Article Synopsis
  • The review highlights the potential of hydrogels in cardiac tissue regeneration, especially after heart attacks, focusing on their design considerations for effective clinical application.
  • Two main hydrogel delivery methods are being studied: direct cardiac injection and using a patch, with their gelation processes affecting how well they work in promoting heart repair.
  • While various hydrogels have shown promise as delivery systems and scaffolds for cardiac regeneration in research, they have not yet been implemented in clinical practice.

Despite the vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) being used in neuroscience, it has recently been highlighted that it has cardioprotective functions. However, many studies related to VNS are not mechanistic in nature. This systematic review aims to focus on the role of VNS in cardioprotective therapy, selective vagus nerve stimulators (sVNS), and their functional capabilities.

Near-death experiences (NDEs) including out-of-body experiences (OBEs) have been fascinating phenomena of perception both for affected persons and for communities in science and medicine. Modern progress in the recording of changing brain functions during the time between clinical death and brain death opened the perspective to address and understand the generation of NDEs in brain states of altered consciousness. Changes of consciousness can experimentally be induced in well-controlled clinical or laboratory settings.

In this brief report, we present preliminary findings from a study of the use of electromyostimulation (EMS) in neurological patients. Assuming the approach to be sufficiently effective, we decided to investigate the motor system of elderly neurological patients before and after a course of Russian currents EMS, which were developed for Soviet athletes and cosmonauts. To this point, 19 patients-EMS ( = 11) and control ( = 8)-have successfully completed the study.
