AI‐Assisted Decision‐Making for End‐Stage Organ Failure: Opportunities and Ethical Concerns
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians make better decisions for people with serious organ problems by analyzing medical data to predict outcomes. Patients want AI to support, not replace, personal care from doctors. Collaboration among experts ensures AI tools respect patient values and privacy.

In Vitro Calcification Evaluation of Polycarbonate Urethane—Impact of Production Processes
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.The study shows that hot pressing induces chemical changes in PCU, promoting calcification, while solution‐cast patches remain unaffected. ABSTRACT Background Heart valve diseases remain a leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Polycarbonate urethane (PCU) is a promising material for heart valve prostheses due to its biocompatibility and low

Vasoreactivity as a Measure of Kidney Viability During Ex Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.This study aimed to investigate the influence of warm ischemic injury on renal vascular responsiveness to vasoactive drugs during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). We found that the vascular responses to dopamine and norepinephrine could be used as objective indicators to assess kidney viability during NMP.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.A stable kidney normothermic machine perfusion model with sevoflurane delivery via a vaporizer was established, enabling mechanistic and therapeutic studies of ischemia–reperfusion injury. ABSTRACT Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of donor kidneys provides an opportunity not only for organ preservation but also for therapeutic intervention to ...

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.We evaluated the usefulness of remote monitoring for advanced heart failure patients using left‐ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in France. A national, retrospective study on a web application (Satelia) at nine locations was conducted. Specialized remote monitoring could facilitate LVAD follow‐ups and improve outcomes.

Hydraulic In Vitro Characterization of MR‐Conditional Blood Pumps
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Cardiac surgery in neonates requires close placement of cardiopulmonary bypass machines due to limited blood volume, complicating MR compatibility. This study introduces three MR‐conditional blood pump prototypes. None interfered with MRI imaging, though RF‐related sensor effects remain untested.

Inflammatory Cytokines as Early Predictors of Weaning Failure From Extracorporeal Life Support
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Levels of IL‐8 and IL‐6 and their dynamics are reliable early predictors of ECLS weaning failure. ABSTRACT Background Weaning from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory shock still remains a complex decision. Despite considerable advances in ECLS management, reliable biomarkers to predict weaning success are still not available.
