Echo-E$^3$Net: Efficient Endo-Epi Spatio-Temporal Network for Ejection Fraction Estimation [PDF]
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a critical metric for assessing cardiac function, widely used in diagnosing heart failure and guiding clinical decisions. Despite its importance, conventional LVEF estimation remains time-consuming and operator-dependent.

Regulating Airflow Using Hybrid LCN for Soft Pneumatic Circuits
To address more autonomous soft robots with embodied control and regulation systems, herein, a liquid crystal network‐based fluid regulator that can be manipulated through multiphysical stimuli is proposed. Aided by finite element modeling for thermal actuation, regulators are designed and incorporated into fluidic circuits and demonstrate that they ...

A remote hypertension management program clinical algorithm
Abstract Introduction Hypertension is the leading risk factor for death, affecting over one billion people worldwide, yet control rates are poor and stagnant. We developed a remote hypertension management program that leverages digitally transmitted home blood pressure (BP) measurements, algorithmic care pathways, and patient–navigator communications ...

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients may have cardiac remodeling and dysfunction from the early stage of disease. This study aimed to determine the association between cystatin C (CysC) and early cardiac functional or structural impairment in T2DM patients without renal dysfunction.
