Gas exchange requires the close physical association of ventilated alveoli and perfused pulmonary capillaries. However, in the dead spaces of the respiratory tract, one (or both) of these requirements is absent, and gas exchange does not occur. Anatomic dead space: conduction portion of the respiratory tract (we show the tracheobronchial tree in this image). Functional dead space: aka, alveolar dead space comprises alveoli where gas exchange does not occur (i.e., non-perfused alveoli). Physiologic dead space: includes the anatomical space and functional dead space; this is the total volume of the respiratory tract that does not participate in gas exchange. It can be calculated using the Bohr equation.

Implantation of the new Acurate Prime in a case with rare single left coronary artery (SCA). The Acurate platform offers a high safety profile with a very low rate of coronary obstruction (<0.2%). With an SOV diameter of 28.2 mm and an LCA height of 16 mm, there is no increased risk. Of course, you don't want to take any risks with SCA! The rapid deployment of the latest Acurate generation enables precise positioning, while the new markers simplify alignment for anatomically correct implantation (commissural alignment). The low Stent Frame offers optimal future coronary access. Prof. Dr. Helge Möllmann Christoph Mues PD Dr Christina Grothusen Dr. med. Dagmar Sötemann Priv.-Doz. Dr. med.

This is important stuff! Our research with Ofstead & Associates, Inc. brings up some really interesting points that should be considered about drying scopes. Take a look at this video by Abby Smart summarizing the findings. #sterileprocessing #infectionprevention

Right ventricular reverse remodeling (RVRR) after T-TEER is a biphasic process including early volume unloading (reduction in RVEDV) and later structural reverse remodeling (reduction in RVESV). Feel free to read our 3D echocardiography based study investigating the temporal pattern of RVRR after T-TEER https://lnkd.in/dFJC2n8X Jörg Hausleiter PD Dr. Philipp M. Doldi, M.Sc. Prof. Dr. med.

New article out! 📃 📈 The first mechanical investigation into the layer-dependent properties of the fresh human oesophagus! We also explore the effects of formalin preservation, and discuss the implication of these findings on the understanding of how microstructure affects the macro-mechanical behaviour of soft tissues. The article is Open Access and can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eeiwNGUq
