Characterization of bone remodeling of two different porous types of ?-tricalcium phosphates: a quantitative site-by-site analysis using computed tomography
This study compared the process of bone remodeling using spherical porous?-tricalcium phosphate (SPTCP) and unidirectional porous?-tricalcium phosphate (UDPTCP) by quantitative computed tomography (CT) analysis. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 16 patients (4 men, 12 women; age, 43 –78 years) who underwent medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) and were followed up for 1 year postoperatively. Nine patients used SPTCP spacers and seven patients used UDPTCP spacers. CT was performed at 1 week, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. CT attenuation values were m easured at three sites on the axial slice and ...

Characterization of bone remodeling of two different porous types of β-tricalcium phosphates: a quantitative site-by-site analysis using computed tomography
This study compared the process of bone remodeling using spherical porousβ-tricalcium phosphate (SPTCP) and unidirectional porousβ-tricalcium phosphate (UDPTCP) by quantitative computed tomography (CT) analysis. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 16 patients (4 men, 12 women; age, 43 –78 years) who underwent medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) and were followed up for 1 year postoperatively. Nine patients used SPTCP spacers and seven patients used UDPTCP spacers. CT was performed at 1 week, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. CT attenuation values were m easured at three sites on the axial s...

Performance of the Jarvik 2000 left ventricular assist device on mid-term hemodynamics and exercise capacity
AbstractThe hemodynamic and exercise capacity performance of the Jarvik 2000 left ventricular assist device (LVAD), which is generally used in patients with small body size and relatively preserved cardiac function, is not well understood. We retrospectively examined 18 patients implanted with the Jarvik 2000 LVAD. Pump rotation speed was optimized by the hemodynamic ramp test one year after implantation based on the criteria of mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP)  <  18 mmHg, mean right atrial pressure (RAP) <  12 mmHg, and cardiac index (CI) >  2.2 L/min/m2 as well as echocardiographic p...
