The Development of Rheumatoid Arthritis‐Specific Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions: Results of a Consensus Process

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) serve as indicators of access, quality, and performance of the health system. This study aimed to determine rheumatoid arthritis (RA)‐specific ACSCs for use in the evaluation of care system access and quality.

Development of Multifunctional Hierarchically Restructured Antibacterial Neural Interfacing Electrodes via Plasma‐Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition of Zinc Oxide Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation implantable neural‐interfacing devices are increasingly constrained by the coupled demands of electrode miniaturization, electrochemical performance, and implantation infection risk. Femtosecond laser–based hierarchical surface restructuring (HSR) technology has emerged as a scalable, manufacturing‐compatible platform for ...

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.

Patient‐Derived 3D Heart‐On‐a‐Chip Model of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Embedded Bead‐Based Mapping of Tissue Contractility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.

Comparison of short- and long-term outcomes between isolated and concomitant tricuspid valve surgery

The Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Background Accurate reflections of long-term outcomes of isolated tricuspid valve surgery are underreported in the literature. Most published cohort studies consisted of patients receiving tricuspid valve surgery concomitant with left-sided procedures ...

Conjugated Porphyrin Polymer With Superior Charge Transfer for Photodynamic‐Immunomodulatory Prevention of CIED Infection in Diabetes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Under NIR irradiation, PTCPP generates ROS to eliminate MRSA biofilms and promote M1 macrophage polarization for phagocytosis. After bacterial clearance, the material is phagocytosed by macrophages, shifting their polarization to M2 phenotype via metabolic reprogramming, which synergistically enhances anti‐infection therapy and wound healing.
