Permanent left ventricular pacing from the great cardiac vein of a patient with artificial tricuspid and mitral valves - A case report

open access: yes, 2000
Transvenous placement of a right ventricular pacemaker lead through the artificial tricuspid valve is a known contraindication, and in this situation, epicardial pacemaker implantation is the procedure of choice. However, permanent pacemaker implantation

Physical activity and exercise participation—Impact on motor and non‐motor outcomes in early‐stage Parkinson disease: A cross‐sectional study

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aerobic exercise is beneficial in managing Parkinson disease (PD), yet its potential remains less clear in early stages. This study investigates the impact of long‐term aerobic exercise habits in individuals with early‐stage PD compared with healthy controls. Design Cross‐sectional study.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Using the Virtual Heart Model to Validate the Mode-Switch Pacemaker Operation

open access: yes, 2010
Artificial pacemakers are one of the most widely-used implantable devices today, with millions implanted worldwide. The main purpose of an artificial pacemaker is to treat bradycardia, or slow heart beats, by pacing the atrium and ventricles at a faster ...

Expanding the Taxonomy of Ethical Issues in Surgical Innovation

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surgical innovation poses significant ethical challenges. Previous work has grouped these challenges under four categories: potential harms to patients; compromised informed consent; unfair allocation of healthcare resources; and conflicts of interest. We argue that recent technological developments in surgery warrant the addition of three new

Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...

The Vestibular Implant Input Interacts with Residual Natural Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2017
ObjectivePatients with bilateral vestibulopathy (BV) can still have residual “natural” function. This might interact with “artificial” vestibular implant input (VI-input). When fluctuating, it could lead to vertigo attacks.

Explorations into development of a neurally regulated cardiac pacemaker

open access: yes, 1995
Although the artificial cardiac pacemaker has contributed to the management of patients with serious arrhythmias, its rate-responsive function is not sufficient to provide physiological regulation of heart rate (HR).
