did not aim to collect this sort of data in our clinical study. The purpose of our study was to determine the incidence of chest tube cloggin...

TO THE EDITOR: Drs. Lepers and colleagues (1) have written an interesting commentary in response to our recently published paper (2) on aerobic power in octogenarian athletes and healthy untrained age-matched men. Our primary intent was to evaluate aerobic potential at the whole body and myocellular level to gain more insight into the health benefits of lifelong endurance exercise in individual...
