Computational Modeling Meets 3D Bioprinting: Emerging Synergies in Cardiovascular Disease Modeling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Emerging advances in three‐dimensional bioprinting and computational modeling are reshaping cardiovascular (CV) research by enabling more realistic, patient‐specific tissue platforms. This review surveys cutting‐edge approaches that merge biomimetic CV constructs with computational simulations to overcome the limitations of traditional models, improve ...

A clinical pathway for the management of difficult venous access

BMC Nursing, 2017
Background Many patients are admitted to hospital with non-visible or palpable veins, often resulting in multiple painful attempts at cannulation, anxiety and catheter failure. We developed a difficult intravenous pathway at our institution to reduce the

Use of the Surfacer® Inside-Out® access catheter system to place permanent dialysis access via hemodialysis reliable outflow (HeRO) graft

Annals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and Innovations, 2021
Introduction: Central venous occlusion (CVO) poses a great challenge to maintain dialysis access for end-stage renal disease patients. In patients with exhausted peripheral vascular access from central venous occlusion, currently available solutions such

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC)

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2000
Venepuncture and repeated peripheral venous cannulations are the most frequently performed painful procedures in hospitalized children, resulting in an unpleasant experience for both the child and parents.1 Peripheral cannulae are short lasting, easily dislodged and can be difficult to maintain.

Elastomeric Micro‐Balloons for Remote Control of Cerebral Blood Flow and Real‐Time In vivo Imaging of Rodent Brain Response to Hypoperfusion

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports the fabrication of MRI‐compatible elastomeric micro‐balloons via a multi‐step bubble casting process, where the monolithic elastomeric wall is selectively stiffened for reversible and controlled inflation and elasticity, depending on the target vessels for graded occlusion of cerebral arteries.

Compliance assessment regarding the PVC management on normal wards of a university hospital

GMS Hygiene and Infection Control, 2023
Objective: The risk of peripheral venous catheter (PVC) infections in inpatients is often underestimated, even if it is lower than that for central venous catheters.

Lactate: brain fuel in human traumatic brain injury: a comparison with normal healthy control subjects. [PDF]

, 2015
We evaluated the hypothesis that lactate shuttling helps support the nutritive needs of injured brains. To that end, we utilized dual isotope tracer [6,6-(2)H2]glucose, that is, D2-glucose, and [3-(13)C]lactate techniques involving arm vein tracer ...

A Nano‐Interception Strategy for Chronic Heart Failure: Prussian Blue Nanoparticles Disrupt Fibroblast‐Immune Communication via CCL2 Sequestration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A nano‐interception strategy disrupts pathogenic fibroblast–macrophage crosstalk in chronic heart failure. Scalable Prussian blue nanoparticles selectively sequester CCL2 via ultrahigh‐affinity binding, preventing CCR2+ macrophage recruitment and breaking a key fibro‐inflammatory circuit. This approach demonstrates robust efficacy in murine and porcine
