ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.The study developed a PVDF/SiO2 humidity sensor with superhydrophobic properties and integrated the humidity sensor into the intelligent powered air‐purifying respirator (IPAPR) for breath monitoring. Coupled with the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) machine learning prediction algorithm, it enables feedforward control of the fan to achieve respiratory ...

“Inverted Pulmonary Valve,” a Rare Cause of Severe Pulmonary Stenosis
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular ImagingWe describe three cases – two detected prenatally and one postnatally – in which the pulmonary valve exhibited abnormal chord-like attachments to the right ventricle. This produced paradoxical valve motion, characterized by closure in systole and opening

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2008 Background Right-sided infective endocarditis is uncommon. This is primarily seen in patients with intravenous drug use, pacemaker or central venous lines, or congenital heart disease. The vast majority of cases involve the tricuspid valve.

Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 799-808, April 2025.Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We systematically screened eligible literature from three electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, up to April 2023.

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 942-954, April 2025.Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2018 Background Right ventricular (RV) volume overload increases morbidity and mortality after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. Surgical strategies like pulmonary leaflets sparing and tricuspid valve repair at time of primary repair may decrease RV overload.

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 832-838, April 2025.Abstract Aim Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition managed in both primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC)‐based settings. HF patients managed in these two settings may differ in their demography, comorbidities and outcomes, so we aimed to compare the patient management in PC and HC in the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) in Sweden.

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 879-887, April 2025.Abstract Background Unexplained exertional dyspnoea without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides is common. One of the causes might be early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aims This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near‐to‐normal N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT ...

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2019 Background Management of congenital malformations of the pulmonary artery and valve can be challenging. The severity often demands early intervention, which is rarely definitive due to the natural growth and multiple surgeries may be required.
