Non-contact transmittance photoplethysmographic imaging (PPGI) for long-distance cardiovascular monitoring [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Photoplethysmography (PPG) devices are widely used for monitoring cardiovascular function. However, these devices require skin contact, which restrict their use to at-rest short-term monitoring using single-point measurements. Photoplethysmographic imaging (PPGI) has been recently proposed as a non-contact monitoring alternative by measuring blood ...

Physician-modified aortic cuff to “stabilize” paravisceral aortic thrombus and minimize risk of distal embolization during pararenal aneurysm repair with fenestrated stent graft

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2022
As technology and surgeon experience evolve, endovascular repair of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms is often preferred in appropriately selected patients. However, the presence of pedunculated aortic thrombus represents a relative contraindication for

Lycium‐Barbarum Polysaccharide‐Loaded Dual‐Crosslinked Rigid Hydrogel Enhances Bone Healing in Diabetic Bone Defects by Scavenging Reactive Oxygen Species

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A novel hydrogel (HLBP) incorporating natural polysaccharides from goji berries is developed to enhance diabetic bone defect healing. The hydrogel efficiently scavenges ROS, improves osteogenic differentiation, and promotes in vivo bone regeneration. This strategy offers a biocompatible and localized approach, overcoming the challenges of traditional ...
