Repetitive Grasping After Stroke Assisted by Functional Electrical Stimulation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
To understand whether FES can be useful in assisting functional grasping after stroke, the following requirements were investigated: (i) producing sufficient force, (ii) sustaining this force for an adequate duration, (iii) successfully releasing the object, and (iv) monitoring the onset of muscle fatigue during repetitive grasping.

In Vitro Hemocompatibility of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart in Continuous and Pulsatile Flow

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
BiVACOR's total artificial heart generates remarkably similar hemocompatibility when operated with a pulse or during continuous flow. Under both conditions, hemolysis and von Willebrand Factor multimers were similar to a commercial reference device after 6 h in vitro evaluation.

In Vitro Calcification of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: Method Validation by Comparative Heart Valve Calcification Testing

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
We have developed a unique method for pre‐clinical heart valve prostheses evaluation of calcification propensity. Results from the test can directly be translated into improvements of prostheses design, materials, and anti‐calcification treatments, and therefore have a significant impact on heart valve prostheses quality and patient care in the future.

Trial‐Based Hemolysis Modeling to Investigate Operating Modes of Continuous‐Flow LVADs

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This work presents a methodology for determining online‐capable hemolysis models for continuous‐flow LVADs, derived from in vitro trials. The models are based on fitting a modified power law and applying the Lagrangian approach. They assist clinicians in selecting treatment strategies that minimize hemolysis, as demonstrated with the Sputnik1 LVAD ...

Effect of Functional Electrical Stimulation Combined With Physical Exercise on Electron Transport Chain Activity in Peripheral Blood Cells of Stroke Patients

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Stroke induces mitochondrial dysfunction and motor disorders. FES combined with physical exercises can help restore mitochondrial function by regulating the formation of reactive oxygen species and, consequently, contributing to functional recovery. ABSTRACT Background Stroke is commonly accompanied by motor disorders secondary to the initial injury ...
