This protocol describes the porcine myocardial infarction (MI) model using a 90 min closed-chest coronary balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), followed by reperfusion. Furthermore, the protocol for several outcome parameters, such as cardiac function, hemodynamics, microvascular resistance, and infarct size, are also presented.

MicroRNAs have significant roles in brain structure and function. Here we describe a method to enforce hippocampal miRNA over-expression using stereotactic injection of an engineered miRNA-expressing lentivirus. This approach can serve as a relatively rapid way to assess the in vivo effects of over-expressed miRNAs in specific brain regions.
FAQs
OASIS applies structured clinical and functional measures at specified points in the episode of care. Comparing information collected across those points helps identify changes in symptoms, health status, and ability to perform activities of daily living. This longitudinal approach produces more consistent evidence of patient progress than relying only on an isolated clinical assessment.
The assessment records patient characteristics, health conditions, symptoms, and functional abilities, including performance of activities of daily living. These domains provide complementary perspectives: clinical information describes the patient’s health needs, while functional information shows how those needs affect everyday performance. Together, they support a broader evaluation of status and change during home health care.
Consistent data collection allows patient findings to be compared across assessments and supports several connected decisions. Clinicians can use the information for individualized care planning, while organizations can apply it to outcome measurement and quality improvement. The same structured findings also contribute to care classification and reimbursement processes, linking clinical documentation with service evaluation.
During a comprehensive assessment, clinicians document the patient’s characteristics, health conditions, symptoms, and ability to perform activities of daily living. They collect this information at specified points in the episode of care, creating a structured record rather than an informal narrative alone. The resulting data can then be used to evaluate status and change over time.
OASIS findings help clinicians identify the patient’s current clinical and functional needs and use those findings to shape an individualized care plan. Information about symptoms, health conditions, and daily activities can clarify areas requiring attention and establish a basis for monitoring change. Repeated assessment data also help determine whether the patient’s status is changing during the episode.
OASIS data support comparison of outcomes across assessments and provide a structured basis for evaluating home health services. Organizations can use the information in quality improvement efforts to examine patterns of patient change, while researchers can analyze the standardized data to study service effectiveness. Its consistent format strengthens evaluation across patients and episodes of care.
