Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yesLibyan Journal of Medicine, 2007
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (transient left ventricular apical ballooning) is a reversible form of cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology. Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is typically precipitated by sudden emotional or physical stress, and is associated with ...

Stroke‐Heart Syndrome: Mechanisms, Temporal Phenotypes, and Diagnostic Reasoning

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Stroke‐heart syndrome describes new or worsened cardiac abnormalities after acute stroke. This Review defines its clinical boundaries, traces autonomic, inflammatory, endothelial, and supply‐demand mechanisms across time, and proposes provisional phenotypes that integrate lesion location, premorbid cardiac substrate, serial biomarkers ...

Development of an Inchworm‐Like Dual‐Balloon‐Assisted Colonoscopic Robot Based on a Two‐Segment Extensible Continuum Section

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents an inchworm‐like dual‐balloon‐assisted colonoscopic robot (IDCR) based on a rod‐driven two‐segment continuum section. The IDCR enables the active straightening of the sigmoid colon through an inchworm‐like locomotion strategy, thereby avoiding loop formation.

Crease‐Encoded Soft Origami Chambers: A Unified Design‐to‐Fabrication Framework for Low‐Pressure Pneumatic Joints

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Origami turns a single silicone chamber into three different soft fluidic actuators. Crease angles alone decide whether it elongates, bends, or twists, and the fully folded chambers are cast monolithically in one day. Below 15 kPa, they reach 268% axial stretch, 72° bending, and 55° twist—no strain‐limiting layers, no rigid reinforcements, no vacuum ...
