Differences and Commonalities of Electrical Stimulation Paradigms After Central Paralysis and Amputation

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Invasive and non‐invasive functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a well‐established method to partially restore function after paralysis and deliver sensory feedback after amputation. This work summarizes the current state‐of‐the‐art of FES for restoring function, supporting rehabilitation therapy, and assistive devices.

Atria assist device to restore transport function of fibrillating atrium [PDF]

, 2017
Objective: The Maze procedure can restore sinus rhythm in patients suffering from chronic atrial fibrillation but often fails to restore the mechanical function of the atrium, the so-called atrial kick and requires long-term anticoagulation most of the ...

Dorsal Genital Nerve Stimulation as an Adjunctive Therapy to Control Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity After Spinal Cord Injury

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience bladder overactivity, which can cause incontinence. Dorsal genital nerve stimulation (DGNS) can suppress overactivity, providing a longer duration to reach a toilet. People with SCI trialed home‐based DGNS for 8 weeks. DGNS was effective in the laboratory, and participants found home‐based DGNS acceptable.

Biometal muscle to restore atrial transport function in a permanent atrial fibrillation animal model: a potential tool in the treatment of end-stage heart failure [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Half of the patients with end-stage heart failure suffer from persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrial kick (AK) accounts for 10-15% of the ejection fraction.

The Neurophysiological Effects of Cervical Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation With and Without a High Frequency Carrier in Able‐Bodied Adults

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The Neurophysiological Effects of Cervical tSCS With and Without a High Frequency Carrier in Healthy Adults. kHz‐tSCS presents a less efficient waveform. In FCR, spinal inhibition was observed following sham and conv‐tSCS. kHz‐tSCS appeared to prevent FCR spinal inhibition.

Machine Learning‐Based Prediction of Life‐Threatening Complications During Hemodialysis in Hospitalized Patients With Poor General Conditions

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
A machine learning model using predialysis data predicted sudden events during or after hemodialysis with high accuracy (auROC: 0.889). The key predictors included emergency hospitalization, recent surgery, high heart rate, low albumin levels, and high CRP.

A Large, Real‐World Cohort Analysis of Arrhythmia Detection and Therapeutic Interventions in Patients With Insertable Cardiac Monitors and Long‐Term Monitoring

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ICM arrhythmia detection and therapeutic interventions. ABSTRACT Background Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) provide long‐term continuous monitoring for arrhythmia diagnosis and management for various clinical indications. However, little data exists on comprehensive real‐world arrhythmia diagnostic yield and therapy rates in patients indicated for ...

Procedimiento de Enfermería en la implantación de marcapasos transvenoso temporal.

NURE Investigación, 2013
La implantación de marcapasos transvenoso temporal (MPTT) es una técnica que consiste en estimular de forma artificial el corazón cuando los marcapasos naturales no pueden mantener el ritmo y la frecuencia adecuados.
