In vitro contact force evaluation of robotic magnetic navigation catheters; Head to head comparison of different catheters and different settings

Background The Stereotaxis Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN) system uses an external magnetic field to navigate catheters inside the heart during arrhythmia ablation. This study compared in vitro maximal contact force (CF) achieved with different irrigated RMN ablation catheters...

Past and present phage therapy research and practice in the Czech Republic – contribution to phage therapy in Europe

Renewed interest in bacteriophage therapy, driven by the global rise of antimicrobial resistance, is accelerating efforts to establish its rational, evidence-based use in clinical practice. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the historical milestones, current status...

Comparative host–graft biomechanics of osteoarticular allografts and allograft–prosthesis composites after distal femoral tumor resection

Abstract Background Distal femoral reconstruction after tumor resection can be performed using osteoarticular allografts (OCH) or allograft–prosthesis composites (APC). Although both techniques restore bone stock, complications such as nonunion, graft fracture, and hardware failu...
