Kuneman JH, Singh GK, Hansson NC, Fusini L, Poulsen SH, Fortuni F, Vollema EM, Pedersen ALD, Annoni AD, Nørgaard BL, Pontone G, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Knuuti J
Hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) of transcatheter aortic valves is detected on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and reflects leaflet thrombosis. Whether HALT affects left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling, a favorable effect of LV afterload reduction after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the association of HALT after TAVI with LV reverse remodeling. In this multicenter case-control study, patients with HALT on MDC...

Ventricular Septation and Outflow Tract Development in Crocodilians Result in Two Aortas with Bicuspid Semilunar Valves.
Poelmann RE, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Goerdajal C, Grewal N, De Bakker MAG, Richardson MK
Background: The outflow tract of crocodilians resembles that of birds and mammals as ventricular septation is complete. The arterial anatomy, however, presents with a pulmonary trunk originating from the right ventricular cavum, and two aortas originating from either the right or left ventricular cavity. Mixing of blood in crocodilians cannot occur at the ventricular level as in other reptiles but instead takes place at the aortic root level by a shunt, the foramen of Panizza, the opening of whi...

Machine Learning-Assisted Hybrid ReaxFF Simulations.
Yilmaz DE, Woodward WH, van Duin ACT
We have developed a machine learning (ML)-assisted Hybrid ReaxFF simulation method ("Hybrid/Reax"), which alternates reactive and non-reactive molecular dynamics simulations with the assistance of ML models to simulate phenomena that require longer time scales and/or larger systems than are typically accessible to ReaxFF. Hybrid/Reax uses a specialized tracking tool during the reactive simulations to further accelerate chemical reactions. Non-reactive simulations are used to equilibrat...
