Soft and Adhesive Cardiac Patch for Electrophysiological and Contraction Measurement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed an epicardial electronic patch with a modulus similar to that of the heart (approximately 65kPa), which can collect stable electrocardiogram signals and myocardial contractility on the surface of a dynamically beating heart. This is attributed to the hydrogen bond interaction formed between the amino and catechol groups in the ...

First Successful Regeneration of a Structurally Native‐Like Colon Using a Bioabsorbable Polymer Sheet

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrated that a bioabsorbable polymer sheet (BAPS) can regenerate approximately half the circumference of the colon with native‐like structure and function in an experimental setting. As the model involved immediate closure after perforation and did not reproduce peritonitis, caution is required when considering clinical applicability ...

Surface mechanomyography and electromyography provide non-invasive indices of inspiratory muscle force and activation in healthy subjects [PDF]

, 2018
The current gold standard assessment of human inspiratory muscle function involves using invasive measures of transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) or crural diaphragm electromyography (oesEMGdi).

Analysis of factors affecting long-term quality of life in children on home mechanical ventilation: a 4-year prospective observational cohort study

Italian Journal of Pediatrics
Background Home mechanical ventilation improves survival of critically ill children but partially affects quality of life. Studies in China have more often analyzed the risk factors for death from prolonged mechanical ventilation in hospitalized children

Rethinking Perioperative Corticosteroids in Esophageal Cancer Surgery: Evidence From an Integrative Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Esophagectomy remains a highly invasive procedure associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. Pulmonary complications, anastomotic leakage, and in‐hospital mortality are of particular concern. Perioperative corticosteroids are often administered to attenuate excessive inflammatory responses; however, the clinical impact in ...

Risks and Benefits of Feeding Enterostomy Creation During Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: A Propensity‐Weighted Analysis Using the Japanese National Clinical Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Feeding enterostomy during MIE was evaluated in 19 054 patients from the Japanese NCD using propensity weighting. Enterostomy was associated with higher reoperation and respiratory complications, but lower delayed gastric emptying and deep vein thrombosis, with no significant difference in overall bowel obstruction.

High-flow Oxygen and Nitric Oxide inhalation versus high-flow oxygen alone to prevent intubation in hypoxaemic Respiratory failure (HONOR): a pilot randomised controlled trial protocol

Pilot and Feasibility Studies
Background When conventional oxygen therapies fail, endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation are the current standard of care in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure. However, invasive mechanical ventilation is associated
