2019 EACTS Expert Consensus on long-term mechanical circulatory support

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2019
Long-term mechanical circulatory support (LT-MCS) is an important treatment modality for patients with severe heart failure. Different devices are available, and many—sometimes contradictory—observations regarding patient selection, surgical techniques ...

Outcomes of mechanical circulatory support for acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions, 2021
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with the Impella device (Abiomed, Danvers, MA) has been associated with higher in‐hospital mortality than intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) in the Premier Healthcare Database and National Cardiovascular Data Registry.

DELP Treatment on Vision and Retinal Microcirculation in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: Report of Five Cases and Literature Review

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Accuracy of the HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device Flow Estimation

Scientific Reports
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), such as the HeartMate 3 (HM3), are a treatment option for advanced heart failure (HF). Non-invasive monitoring of heart-pump interaction is crucial but relies on estimated parameters only.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Impact of adjustable resistance clamps on the in-vitro hemolysis assessment of blood pumps

Scientific Reports
Adjustable resistance clamps are essential to regulate flow and pressure in in-vitro test loops designed to evaluate hemolysis in blood pumps. However, their contribution to overall hemolysis remains unclear.
