Diagnostic value of combined heart and lung ultrasound in emergency department patients with dyspnea
Abstract Background Acute dyspnea in emergency departments (ED) requires prompt and accurate diagnosis due to its high mortality and readmission rates. Conventional diagnostic methods are resource‐intensive and time‐consuming. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and time to diagnosis of combined heart and lung ultrasound (HeaLus ...

Abstract Background Weighted blankets are one method to provide deep pressure touch sensations, which are associated with a calming effect on the nervous system. Weighted blankets have been reported to elicit a calming effect during stressful dental encounters and routine prophylactic visits in older adolescents and adults.

Fluid‐Structure Interaction Simulation of Mitral Valve Structures in a Left Ventricle Model
ABSTRACT Simulations of blood flow in patient‐specific models of heart ventricles is a rapidly developing field of research, showing promise to improve future treatment of heart diseases. Fluid‐structure interaction simulation of the mitral valve, with its complex structure including leaflets, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles, provides ...

Mitral valve prolapse in children
Mitral valve prolapse is extremely common in children. It is diagnosed by the presence of a nonejection click with or without an associated murmur. In isolated mitral valve prolapse, the prognosis is excellent, but regular office visits are necessary for cardiac status review and infective endocarditis prophylaxis.

A coupled mitral valve -- left ventricle model with fluid-structure interaction [PDF]
Understanding the interaction between the valves and walls of the heart is important in assessing and subsequently treating heart dysfunction. With advancements in cardiac imaging, nonlinear mechanics and computational techniques, it is now possible to explore the mechanics of valve-heart interactions using anatomically and physiologically realistic ...
