Weathering the storms of climate change: Preparing persons with disabilities and the physiatrists who provide their care for extreme hurricanes

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate‐driven disasters have disproportionate and often devastating consequences on individuals with disabilities. Warming ocean and air temperatures are fueling more extreme tropical cyclones, further endangering those living in at‐risk regions.

Engineering stimuli‐responsive shape‐morphing through high‐resolution 4D printing

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent progress in high‐resolution 4D printing with smart materials and micro/nanoscale techniques. It covers actuation strategies, key applications, and future challenges for scalable, precise shape‐morphing systems. Abstract 4D printing extends conventional additive manufacturing (AM) by enabling dynamic shape‐morphing ...

Transcatheter vs surgical aortic valve replacement for bicuspid aortic valve disease

open access: yesSurgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an acceptable and often preferred alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, the mid‐ and long‐term efficacy of TAVR in patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) remains unclear.

Impact of Frailty in Patients With Continuous‐Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Therapy in End‐Stage Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Frailty significantly impacts clinical outcomes in LVAD recipients. This systematic review and meta‐analysis reveal that frail patients experience higher long‐term mortality but comparable short‐term mortality, hospital stay, and complication rates to non‐frail patients.

Investigating M101's Effect in Improving Cardiac and Diaphragmatic Mechanical and Functional Properties on Wistar Rat

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
M101 Hemoglobin enhances the mechanical and functional properties of rat heart and diaphragm muscles. Treated muscles exhibit improved contraction, reduced fatigue, and maintained function over time, suggesting potential clinical applications of M101 in preventing ischemia–reperfusion injury.

Influence of Preoperative Anatomical Characteristics on the Direction of Inflow Cannula in HeartMate 3

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
The IC direction in HM3 was influenced by the mitral valve height from the LV apex, distance between the LV apex and chest wall, and thoracic depth from the LV apex. Moreover, the IC direction in HM3 had little influence on the flow, PAWP and the survival rate of patients.
