Purpose Tricuspid valve chordae tendineae rupture is a valvular lesion that is often overlooked, though is postulated to be more prevalent than currently known. We examined the hemodynamics and biomechanical response of the tricuspid valve leaflets following chordae rupture to understand how acute changes in the post-rupture mechanical environment may contribute to long-term remodeling responses. Methods Porcine valve leaflet...

Phosphorus (P) fertilizers are essential but potentially inefficient, especially in shallowrooted potatoes. A 3-year field experiment (2016-2018) was conducted in four distinct sites in Eastern Canada to investigate economic and environmental impacts of struvite-based slow-release and conventional P fertilizers in potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.). Marginal return (MR = gross revenue-total operating cost) was assessed for differe...
