Supermarket trolley sensors could help to identify risk of stroke, say scientists
Study with 2,155 participants at Sainsbury ’s stores leads to atrial fibrillation diagnosis for 39 people unaware they had conditionSupermarket trolleys may be known for their wonky wheels and rusty frames, but researchers say the carts could be used to save lives by helping to identify people at risk of stroke through sensors in their handles.According to the British Heart Foundation, one in 45 people in the UK are living with atrial fibrillation (AF), which causes an abnormal heart rhythm and can increase the risk of stroke.

Cerebral ischemic injury after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with pure aortic regurgitation
J Zhejiang Univ Sci B. 2023 Jun 15;24(6):530-538. doi: 10.1631/jzus.B2200444.ABSTRACTConsidering the surgical risk stratification for patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a reliable alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) (Fan et al., 2020, 2021; Lee et al., 2021). Despite the favorable clinical benefits of TAVR, stroke remains a dreaded perioperative complication (Auffret et al., 2016; Kapadia et al., 2016; Kleiman et al., 2016; Huded et al., 2019). Ischemic overt stroke, identified in 1.4% to 4.3% of patients in TAVR clinical practice, has be...
