Interference of remote magnetic catheter navigation and ablation with implanted devices for pacing and defibrillation [PDF]

Europace, 2010
Remote magnetic catheter navigation (RMN) may facilitate catheter ablation. However, as the system uses permanent magnets, interference (INF) with devices for pacing [pacemaker (PM)], defibrillation [implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD)], or cardiac resynchronisation [cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)] may occur.

IN4MER Biomaterial Ink: A Phosphorescent Biosensing Biomaterial Ink for Multiple Analytes (Glucose, Lactate, Oxygen) Measurements and Temperature Sensing Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multianalyte, real‐time monitoring of bioprinted scaffolds remains challenging. Phosphorescence‐lifetime–based, optically responsive microparticles are embedded in diverse printable hydrogels (κ‐carrageenan, GelMA, PEGDA) to form biomaterial inks that report oxygen, glucose, lactate, and temperature.
