Bioprinted optoelectronically active cardiac tissues.
Sci Adv

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA.
Electrical stimulation of existing three-dimensional bioprinted tissues to alter tissue activities is typically associated with wired delivery, invasive electrode placement, and potential cell damage, minimizing its efficacy in cardiac modulation. Here, we report an optoelectronically active scaffold based on printed gelatin methacryloyl embedded with micro-solar cells, seeded with cardiomyocytes to form light-stimulable tissues. This enables untethered, noninvasive, and damage-free optoelectronic stimulation-induced modulation of cardiac beating behaviors without needing wires or genetic modifications to the tissue solely with light.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) represents a major birth defect associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Although environmental factors are acknowledged as potential contributors to CHD, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine disruptor, has attracted significant attention due to its widespread use and associated health risks.

Echocardiography
January 2025
Cardiology Department, Unidade Local de Saúde do Alto Ave, Guimarães, Portugal.
Purpose: This study explores the effects of anthracycline chemotherapy (AC) on breast cancer patients, focusing on changes in body composition, advanced echocardiographic parameters at rest and during exercise, and biomarkers; and subsequently assesses whether these parameters are associated with impaired cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).
Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated women with early-stage breast cancer undergoing AC at three visits: before AC, 1 month after, and 6 months post-AC.
Results: The study included 32 women with breast cancer, with functional disability increasing from 9.
A Comprehensive Review of Phenolic Compounds in Chia Seeds and Their Applications in the Food Industry.

Department of Food Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, 53706, USA.
Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) have emerged as a significant focus in the food industry due to their rich nutritional profile and health-promoting attributes. They are a major powerhouse of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and tocopherols that have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cholesterol functions, enhance cognitive performance, and improve heart health.

Clin Nucl Med
January 2025
From the Department of Nuclear Medicine.
We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with recurrence of type B3 thymoma in which the diagnostic accuracy has benefited considerably from the additional use of [68Ga]FAPI PET/CT when compared with the standard [18F]FDG PET. [68Ga]FAPI PET/CT confirmed the known lesions with higher lesion-to-background ratio and additionally identified a previously undetected lesion near the FDG-avid apex of the heart. This case demonstrates a potential superiority of [68Ga]FAPI PET/CT in patients suffering from thymoma as detection of local recurrence close to metabolically active organs (ie, liver, heart) is improved.
