Left ventricular hypertrophy detection and body mass index in essential hypertension

Blood Pressure, 2010
Weight and height are two major determinants of left ventricular mass (LVM); the anthropometric parameter to which LVM should be normalized remains, however, debated. In a population of hypertensives, we compared the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) defined by two indexation criteria of LVM in different subgroups of body mass index (BMI)

3D Printing of Conducting Polymer Hydrogels for Electrostimulation‐Assisted Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights nanosized inherently conducting polymers (ICPs) as promising ink constituents for 3D printing of conducting hydrogel (CH)‐based electrostimulation (ES) devices. ICP‐based ink formulation, 3D printing, and solidification strategies are discussed, along with the application of 3D‐printed ICP‐based CHs as ES platforms for regulating

A Hydro‐Expansive and Degradable Biomaterial Enabling Shape Recovery of Film‐Based Devices in Biofluids

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A chitosan‐based bio‐composite exhibits stable and strong tensile strength during volumetric expansion in body fluids, serving as a functional coating that enables a thin film‐based device to self‐flatten from its tubular shape required for catheter delivery.
