Aims.To investigate a new method of left atrial appendage occlusion without fluoroscopy.Methods and Results.We performed left atrial appendage occlusion for 14 patients with atrial fibrillation in our hospital.All of the surgeries were completed in a general surgery setting, avoiding fluoroscopy, and in each case, the entire procedure was guided by
Abstract Synthetic Chromosome Rearrangement and Modification by LoxP-mediated Evolution (SCRaMbLE) is a promising tool to Womens Sunshirt study genomic rearrangements.However, the potential of SCRaMbLE to study genomic rearrangements is currently hindered, because a strain containing all 16 synthetic chromosomes is not yet available.Here, we constr
We have investigated the sedimentation phenomenon in a colloidal dispersion composed of spherical ferromagnetic particles using Brownian dynamics simulations.We have attempted to clarify the conditions under which all particles settle down and a thin film is formed, by varying the applied magnetic field, magnetic force between particles, mass densi
Abstract Background The asymmetric segregation of determinants during cell division is a fundamental Supporters mechanism for generating cell fate diversity during development.In Drosophila, neural precursors (neuroblasts) divide in a stem cell-like manner generating a larger apical neuroblast and a smaller basal ganglion mother cell.The cell fate
The burden of deciding the fate of the supernumerary human embryo created in vitro in the context of Assisted Reproductive Technologies rests on the beneficiary couples or individuals who conceived the parental project.The beneficiaries must also take on the responsibility of choosing whether to donate surplus embryos either to others or to scienti
