In order to experimentally confirm the dependence of the bioelectrical impedance on the flow rate of charged aerosol particles and the composition of bronchial secretions in small airways, the electrical impedance of an aerosol of 0.9% NaCl solution in polyethylene tubes of various diameters was studied. The electrical impedance was also measured in cylindrical chambers of various diameters and volumes filled with a 0.9% NaCl solution or a gelatin solution. The studies were carried out at frequencies of alternating electric current from 20 Hz to 150 kHz. It was shown that the electrical current is not recorded in the absence of a flow of aerosol particles, and the impedance decreases with an increase in the flow velocity. The impedance modulus and the phase angle of the electrical impedance has an expressed dependence on the composition of the conductive medium, the impedance modulus increases in the gelatin solution medium, with a decrease in the diameter of the electric current conductor, and decreases with an increase in the frequency of the probing alternating current. The obtained results confirmed the hypothesis about the influence of the speed of salty aerosol particles flow and the composition of bronchial secretions on the results of measuring electrical impedance.

Microfluidic impedance cytometry (MIC) is a label-free technique that characterizes individual flowing particles/cells based on their interaction with a multifrequency electric field. The technique has been successfully applied in different scenarios including life-science research, diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. The aim of this review is to illustrate the fascinating opportunities enabled by the integration of MIC with other microfluidic tools.

Monitoring fluid intake and output for congestive heart failure (CHF) patients is an essential tool to prevent fluid overload, a principal cause of hospital admissions. Addressing this, bladder volume measurement systems utilizing bioimpedance and electrical impedance tomography have been proposed, with limited exploration of continuous monitoring within a wearable design. Advancing this format, we developed a conductivity digital twin from radiological data, where we performed exhaustive simulations to optimize electrode sensitivity on an individual basis.

This study introduces the development of a highly sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor specifically designed to detect prostate-specific antigen (PSA). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with Au nanoparticles/polyhedral hollow CoCu bimetallic sulfide (CuCoS) was employed as a sensing interface for the fixation of the monoclonal anti-PSA antibody. The nanoarchitectures enhanced the capacity for loading prostate-specific antibodies (Ab) and effectually boosted electrical conductivity leading to enhance the electrochemical signal and greater sensitivity for the detection of PSA.

Background: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are essential for reducing sudden cardiac death in patients at risk of ventricular arrhythmias. The choice of ICD lead - single-coil or dual-coil - can influence device performance and patient outcomes. This meta-analysis evaluates the comparative efficacy and safety of single-coil versus dual-coil ICD leads to inform clinical decision-making.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are biomacromolecules known as cancer and inflammatory markers. Thus, they play a crucial role in early cancer diagnosis, post-treatment recurrence detection, and tumor risk assessment. This paper describes the development of an ultrasensitive and selective imprinted paper-based analytical device (PAD) as impedance sensor for determination of CEA and CRP in serum samples for point-of-care testing (POCT).
