Background: Right ventricular (RV) failure after heart transplantation (HT) is common in those with pretransplantation elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Mechanical circulatory support has been used as a bridge to recovery, with mixed outcomes. We describe a patient with failed single-ventricle palliation in whom severe RV failure developed after HT.

The proximity extension assay (PEA) enables large-scale proteomic investigations across numerous proteins and samples. However, discrepancies between measurements, known as batch-effects, potentially skew downstream statistical analyses and increase the risks of false discoveries. While implementing bridging controls (BCs) on each plate has been proposed to mitigate these effects, a clear method for utilizing this strategy remains elusive.

Background: A walking support orthosis known as the e-foot®, a rubber orthotic worn from the hip to the forefoot to enhance joint flexibility and movement, has been developed to assist elderly people and individuals with walking impairments. Despite its widespread acceptance and positive reception in some care settings, the precise impact of this device on gait dynamics remains unexplored. This study aims to bridge this gap by comparing the walking speeds of healthy volunteers using the e-foot® against their normal walking speeds.

SPARE-AD was a previously developed machine learning index known to be sensitive to AD-like brain atrophy. However, the relationship between genetic variants, physical activity patterns and AD-related neuroimaging features have yet been extensively studied due to the lack of appropriate data and statistical methods for handling complex multimodal data.

Background: Digital health research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) points to automated speech and language analysis (ASLA) as a globally scalable approach for diagnosis and monitoring. However, most studies target uninterpretable features in Anglophone samples, casting doubts on the approach's clinical utility and cross-linguistic validity. The present study was designed to tackle both issues.
