Removing Homocoupling Defects in Alkoxy/Alkyl‐PBTTT Enhances Polymer:Fullerene Co‐Crystal Formation and Stability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
PBTTT‐OR‐R, a C14‐alkoxy/alkyl‐PBTTT polymer derivative, is of substantial interest for optoelectronics due to its specific fullerene intercalation behavior and enhanced charge‐transfer absorption. Comparing this polymer with (S) and without (O) homocoupling defects reveals that PBTTT‐OR‐R(O) forms stable co‐crystals with PC61BM, while PBTTT‐OR‐R(S ...

Dynamic trajectories of left ventricular ejection fraction in heart failure with improved ejection fraction

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) has been regarded as a new heart failure (HF) type in 2022. However, studies on the impact of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) trajectories on the prognosis of patients with ...

Measuring the force ejecting DNA from phage [PDF]

, 2004
We discuss how a balance can be established between the force acting to eject DNA from viral capsids and the force resisting its entry into a colloidal suspension which mimics the host cell cytoplasm.

Harnessing Outer Space for Improved Electrocaloric Cooling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel radiative heat sink/source‐integrated electrocaloric (R‐iEC) system combines the electrocaloric (EC) effect with a thermally conductive radiative cooler (TCRC) to address heat dissipation limitations in EC devices. Utilizing outer space as a heat sink, the system achieves up to 240 W m−2 of heat dissipation performance, making it highly ...

Current Treatment of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Should We Add Life to the Remaining Years or Add Years to the Remaining Life?

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2013
According to the ejection fraction, patients with heart failure may be divided into two different groups: heart failure with preserved or reduced ejection fraction. In recent years, accumulating studies showed that increased mortality and morbidity rates

Left ventricular function at 24 hours, 14 days and 6 months after acute myocardial infarction [PDF]

, 2017
To determine the natural history of left ventricular function at rest and during exercise and to assess the impact of this variable on subsequent mortality, 165 patients were studied with radionuclide angiography within 24 hours of acute myocardial ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Preoperative ejection fraction as a predictor of survival after coronary artery bypass grafting: comparison with a matched general population

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2010
Background Preoperative left ventricular dysfunction is an established risk factor for early and late mortality after revascularization. This retrospective analysis demonstrates the effects of preoperative ejection fraction on the short-term and long ...

Impact of an interatrial shunt device on survival and heart failure hospitalization in patients with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

, 2019
Aims: Impaired left ventricular diastolic function leading to elevated left atrial pressures, particularly during exertion, is a key driver of symptoms and outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Insertion of an interatrial

The relation between cardiac 123I-mIBG scintigraphy and functional response 1 year after CRT implantation [PDF]

, 2020
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a disease-modifying therapy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Current guidelines ascribe CRT eligibility on three parameters only: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), QRS duration, and New ...
