Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The DA/VTP‐NBs selectively recognized cardiac ECs damaged by DIC and achieved cell‐level targeted imaging. Then US‐triggered controlled release successfully enabled the release of DAPA within the DA/VTP‐NBs at the site of injury. This precise on‐demand drug release approach amplifies a series of localized therapeutic effects through the mtDNA‐mediated ...

Controllable Dynamic Mechanical Cell Stimulation using Magnetically Actuated Artificial Cilia
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This paper introduces a platform based on magnetic artificial cilia for providing controllable dynamic mechanical stimulation to single cells, suitable for investigating large cell populations and enabling live cell imaging. Proof‐of‐principle experiments show that cell morphology is strongly influenced by the artificial cilia, that cellular forces can

Increased baseline ECG R-R dispersion predicts improvement in systolic function after atrial fibrillation ablation. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction which may improve after AF ablation. We hypothesised that increased ventricular irregularity, as measured by R-R dispersion on the baseline ECG, would ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

BASE DEFICIT IN IMMEDIATE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD OF OPEN HEART SURGERY AND OUTCOME OF PATIENTS [PDF]
, 2007 - Base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status. Aim of this study is to assess relationship between the base deficit value in immediate post operative period of CABG and valvular heart disease with cardiopulmonary and in hospital ...

Impact of ischemic and valvular heart disease on atrial excitation [PDF]
, 2018 Background--The influence of underlying heart disease or presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) on atrial excitation during sinus rhythm (SR) is unknown. We investigated atrial activation patterns and total activation times of the entire atrial epicardial ...
