Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...

Semantic-aware Temporal Channel-wise Attention for Cardiac Function Assessment [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Cardiac function assessment aims at predicting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) given an echocardiogram video, which requests models to focus on the changes in the left ventricle during the cardiac cycle. How to assess cardiac function accurately and automatically from an echocardiogram video is a valuable topic in intelligent assisted ...

Heart Failure Anticoagulation Teach-Back Education and Readmissions [PDF]
, 2020 : Heart failure affects millions of Americans each year. Treatment of advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular failure is sometimes treated with implantation of a left-ventricular assist device.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Non-intrusive PODI-ROM for patient-specific aortic blood flow in presence of a LVAD device [PDF]
, 2020 Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are used to provide haemodynamic support to patients with critical cardiac failure. Severe complications can occur because of the modifications of the blood flow in the aortic region. In this work, the effect of a continuous flow LVAD device on the aortic flow is investigated by means of a non-intrusive reduced ...

Ventricular Assist Device Therapy [PDF]
Cardiovascular Therapeutics, 2009 Ventricular assist devices are an important therapeutic option for advanced congestive heart failure. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can be implanted as a bridge to transplantation or for the purpose of destination therapy. LVADs improve end‐organ function and reduce morbidity and mortality in appropriately selected patients.

Feasibility of Heart Sound Analysis in Individuals Supported with Left Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are surgically implanted mechanical pumps that improve survival rates for individuals with advanced heart failure. While life-saving, LVAD therapy is also associated with high morbidity, which can be partially attributed to the difficulties in identifying an LVAD complication before an adverse event occurs ...
