Designing the Next Generation of Biomaterials through Nanoengineering
Nanoengineering enables precise control over biomaterial interactions with living systems by tuning surface energy, defects, porosity, and crystallinity. This review highlights how these nanoscale design parameters drive advances in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, bioprinting, biosensing, and bioimaging, while outlining key translational ...

BACKGROUND In patients with significant (moderate and severe) tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the decision to intervene is influenced by right ventricular (RV) size and function. RV remodeling in significant secondary TR has been underexplored.

Tidal variation of pulmonary blood flow and blood volume in piglets during mechanical ventilation during hyper-, normo- and hypovolaemia [PDF]
Effects of changes in blood volume on changes in pulmonary blood flow and pulmonary blood volume during the ventilatory cycle during mechanical ventilation with a positive end-expiratory pressure of 2 cm H2O were determined in six pentobarbital ...

Thermally Actuated Soft Robotics
This review focuses on the recent development of thermally actuated soft robotics, highlighting the four major heating mechanisms, as well as structural designs, thermal management, material innovations, and emerging applications. A summary and outlook section present the current challenges of thermally actuated soft robots and the future directions to

AIMS Prevalent right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (RVD) is associated with increased mortality in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but no study has characterized long-term changes in RV structure and function within ...

Extreme exertion and right ventricular function
The authors propose that disproportionate increases in right and left ventricular afterload during and immediately after extreme exertion account for the apparent differences in ventricular ...

Clinical Utility of Echocardiography in Former Preterm Infants with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia. [PDF]
BackgroundThe clinical utility of echocardiography for the diagnosis of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) in former preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is not established.

Normalisation of left ventricular systolic function after change from VVI pacing to biventricular pacing in a child with congenital complete atrioventricular block, long-QT syndrome, and congenital muscular dystrophy:a 10-year follow-up [PDF]
Development of dilated cardiomyopathy in patients with congenital complete atrioventricular block with or without pacemaker is well described. We report a case of dilated cardiomyopathy in a child with congenital complete atrioventricular block, long-QT ...

Catheter ablation of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia using contact force guidance [PDF]
Outflow tract tachycardias (OTT) originating from the right or left ventricular outflow tract are thought to be benign. However, symptoms can be disabling and deterioration of left ventricular function may occur with a high arrhythmia burden.
