Journal ArticleDOI
Extracorporeal tissue engineered liver-assist devices
TL;DR: The experience gained from the past and current BAL systems can be used as a basis for improvement of future BAL technology, and the results obtained to date point to a bright future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kambiz Kosari,Maria R. Gomes,David J. Hunter,Donavon J. Hess,Edward W Greeno,Timothy D. Sielaff +5 more
TL;DR: Although RFA has a satisfactory local failure rate and safety profile, the patient population being treated is at high risk of developing new disease andMultimodality adjuvant therapy will be necessary to realize the full potential of hepatic malignancy control with RFA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative virulence of Candida albicans yeast and filamentous forms in orally and intravenously inoculated mice.
TL;DR: Of the three C. albicans strains studied, wild-type CAF2 was most virulent in intravenously inoculated mice and HLC54 (defective in filament formation) was mostvirulent in orally inoculation mice, suggesting that filamentous forms by themselves might not be critically important for C.Albicans virulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Contamination of Surgical Suture Resembles a Biofilm
TL;DR: Bacterial growth was favored on braided vs. monofilament suture, and heparin enhanced bacterial adherence after day one, but not at subsequent times.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that nonoperative delayed management with silver therapy was associated with lower mortality and shorter duration to full enteric feeding, and it is recommended that nonoperatively delayed management be utilized as the primary therapy for the newborn with a giant omphalocele.
