Article Synopsis
- - The text reviews recent advancements in resorbable polymeric biomaterials, focusing on their forms, how they break down in the body, and their uses in various medical fields like tissue engineering and drug delivery.
- - It discusses engineering methods for creating polymeric scaffolds tailored for applications in surgery, cardiology, dental work, and more, while also highlighting the use of medical imaging techniques to evaluate these materials.
- - Finally, the text addresses the legal regulations and challenges faced in turning research into practical, marketable polymer-based medical solutions.
Cardiologists' perspective on termination of pacemaker therapy-an anonymous survey among cardiologists in Germany.
Clin Res Cardiol
September 2024
Research Group Medical Ethics, Faculty of Medicine, Philipps University of Marburg, Baldingerstraße, 35043, Marburg, Germany.
Background: The patient's right to refuse pacemaker therapy is mentioned in the relevant European consensus statement but additional information is only available on deactivation of implantable cardioverter deactivator and not on other cardiac implantable electronic devices such as pacemakers. Therefore, we were interested in opinions, concerns and attitudes of cardiologists, who are the primary contact persons for such requests, since the number of patients asking for withdrawal of pacemaker therapy is likely to increase leaving cardiologists and healthcare professionals with a difficult medical but also ethical problem.
Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was sent to all German cardiology departments (N = 288).
In order to treat and research the development, progression, therapy and prevention of cardiological and psychosomatic disorders and their interactions, the field of psychocardiology has been established in recent years and now offers several treatment options.The well-known somatic risk factors for cardiovascular diseases such as smoking, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and acquired or congenital lipid metabolism disorders, lack of exercise, malnutrition and sleep-related disorders are often related to psychosocial risk factors. Conversely, mental illnesses such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder can also be viewed as independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, panic and public health responses, including self-monitored quarantine and lockdown of the city, have severely impacted mental health and caused depression or anxiety in citizens. Psycho-cardiology indicates that psychological factor plays an important role in coronary heart disease (CHD). COVID-19, depression and CHD can co-exist and deleteriously affect each other, leading to worse progression and prognosis.

August 2024
U.O.C. Cardiologia Valdarno, USL Toscana Sud Est, Montevarchi (AR).
Background: To date delirium prevalence in the adult acute Italian hospital cardiac population is unknown. In a multicenter study, we assessed the prevalence of delirium over a single day among a population of patients admitted to acute cardiac hospital wards in Italy.
Methods: This is a point prevalence study (called "Cardio Delirium Day") which involved 55 Italian cardiologic centers (23 North, 18 Central, 12 South, 2 Sardinia) that collected data on 152 patients older than 65 years hospitalized on March 15, 2023.
