    摘要: A medical device delivery system including a delivery sheath that includes an internal lumen, and a plurality of delivery arms contained within the internal lumen of the delivery sheath and extending along a longitudinal axis of the internal lumen of the delivery sheath, wherein distal ends of the delivery arms include fasteners configured to engage with a basal structure of a medical device and a apical structure of the medical device, wherein the delivery arms are attached to delivery arm controls that are configured to advance the delivery arms and the medical device attached thereto out from a distal end of the delivery sheath, and removable release wires or release lines configured to engage with the fasteners to hold the basal structure and the apical structure in place at the fasteners. Also disclosed are methods of delivering a medical device to a subject including inserting a distal end of the medical device delivery system through an incision in the skin of subject, and deploying a medical device engaged with the delivery arms of the medical delivery system to within the body of the subject.

    摘要: Devices, systems and methods related to techniques for performing four-chamber segmentation of echocardiograms are disclosed. In one example aspect, a method for generating segmented image data based on an input echocardiogram includes receiving an input echocardiogram that includes information associated with four chambers of a heart, performing segmentation on the information associated with the four chambers using an adversarial model that comprises a first artificial neural network with multiple layers, and combining data from selected layers of the first artificial neural network to generate an output image that includes the segmented four chambers of the heart.

    摘要: A method of altering energy metabolism in a recipient cell including: identifying the recipient cell as being in need of altering its oxidative phosphorylation status, obtaining exogenous mitochondria, and introducing into the recipient cell the exogenously obtained mitochondria, wherein the exogenously obtained mitochondria functions in the recipient cell to increase or decrease oxidative phosphorylation and/or glycolysis. Also disclosed are isolated cells that include an exogenous mitochondria, wherein the cell demonstrates increased energy metabolism compared to a control cell of the same type but wherein the control cell lacks exogenously added mitochondria. Also disclosed are methods of treating a subject suffering from ischemia or a mitochondrial dysfunction including administering one or more group of isolated cells including exogenous mitochondria as disclosed herein to the subject, wherein the one or more isolated cell including exogenous mitochondria improve symptoms of the ischemia or the mitochondrial dysfunction.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically segmenting a heart chamber from medical images of a patient. The system may include one or more hardware processors configured to: obtain image data including at least a representation of the patient's heart; obtain a region of interest from the image data; organize the region of interest into an input vector; apply the input vector through a trained graph; obtain an output vector representing a refined region of interest corresponding to the heart based on the application of the input vector through the trained graph; apply a deformable model on the obtained output vector representing the refined region of interest; and identify a segment of a heart chamber from the application of the deformable model on the obtained output vector.

    摘要: Described is a group of polymeric calcific heart valves with different levels of calcification that can be used for research and development studies related to transcatheter heart valve technologies. Using a heart flow simulator, the valves' function was studied in aortic position in the presence or absence of an implanted transcatheter aortic valve (valve-in-valve). Through multiple experiments based on echocardiography, it was found that these calcific valves can suitably mimic the function of a native calcified stenotic aortic valve and can be used for valve-in-valve studies. Using this novel polymeric calcified valve provides a desired cost-saving solution for testing the performance of new TAVR systems in vitro and in vivo.
