Low‐field MRI: Clinical promise and challenges
Modern MRI scanners have trended toward higher field strengths to maximize signal and resolution while minimizing scan time. However, high‐field devices remain expensive to install and operate, making them scarce outside of high‐income countries and major population centers.

In this manuscript, we developed a stretchable, three‐lead electrocardiography (ECG) device based on self‐developed organohydrogel patches with strong adhesion and high conductivity for continuously monitoring human ECG signals. A safety warning system based on a mechanical vibration actuator is built up inside the ECG device as an indicator of the ...

The Total Artificial Heart and the Dilemma of Deactivation [PDF]
It is widely believed to be permissible for a physician to discontinue any treatment upon the request of a competent patient. Many also believe it is never permissible for a physician to intentionally kill a patient.

The relation between cardiac 123I-mIBG scintigraphy and functional response 1 year after CRT implantation [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a disease-modifying therapy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Current guidelines ascribe CRT eligibility on three parameters only: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), QRS duration, and New ...

Impact of chronic fetal hypoxia and inflammation on cardiac pacemaker cell development [PDF]
Chronic fetal hypoxia and infection are examples of adverse conditions during complicated pregnancy, which impact cardiac myogenesis and increase the lifetime risk of heart disease. However, the effects that chronic hypoxic or inflammatory environments exert on cardiac pacemaker cells are poorly understood.

Robust neuromorphic coupled oscillators for adaptive pacemakers [PDF]
Neural coupled oscillators are a useful building block in numerous models and applications. They were analyzed extensively in theoretical studies and more recently, in biologically realistic simulations of spiking neural networks. The advent of mixed-signal analog/digital neuromorphic electronic circuits provides new means for implementing neural ...
