Cardiac unloading via a transvalvular pump prevents arrhythmias following myocardial ischemia / reperfusion by preserving coronary microcirculation and cardiomyocyte nanostructure

Madison Ammon, Pedro Melo, Kacper Nowak, Gerard Nuovo, Alexandre Abizaid, Juan F. Granada, Daniel Burkhoff, Grzegorz L. Kałuża, Alfred Kyrollos, Jerald Curran, Sathya Dev Unudurthi, Rengasayee Veeraraghavan

This study shows that transvalvular unloading reduces arrhythmias after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion by preserving coronary microcirculation and cardiomyocyte nanostructure in a porcine model.

The cow udder is a potential coinfection site for influenza A viruses

Rute Maria Pinto, Colin Sharp, Maia Beeson, Nunticha Pankaew, Jack A. Hassard, Alexander Moxom, Callum Magill, Rebecca A. Ross, Laura Tuck, Stephen Meek, Hui Min Lee, Kirsty Jensen, Inga R. Dry, Pedro Melo, Jiayun Yang, , Paul Digard

The study shows cow mammary gland cells can support replication of multiple IAV strains and are susceptible to co-infection with human and avian IAVs, suggesting the udder may act as a site for viral reassortment.
