Management of aortic valve insufficiency in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist device: a republication of the review published in Japanese Journal of Artificial Organs
AbstractSince 2011, implantable ventricular assist devices have been a standard treatment for severe heart failure alongside heart transplantation in Japan. However, the limited availability of donors has led to a prolonged wait for transplants, now averaging 1719  days, intensifying the issue of aortic insufficiency in patients with continuous flow ventricular assist devices. These devices limit the opening of the aortic valve, leading to sustained closure and increased shear stress, which accelerates valve degradation. Risk factors for aortic insufficiency include having a smaller body surface area, being of advanced ag...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2412: Physical Activity Detection for Diabetes Mellitus Patients Using Recurrent Neural Networks
gy Eigner Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a persistent metabolic disorder associated with the hormone insulin. The two main types of DM are type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM). Physical activity plays a crucial role in the therapy of diabetes, benefiting both types of patients. The detection, recognition, and subsequent classification of physical activity based on type and intensity are integral components of DM treatment. The continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) signal provides the blood glucose (BG) level, and the combination of CGMS and heart rate (HR) signals are potential targets for detecting relevant physical activ...

Evaluation of the MMI Symani ® robotic microsurgical system for coronary-bypass anastomoses in a cadaveric porcine model
AbstractThe MMI Symani® is a recently approved robotic microsurgical system for surgical procedures in adults. The system enables the surgeon to create microanastomoses. Clinical applications so far include lymphatic vessels surgery and the creation of special flap plastics. The use of the system in coronary arteries has not yet been assessed. The aim of this preclinical study was to evaluate the applicability of the Symani® surgical system in the creation of coronary anastomoses a cadaveric porcine model. A total of 12 anastomoses were performed by three senior cardiovascular surgeons on the left main coronary artery of...

Cardiogenic shock and chronic kidney disease: Dangerous liaisons
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiogenic shock and CKD are frequent "cross-talking" conditions with limited therapeutic options, resulting in higher rates of death at 1month and 1year. RRT is a strong predictor of death, regardless of preexisting CKD. Multidisciplinary teams involving cardiac and kidney physicians are required to provide integrated care for patients with failure of both organs.PMID:38594150 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2024.01.006 (Source: Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases)
