Biventricular longitudinal strain as a predictor of functional improvement after D-shant device implantation in patients with heart failure

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundThe creation of an atrial shunt is a novel approach for the management of heart failure (HF), and there is a need for advanced methods for detection of cardiac function response to an interatrial shunt device. Ventricular longitudinal strain is

TBK1‐Associated Primary Lateral Sclerosis Followed by Right Temporal Variant Frontotemporal Dementia

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report a 58‐year‐old woman with a novel splice‐site variant in the TANK‐binding kinase 1 (TBK1:c.993–2A>C p.Ala332TyrfsTer39) who sequentially developed primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) followed by right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia (rtvFTD). Neuroimaging demonstrated right anterior temporal atrophy before cognitive symptoms, and

Mechanical Biomimetic Nanocomposites for Multidimensional Treatment of Arterial Thrombosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Arterial thrombosis is a severe cardiovascular condition associated with high mortality and disability rates. Traditional pharmacological thrombolytic therapies, however, are limited by a narrow therapeutic window, short drug half‐lives, restricted ...

Automatic view classification of contrast and non-contrast echocardiography

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundContrast and non-contrast echocardiography are crucial for cardiovascular diagnoses and treatments. Correct view classification is a foundational step for the analysis of cardiac structure and function. View classification from all sequences of

Assessment of Skin in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis Using High‐Frequency Ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography: A Comparative Study With Histology, Molecular, and Clinical Parameters

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Ultrasound (US) has been proposed as a potential tool for assessing skin fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, a large‐scale comparison of US‐based assessment with histologic markers of skin fibrosis has not been reported. We evaluated US‐based skin assessments for their face validity (differentiation between involved SSc and healthy

Superior prognostic value of right ventricular free wall compared to global longitudinal strain in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectivesBoth right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) and right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) has been demonstrated to predict adverse outcomes in ...

Nonlinear ultrasound imaging of nanoscale acoustic biomolecules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ultrasound imaging is widely used to probe the mechanical structure of tissues and visualize blood flow. However, the ability of ultrasound to observe specific molecular and cellular signals is limited.

Clinical Practice Guideline for Evaluation and Management of Peripheral Nervous System Manifestations in Sjögren's Disease

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disorder that can impact multiple organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system (PNS). PNS manifestations, which can exist concurrently, include mononeuropathies, polyneuropathies, and autonomic nervous system neuropathies. To help patients and providers in the decision‐making process, we developed

EGFR-Targeted Perfluorohexane Nanodroplets for Molecular Ultrasound Imaging

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2022
Perfluorocarbon nanodroplets offer an alternative to gaseous microbubbles as contrast agents for ultrasound imaging. They can be acoustically activated to induce a liquid-to-gas phase transition and provide contrast in ultrasound images. In this study, we demonstrate a new strategy to synthesize antibody-conjugated perfluorohexane nanodroplet (PFHnD-Ab)
