This Sacred Heart Wall Medallion is so beautiful! I have it between my 2 pictures of the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, and it looks so good. I plan on putting prayer intentions on slips of paper into the heart medallion to offer up to Jesus. Thank you House of Joppa!

Her investigations of the chemical and mechanical conditions in both diseased and healthy valves are designed to reveal why structural defects occur and how to develop alternatives to conventional open-heart surgery to repair/replace diseased heart valves. These alternatives include drug therapies and engineered heart valves for patients of different age groups.
The overall focus of Integrative Matrix Mechanics Laboratory is to characterize and eventually manipulate the structure-function-environment relationship of cardiac valves in an integrative fashion (cellular, tissue, organ, and clinical). The matrix composition and material properties of heart valves are believed to be determined by the load patterns imposed during valve function. Consequently, alterations to the normal tissue loading patterns will affect the cellular phenotypic production of extracellular matrix and transform the valve morphology, mechanics, and function.
This research includes using cells, organ cultures, and tissue engineering approaches to investigate valve disease from a more mechanistic angle. The main diseases studied include myxomatous ("floppy") mitral valve disease and secondary remodeling of the heart valves in patients with heart failure, but this research may have implications and applications for other soft tissues. Ultimately the group hopes to use the characterization of normal and pathological mechanisms of valvular remodeling to derive novel surgical and medical therapies that can be used to treat patients earlier in the disease process.
Ongoing projects include: Understanding the extracellular matrix basis for the tissue mechanics of valves and other soft tissues, particularly with respect to proteoglycans; identification, characterization, and mechanical/humoral/pharmaceutical control of valvular glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans; biochemical, proteomic, biomechanical, and echocardiographic quantification of valvular remodeling in clinical congestive heart failure (a secondary valve disease) and myxomatous mitral valves (a primary valve disease); and development of in vitro surrogates (via cell/organ culture and tissue engineering) and bioreactor systems to study disease and remodeling in valves and other soft tissues.
The heroine of our Love Story, this grand silver heart is the ultimate symbol of love. Featuring the familiar curves of our Desire heart, the contemporary design brings together the contrasting effect of polished and textured surfaces in a truly three dimensional piece. Bold, confident, and unequivocally sophisticated, the longer chain and its built-in sliding toggle allows for ultimate style and versatility.
Confident in both its boldly luxurious design and its message of never-ending love, our Love Story multi link bracelet is the perfect celebration of your affection. Style brought to life in rhodium-plated sterling silver, each linking heart follows the distinct contours of our Kit Heath Desire heart, detailed with alternating soft satin finishes and polished surfaces. The grander version of our Love Story multi link braclets, each heart alternates subtly in size to create a contemporary statement bracelet. Crafted in rhodium-plated sterling silver, with a length of 8".
While genetics certainly influence your risk of developing heart disease, a healthy lifestyle can help keep your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels normal and lower your risk for heart disease and heart attack.
A healthy heart is a happy heart, and at Grande City, we strive to keep your heart healthy. With our state-of-the-art echocardiogram, and CASE TMT machine, our cardiologists can also monitor your heart in real time to diagnose and treat heart-related conditions.
Heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) nowadays has become a routine procedure. However, under nonadequate hemodynamic conditions and because of the changes related to ischemia-reperfusion, there is a possibility to provoke oxidative stress with all undesirable consequences. Copper (Cu) is closely related to this stress, taking part in the formation of the hazardous-free radicals. Meanwhile, at least in the pediatric area, little is known about Cu kinetics during cardiac surgery. The purpose of the present work was to study Cu and ceruloplasmin (Cp) dynamics during surgery with CPB in children. Twenty-one patients of both genders from Campo Grande, Brazil with congenital heart conditions were enrolled in the investigation. Blood samples were collected before the surgery and during and 24 h after it. Cu and Cp levels were measured at selected moments and the influence of hemodilution studied. It was concluded that serum Cu dynamics during cardiopulmonary bypass reflects the protective effects of this trace element. Ceruloplasmin levels correlate positively with copper.
Grande-Allen conducts research at the intersection of biology, mechanical engineering and materials engineering. Her investigations analyze heart-valve tissue composition and behavior to pinpoint why, how and where cells interface and respond to disease. The experimental methods involve the testing of valve tissue function, strength and elasticity, growth and abnormalities from nano to macro lengths of scale. Grande-Allen then applies this knowledge of soft-tissue physiology and mechanics to forecast changes in tissue structure and function over the course of a lifetime. Results of her investigations have led to new surgical and medical therapies that can be used to treat patients earlier, have shown new alternatives in drug therapies, and have greatly contributed to the development of novel biomaterials and tissue-engineered materials for heart valves.
