Controlled Capture of Magnetic Nanoparticles from Microfluidic Flows by Ferromagnetic Antidot and Dot Nanostructures.

The capture of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is essential in the separation and detection of MNPs for applications such as magnetic biosensing. The sensitivity of magnetic biosensors inherently depends upon the distribution of captured MNPs within the sensing area. We previously demonstrated that the distribution of MNPs captured from evaporating droplets by ferromagnetic antidot nanostructures can be controlled via an external magnetic field.

Use of Intravascular Micro-Axial Left Ventricular Assist Devices as a Bridging Strategy for Cardiogenic Shock: Mid-Term Outcomes.

: Patients in cardiogenic shock (CS) may be successfully bridged using intravascular micro-axial left ventricular assist devices (M-LVADs) for recovery or determination of definitive therapy. : One hundred and seven CS patients implanted with M-LVADs from January 2020 to May 2024 were divided into four groups; group-1: 34 patients (transplant); group-2: 25 patients (LVAD); group-3: 42 patients (postcardiotomy CS (PCCS)); group-4: 6 patients (decision/recovery but excluded from analysis). Multivariable logistic regression and Multivariable Coxregression models identified predictors of early -hospital and late mortality, and Odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with < 0.

Heart Transplantation Outcomes in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in the Era of Mechanical Circulatory Support.

Mechanical circulatory support has emerged as a vital therapeutic modality for patients awaiting heart transplantation (HT). However, it is unknown how it affected the characteristics and post-HT outcomes of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This retrospective cohort study analyzed adult HT recipients from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation registry (1998-2017).
