Practical approach on frail older patients attended for acute heart failure [PDF]
Acute heart failure (AHF) is a multi-organ dysfunction syndrome. In addition to known cardiac dysfunction, non-cardiac comorbidity, frailty and disability are independent risk factors of mortality, morbidity, cognitive and functional decline, and risk of

Double‐Sided Conformable Piezoelectric Force Sensor with Enhanced Performance and Bending Correction
This work addresses the challenge of measuring low forces on soft surfaces. An innovative conformable piezoelectric force sensor is presented. The use of a highly flexible TPU substrate enables a tenfold increase in the sensor's sensitivity to compression while a double‐sided structure prevents the signal from being disturbed by bending due to ...

The Clinical Utility of a Precision Medicine Blood Test Incorporating Age, Sex, and Gene Expression for Evaluating Women with Stable Symptoms Suggestive of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: Analysis from the PRESET Registry. [PDF]
Background: Evaluating women with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains challenging. A blood-based precision medicine test yielding an age/sex/gene expression score (ASGES) has shown clinical validity in the diagnosis of ...
