A Comparison Study Between Electrical Muscle Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Transverse placement of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) electrodes across muscle fibers elicits localized contractions, facilitating greater active stretching (AS) of regions containing myofascial trigger points. This EMS + AS approach mimics passive stretching, with EMS providing resistance force similar to that typically applied by a therapist's ...

Preoperative Atrial Fibrillation Does Not Impact Long‐Term Survival and Complications in Left Ventricular Assistance Device Recipients

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In this large multicenter study, AF before LVAD implantation was not associated with increased risks of mortality, bleeding, stroke, or pump thrombosis, but was linked to a higher incidence of late VAs. ABSTRACT Introduction A substantial proportion of patients receiving left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) present with pre‐existing atrial ...

AI‐Assisted Decision‐Making for End‐Stage Organ Failure: Opportunities and Ethical Concerns

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians make better decisions for people with serious organ problems by analyzing medical data to predict outcomes. Patients want AI to support, not replace, personal care from doctors. Collaboration among experts ensures AI tools respect patient values and privacy.

Follow‐Up of Left‐Ventricular Assist Device Patients With Telemonitoring: A National Retrospective Multicentric Study on the Satelia LVAD Web Application

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
We evaluated the usefulness of remote monitoring for advanced heart failure patients using left‐ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in France. A national, retrospective study on a web application (Satelia) at nine locations was conducted. Specialized remote monitoring could facilitate LVAD follow‐ups and improve outcomes.

Inflammatory Cytokines as Early Predictors of Weaning Failure From Extracorporeal Life Support

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Levels of IL‐8 and IL‐6 and their dynamics are reliable early predictors of ECLS weaning failure. ABSTRACT Background Weaning from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory shock still remains a complex decision. Despite considerable advances in ECLS management, reliable biomarkers to predict weaning success are still not available.
