Rat Model of Right-Sided Cardiac Remodeling and Arrhythmia Using Pulmonary Artery Banding10:39

Rat Model of Right-Sided Cardiac Remodeling and Arrhythmia Using Pulmonary Artery Banding

Right heart failure (RHF) is characterized by right-sided cardiac dilation and hypertrophy, leading to ventricular and atrial malfunction. Cardiopulmonary conditions associated with RHF are accompanied by an increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias. This article describes a standardized model of pulmonary artery banding-induced RHF associated with enhanced ventricular and atrial...

Sound Source Localization Testing in Single-sided Deafness Following Bone Conduction Intervention

We present a protocol to evaluate the impact of bone conduction intervention on sound localization ability in patients with single-sided deafness (SSD). This protocol can be applied to assess the efficacy of bone conduction devices in restoring sound localization abilities and improving the overall quality of life for individuals with...

Tracking Tumor Cell Dissemination from Lung Metastases Using Photoconversion

We present a method for studying tumor cell redissemination from lung metastases involving a surgical protocol for the selective photoconversion of lung metastases, followed by the identification of redisseminated tumor cells in tertiary...

Isolation of Valvular Endothelial Cells11:04

Isolation of Valvular Endothelial Cells

We provide a method for isolating and culturing pure populations of heart valve endothelial cells (VEC). VEC can be isolated from either side of the cusp or leaflet and immediately following, underlying interstitial cell (VIC) isolation is straightforward.
