Choosing Between Left Ventricular Assist Devices and Biventricular Assist Devices

Cardiac Failure Review, 2019
Right ventricular failure following left ventricular assist devices implantation is a serious complication associated with high mortality. In patients with or at high risk of developing right ventricular failure, biventricular support is recommended ...

Significance of myocardial tenascin-C expression in left ventricular remodelling and long-term outcome in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2015
Aim Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has a variety of causes, and no useful approach to predict left ventricular (LV) remodelling and long-term outcome has yet been established.

Wireless In Situ Catalytic Electron Signaling‐Mediated Transcriptomic Reprogramming for Neuron Regeneration via Adaptable Antennas

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wireless‐charging sustained oxygen release from conductive microgels (SOCO) served as an antenna and an on‐demand O2 release for nerve regeneration is developed. Introducing “electromagnetic messenger”, using external alternating magnetic field (AMF) to enhance catalytic oxygen release and electrical stimulation to promote the reconstruction of blood

Effects on the pulmonary hemodynamics and gas exchange with a speed modulated right ventricular assist rotary blood pump: a numerical study

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2018
Rotary blood pumps (RBPs) are the newest generation of ventricular assist devices. Although their continuous flow characteristics have been accepted widely, more and more research has focused on the pulsatile modulation of RBPs in an attempt to provide ...

A Useful Scoring System For Predicting Right Ventricular Assist Device Requirement Among Patients with a Paracorporeal Left Ventricular Assist Device.

International Heart Journal, 2018
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) have become an important therapy for advanced heart failure, however, the prognosis of those who receive a biventricular assist device (BiVAD) is still poor. We enrolled 70 patients who underwent paracorporeal VAD (Nipro-

Depth‐Customizable 3D Electrode Array for Recording Functional Connectivity in the Brain

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a depth‐adjustable, flexible 3D multi‐shank electrode array that produces precise neural recordings at various brain depths is developed. Integrating 2D flexible electrode arrays with a modular supporting board allowed the insertion depth to be easily adjusted without re‐fabrication.

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

Predicting right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implant: A novel approach

ESC Heart Failure
Aims Right ventricular (RV) failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Modern, data‐driven approaches for defining and predicting RVF have been under‐utilized.

Chromosome 3q22.2‐q26.2 Interstitial Deletion in a Patient With Wisconsin Syndrome, Blepharophimosis‐Ptosis‐Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome, Dandy‐Walker Malformation, Pierre Robin Sequence, and Recurrent Infections

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wisconsin syndrome is a very rare genetic condition characterized by coarse facies, prominent nasal tip, bushy high arched/upsweeping eyebrows, and a full/everted lower lip. Deletion of chromosome 3q24q25 region is considered critical for its manifestation.
