Hydrogel and scalp/skin conductivities impact dose from tumor treating fields.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol

February 2025

Brain Tumor Center & Neuro-Oncology Unit, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA, United States.

Purpose: Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are delivered by transducer arrays applied to scalp or body surface for treatment of multiple malignancies. Dermatologic complications are thought to be related to hydrogel situated between the electrodes and scalp or skin to facilitate electric field penetration. High intensity of TTFields on these surfaces may also be a contributing factor.

Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) is less invasive than surgical closure and yields good results; however, cardiac erosion is a serious complication. It usually occurs within 72 h after implantation and rarely after months to years. Cardiac erosion has been rarely reported using Figulla Flex II (FFII; Occlutech, Schaffhausen, Switzerland).

Background: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) and emergency department thoracotomy (EDT) are effective methods of aortic occlusion (AO) for life-threatening bleeding; however, complete AO can lead to visceral ischemia. Partial REBOA (P-REBOA) has been proposed as an alternative to the completely occlusive REBOA (C-REBOA) to balance hemorrhage control and perfusion. Using the Aortic Occlusion for Resuscitation in Trauma (AORTA) multicenter, observational registry, we tested the hypothesis that P-REBOA resulted in better outcomes compared to EDT and C-REBOA.

Swallowing Evaluation in Post-COVID-19 Patients with Oropharyngeal Dysphagia.

Dysphagia

March 2025

Phoniatric Unit, ORL Department, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura, 35516, Egypt.

Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a prevalent issue in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to determine swallowing abnormalities in post-COVID-19 patients with OD and to determine the potential risk factors of aspiration in patients who have recovered from COVID-19. Screening for OD was done for 310 patients who were discharged from the main university isolation hospital during the study period.

Ultrasound's application in respiratory system monitoring has been constrained by factors such as reflections at the lung-pleural interface and scattering within the lungs. Recent studies have shown that ultrasound from 10 kHz to 750 kHz can penetrate the human thorax during expiration. However, challenges persist in signal reception during inspiration due to low signal amplitude.
