Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

The Dual Role of Macrophages in MIRI and MI by Immunity and Inflammation: Damage, Repair, Crosstalk, and Therapy

Mediators of Inflammation
The global prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to escalate globally. A substantial proportion of CAD patients develop myocardial ischemic injury or myocardial infarction (MI), while reperfusion therapy paradoxically induces myocardial ...

MAGTWIST: A Magnetically‐Driven Rotary Actuator Using a Traveling‐Wave With Integrated Stiffness Tunability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor presenting as mitral stenosis: case report and literature review

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Primary cardiac neurogenic tumors are rare, accounting for 5%-10% of all malignant soft tissue tumors. Among these, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are particularly uncommon as primary cardiac tumors.

3D printing is a transformative technology in congenital heart disease [PDF]

, 2018
Survival in congenital heart disease has steadily improved since 1938, when Dr. Robert Gross successfully ligated for the first time a patent ductus arteriosus in a 7-year-old child.

Biomaterials‐Based Hydrogel with Superior Bio‐Mimetic Ionic Conductivity and Tissue‐Matching Softness for Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
By mimicking the ion‐accelerating effect of ion channel receptors in neuron membranes, a biomaterials‐based ionic hydrogel (BIH) is developed, which offers a high ionic conductivity of 7.04 S m−1, outperforming conventional chitosan, cellulose, agarose, starch, and gelatin based ionic hydrogels.

Correction to: Exclusive percutaneous peripheral veno-arterial ECMO with distal reperfusion of homolateral limb

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2018
The original article [1] contains an error whereby all authors’ names are mistakenly inverted; this was an error mistakenly carried forward by the production team that handled this article, and thus was not the fault of the authors.

Cardiac surgery in octogenarians [PDF]

, 2010
In Europe and North America, cardiac surgery can be done successfully on octogenarians, but differences in patient selection, surgical and bypass techniques prevent us from concluding similarly in Pakistan. This study investigated the short and long-term
