Advanced Membrane Technology V Conference

(Engineering Conferences International) Membrane technology is increasingly playing an essential role in our life. This ECI membrane conference will showcase the recent advancements of membrane resear...

Bending membranes

It is widely assumed that peripheral membrane proteins induce intracellular membrane curvature by the asymmetric insertion of a protein segment into the lipid bilayer, or by imposing shape by adhesion...

Protecting the peritoneal membrane: factors beyond peritoneal dialysis solutions

The deterioration of the peritoneal membrane during peritoneal dialysis is a serious problem as it leads to technique failure. The factors that have attracted the most attention as culprits in periton...

Membrane remodeling: Where yoga meets cell biology

(NIH/National Institute of General Medical Sciences) Endocytosis lets cells absorb nutrients, import growth factors, prevent infections and accomplish many other vital tasks. This study suggests that,...

Dehydrated Amniotic Membrane Use in Wound Management

The resurgence of interest in the use of amniotic membrane for wound treatment follows improved techniques for preserving the natural membrane. Does science support it? Wounds

A biphasic pulling force acts on transmembrane helices during translocon-mediated membrane integration

Most membrane proteins are co-translationally inserted into the membrane with the aid of Sec-type translocons. Using so-called translation-arrest peptides derived from bacterial and mammalian proteins...

Membrane bending by protein–protein crowding

Membrane deformation is necessary to generate endocytic vesicles, but the molecular mechanisms proposed to drive membrane bending are controversial. Stachowiak and Schmid et al. report that crowding...

[Clinical Picture] Sub-inner limiting membrane haemorrhages

In July, 2005, a 47-year-old man presented to us with impaired vision of his left eye. Fundoscopy examination showed premacular sub-inner limiting membrane haemorrhages () and a glistening light refle...

Surgical Management of Subaortic Stenosis.

A 63-year-old male patient with subaortic stenosis (Pmax 105 mmHg, Pmean 55 mmHg) and an aneurysm of the ascending aorta was referred to our hospital due to progressive angina pectoris. Transesophagea...

Illustration of the echocardiographic diagnosis of subaortic membrane stenosis in adults: surgical and live three-dimensional transoesophageal findings.

We report here two cases of patients admitted in our institution for heart failure. The first had been previously diagnosed with severe aortic valve stenosis and was referred for aortic valve replacem...

Subaortic membrane: correlation of imaging with pathology.

Surgical Outcome of Discrete Subaortic Stenosis in Adults: A Multicenter Study.

BACKGROUND: Discrete subaortic stenosis is notable for its unpredictable hemodynamic progression in childhood and high reoperation rate; however, data about adulthood are scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS:...

Valvular aortic stenosis as a major sequelae in patients with pre-existing subaortic stenosis changing spectrum of outcomes.

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of valvular aortic stenosis requiring surgery in patients with a pre-existing diagnosis of subaortic stenosis.
