Preclinical Serial Assessment of Virtual Physiology After Implantation of a Novel Endoluminal Resorbable Fibrillated Scaffold

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The resorbable fibrillated scaffold (RFS) is a novel electrospun, polylactide‐based endoluminal scaffold developed for peripheral arterial applications. Its porous microfibre architecture is intended to support host cell infiltration and vascular restoration.

Acute management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction in a tertiary hospital in Kenya: Are we complying with practice guidelines?

African Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2014
Current practice guidelines emphasize the importance of rapid reperfusion of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the current rate of compliance with evidence-based practice guidelines for the ...

Calcified Plaque Detachment: Alternative Calcified Plaque Modification After Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Calcified plaque (CP) detachment (CD) and calcium fracture (CF) can occur following coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The extent to which CF alone facilitates stent expansion during CP modification with IVL remains unclear. Aims This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of IVL‐induced CD.

Bioinspired Flexible and Stretchable Coil Structure from Ti3C2Tx MXene/AgNPs‐Functionalized Piezoelectric Nanofibers for Enhanced Energy Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Ti3C2Tx MXene and Ag nanoparticles are embedded into piezoelectric nanofibers to form a stretchable, self‐powered coil that converts mechanical deformation into electrical energy. The device enables controllable power output during stretching and release while maintaining a compact and lightweight architecture, making it suitable for miniaturized ...

A guide to neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromodulation is approved for the treatment of drug‐resistant epilepsy. It has been increasingly utilized over the past two decades with the approval of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in addition to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—particularly in patients who are not deemed to be good resective surgical ...

Seismic Performance and Vibration‐Based Damage Identification of Two‐Storey Balloon‐Framed CLT Shear Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While cross‐laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly utilized in lateral force‐resisting systems in mass timber construction, research has predominantly focused on platform‐type construction. Balloon‐type CLT shear wall systems offer distinct structural advantages, notably the elimination of cumulative perpendicular‐to‐grain compression and a ...

“Thinking Out Loud” and “Pivoting on the Fly”—An Empirical Review and Critical Incident Study of How Physicians Engage in Incidental Learning Amidst Complexity

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores incidental learning among physicians navigating uncertainty during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Using a constructivist research design, we conducted a literature review of 13 empirical studies on incidental learning in complexity and analyzed critical incident interviews with 12 emergency medicine and intensive care physicians ...
