The Pauli Exclusion Principle03:06

The Pauli Exclusion Principle

59.6K
The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called its electron configuration. We describe an electron configuration with a symbol that contains three pieces of information:

Surface Appendages of Archaea01:23

Surface Appendages of Archaea

685
Archaeal surface appendages are highly specialized structures essential for environmental adaptation, encompassing roles in adhesion, biofilm formation, and motility. Among these appendages, pili and archaella stand out for their distinct morphologies and functionalities, enabling archaea to thrive in diverse and often extreme environments.Pili: Adhesion and Biofilm FormationPili are filamentous structures assembled from pilin protein subunits, primarily contributing to adhesion and biofilm...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

8.0K
Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Size-Exclusion Chromatography01:08

Size-Exclusion Chromatography

2.0K
In size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), also known as molecular-exclusion or gel-permeation chromatography, molecules are separated based on their sizes. This technique is important for separating large molecules such as polymers and biomolecules. The two classes of micron-sized stationary phases encountered in SEC are silica particles and cross-linked polymer resin beads. Both materials are porous, but their pore sizes vary significantly.
Silica particles offer advantages such as rigidity,...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

1.3K
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Patch Clamp01:18

Patch Clamp

6.6K
Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • The left atrial appendage is a common source of thromboembolism in conditions like atrial fibrillation.
    • Current left atrial appendage occlusion methods carry risks, including bleeding and device-related complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel autologous pericardial patch technique for left atrial appendage occlusion.
    • To evaluate the safety and applicability of this new occlusion method.

    Main Methods:

    • The technique involves closing the left atrial appendage orifice from within the left atrium using a self-donated pericardial patch.
    • The procedure can be performed via sternotomy or right minithoracotomy approaches.
    • This method is suitable for both primary and re-operative surgical cases.

    Main Results:

    • The autologous pericardial patch closure technique demonstrated a low added risk of bleeding.
    • The procedure is adaptable to different surgical approaches (sternotomy, minithoracotomy).
    • The technique is viable for patients requiring repeat cardiac surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Autologous pericardial patch closure is a safe and effective method for left atrial appendage occlusion.
    • This technique offers a versatile alternative for patients undergoing cardiac surgery, including re-operations.
    • The method minimizes bleeding risks associated with other occlusion strategies.
