The role of psychological support in cardiac surgery: initial experience

Clinics and Practice, 2011
The scientific literature has pointed out several predictors of negative outcome after surgery such as pain and depression, negatively affecting the postoperative outcome in cardiac surgery.

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Raman Microscopy at the Organic–Inorganic Interfaces in Human Calcified Aortic Valves Shows the Co‐Existence of Whitlockite Crystals and Carbonated Hydroxyapatite‐Mineralized Collagen Fibrils

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study advances our understanding of aortic valve stenosis by capturing spatially resolved chemical and structural changes at the nanoscale. The findings highlight the potential of combined Raman and electron microscopy for understanding calcification mechanisms across diverse tissue types.

Controlling 3D Contractility via Engineered Fibrous Hydrogel Composites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tunable composite contractile assembly (CCA) is developed that can permit or resist contraction without changing cell‐adhesion and density, unlike collagen whose inherent coupling of these ECM cues limits its use as a platform in contractility studies.

The Dual Role of Macrophages in MIRI and MI by Immunity and Inflammation: Damage, Repair, Crosstalk, and Therapy

Mediators of Inflammation
The global prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to escalate globally. A substantial proportion of CAD patients develop myocardial ischemic injury or myocardial infarction (MI), while reperfusion therapy paradoxically induces myocardial ...

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor presenting as mitral stenosis: case report and literature review

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Primary cardiac neurogenic tumors are rare, accounting for 5%-10% of all malignant soft tissue tumors. Among these, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are particularly uncommon as primary cardiac tumors.

MAGTWIST: A Magnetically‐Driven Rotary Actuator Using a Traveling‐Wave With Integrated Stiffness Tunability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

Correction to: Exclusive percutaneous peripheral veno-arterial ECMO with distal reperfusion of homolateral limb

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2018
The original article [1] contains an error whereby all authors’ names are mistakenly inverted; this was an error mistakenly carried forward by the production team that handled this article, and thus was not the fault of the authors.
