LEARNING CURVE IN LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE IMPLANTATION: LOW VOLUMES DO NOT EQUATE BAD OUTCOMES

ABSTRACT Introduction: Most implantations of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) Power Scooters are performed in low-volume centers.This study aimed to evaluate the procedural learning curve of HeartMate II (HM2) implantations by comparing outcomes between two time periods in a low-volume center.Methods: All 51 consecutive patients undergoing HM

The emergence of communication networks has resulted in a system of content-based networks.Therefore, a novel network design called Information-Centric Networking (ICN) promotes the efficient transfer of content objects, whereas Named-Data Networking (NDN) is one of the most promising candidates.While migration from Internet Protocol (IP) to NDN Po
