I am thriller to announce that the paper in collaboration with Roberto Rusconi, Valeriano Vinci, Lab Mavilio is finally out! Our paper sheds light on the physical interaction between implant surfaces and biological tissues, trying to understand whether texturization of implant surfaces could lead to chronic inflammation. Our findings suggest that the surface features of the implant may have a greater impact on inflammatory reactions than the material itself. This research marks the beginning of exploring this complex area and highlights the importance of understanding interactions between implants and the immune system.

#ImageOfTheWeek by by Leila Bigdelu and Ossama Maadarani from the Cardiovascular Medicine Division, Vascular Surgery Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. A 40-year-old presented with recurrent episodes of angina over the last year. Based on the echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography, what is your diagnosis? https://lnkd.in/ecHrfGg4 #cardioed #ESCYoung

Knee to the Limit: Challenges and Solutions The Anatomy Unit of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Porto is organizing a course on December 15th and 16th dedicated to meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament pathology. The course, coordinated by Dr. João Lobo, will include theoretical and practical components taught by a Faculty with extensive experience in treating these pathologies. In my lecture, I will advocate the advantages of using the quadriceps graft in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures, my preferred technique in high-performance athletes.

A key factor for generating quality microscopy images lies in tissue processing, for the tissue is the canvas on which the "art" is created 🎨 Here you see a walk through of a perfectly preserved airway bifurcation and it's surrounding alveolar architecture, sourced from a lung after 4h of ex vivo lung perfusion 🔬 #imaging #microscopy #lungtransplantation #EVLP #spatialbiology

Ophthopedia Update:In Vivo Confocal Microscopy Characterization of Candida parapsilosis Keratitis: Abstract: The present clinical case concerns two patients with mycotic keratitis because of Candida parapsilosis in which corneal confocal microscopy presented a characteristic feature of this pathogen. Both described patients used a therapeutic contact lens and administered a therapy with steroid eye drops which are well known predisposing factors for the onset of corneal mycoses. This report can be useful for correctly identifying the pathologic condition and quickly directing the therapy. #Ophthalmology #Eye #Ophthotwitter

👉 “𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐏𝐂𝐈” Jürgen Leick, MD, discusses his publication titled “Optimized patient selection in high-risk protected percutaneous coronary intervention.” This is 1 of 8 articles published in the European Heart Journal Supplement describing best practices in Protected percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In his interview Dr. Leick states that there are no clear recommendations or guidelines identifying high-risk PCI. In order to identify these patients, operators must look at a combination of patient-related criteria, coronary anatomy, and hemodynamic status.

Once again, I would like to bring your attention to a publication concerning ECAPS. This animal model study provides valuable insights into the effects of small movements of neuromodulation electrodes that significantly change ECAP amplitudes. This is the type of independent investigation we love to see here at Threshold NeuroDiagnositics. That's why we make connector cables that allow a universal connection to neuromodulation electrodes. https://lnkd.in/gHi-GPDt #ECAPS, #SCS, #neuromodulation
