The aortic root consists of the aortic annulus, leaflets, sinuses, and sinotubular junction. It extends from the left ventricle outflow tract to the ascending aorta. Conditions requiring aortic root replacement include aneurysm, dissection, and connective tissue disorders. The Bentall procedure involves replacing the root with a composite graft. The Ross procedure uses the patient's pulmonary valve as an autograft. The reimplantation and remodeling techniques aim to spare the native valve. Long-term outcomes of root replacement are generally good with low rates of reoperation and structural valve deterioration.
Aortic Valve Sparring Root Replacement David vs yacoubDicky A Wartono
The document discusses different techniques for aortic valve-sparing operations, including the remodeling technique developed by Yacoub and the reimplantation technique developed by David. It describes the technical steps for each procedure and compares their early mortality rates and long-term outcomes. While both techniques can successfully preserve native valve function, the reimplantation technique may be preferable to remodeling for certain patient anatomies or pathologies like bicuspid valves, Marfan syndrome, or acute aortic dissection. Intraoperative imaging is important for assessing valve competence after repair.

An agent based approach to virtual powerplants with wind power generation and...Arjun Anil
This document proposes an agent-based approach to creating virtual power plants (VPPs) made up of wind power generators and electric vehicles (EVs). A VPP aggregates these distributed energy resources to sell power. The VPP uses EVs to store excess wind power for later supply to the grid. An optimization scheme determines the day-ahead bid to maximize VPP profits by considering how much power to supply directly from wind and EVs. Experimental results show the VPP achieves higher profits than wind power alone, with profits decreasing as the payment rate to EVs increases. The VPP provides a more reliable power source than intermittent wind power generators.
The document discusses potential issues and solutions for filming at various locations. At Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf stations, the busy environment could pose issues, so cameras would need to be securely mounted and placed in less crowded areas. Heathrow Airport may have privacy concerns for filming individuals, so permission and releases would be required. Filming at the beach in winter could face windy conditions, so styling equipment and extra batteries would need to be brought. Theme parks present risks of equipment damage on rides, so protective gear and restrictions on some rides would need to be considered. For a music studio, booking in advance and confirming equipment availability is important.

Goodbye to print medical journals? Goodbye to print medical journals?MedicineAndDermatology
This document compares the advantages and disadvantages of electronic medical journals compared to print journals. The advantages of electronic journals include instant access from any location, faster searching and access to references. However, electronic journals are less portable, on-screen reading is more tiring, and image quality can be poorer. While electronic formats provide benefits, print journals are still preferred for some uses due to ease of reading in short moments of time away from a computer.

Initial thoughts on live user tests for gamesJohan Hoberg
Live user testing (closed alpha, beta, etc.) serves two main purposes from a testing perspective: providing feedback from real users and finding certain bugs difficult for professional testers to uncover. Certain tests like assessing fun factor, learnability, and balance are well-suited for live users. Live testing also helps uncover bugs triggered by many simultaneous users, intermittent bugs, combinatorial bugs, and interoperability bugs. While live testing provides benefits, it does not replace professional testing - the two should work in tandem to complement each other.
This document discusses how content is increasingly important for marketing and businesses. It notes that stories and providing instant value are more convincing ways to engage attention than mere ads or claims. It recommends that companies create and distribute relevant, consistent stories tailored to a clearly defined audience with a clear purpose, using various forms of media. Metrics for success include lead conversion, social shares, and pageviews. An effective content process involves planning, strategy, distribution, and optimization with clear purposes, goals, metrics and an understanding of audience and market. Keys to success are creating content that is long-term, consistent, unique and understands users.
