Right ventricular dysfunction after resuscitation predicts poor outcomes in cardiac arrest patients independent of left ventricular function. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
OBJECTIVE: Determination of clinical outcomes following resuscitation from cardiac arrest remains elusive in the immediate post-arrest period. Echocardiographic assessment shortly after resuscitation has largely focused on left ventricular (LV) function.

Vorticity‐Facilitated Platelet Aggregation: a High Expansion‐Ratio Stenotic Microfluidic Platform Unravels the Role of Complex Flow Dynamics in Arterial Thrombosis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Progressive cognitive impairment evolving to dementia parallels parieto-occipital and temporal enlargement in idiopathic chronic hydrocephalus: a retrospective cohort study.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2015
Little is known regarding progressive enlargement of the ventricular system in symptomatic patients or asymptomatic subjects. Before eventual surgical treatment we evaluated the clinical and radiological features of an extremely rare group of patients ...

Immunomodulation With Local, Sustained Delivery of Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide Results in Improved Functional Recovery in Stroke‐Injured Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The tissue and functional benefits are demonstrated with local, sustained delivery of an anti‐inflammatory peptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP), for stroke treatment in a mouse model. Prolonged PACAP treatment modulated astrocyte and microglia toward pro‐reparative phenotypes, enhanced neuroprotection and preservation of ...

Multifunctional Biomedical Devices with Closed‐Loop Systems for Precision Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores two major types of closed‐loop therapeutic systems: self‐sustained and externally triggered. It highlights recent advances in stimuli‐responsive materials, integrated bioelectronics, and data‐driven control strategies, offering insight into emerging strategies for personalized, responsive drug delivery.

β Subunits Control the Effects of Human Kv4.3 Potassium Channel Phosphorylation

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
The transient outward K+ current, Ito, activates early in the cardiac myocyte action potential, to begin repolarization. Human Ito is generated primarily by two Kv4.3 potassium channel α subunit splice variants (Kv4.3L and Kv4.3S) that diverge only by a ...

Material transport in the left ventricle with aortic valve regurgitation

open access: yes, 2018
This experimental in vitro work investigates material transport properties in a model left ventricle in the case of aortic regurgitation, a valvular disease characterized by a leaking aortic valve and consequently double-jet filling within the elastic ...
