Over the past two years, representatives of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) have collaborated with the x-ray equipment industry through the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) to develop a digital standard for the exchange of x-ray angiographic images. These efforts have resulted in an extension of the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Standard and the selection of recordable CD as the medium for interchange. This report, which is based on an INCIS '94 presentation in Mainz, Germany, is focused on the results of the medium selection. Included is a discussion of the distinction between archiving and interchange of digital image data, an outline of the medium selection criteria, a mapping of recordable CD against these criteria, and a discussion of the future of this medium. Finally, this report contains information about the ongoing ACC-NEMA activities.

Objectives: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is valuable for the detection and monitoring of hypertension. Despite logistical advantages, HBPM has not yet been used in national blood pressure (BP) surveys. We investigated randomly selected adults' willingness to participate in an HBPM study (attitude survey) and piloted this approach (feasibility study).

-cycloalkenes are abundant in bioactive natural products and have been used as powerful tools in chemical biology and drug discovery. However, strategies for the modular synthesis of -cycloalkenes, especially planar-chiral medium-sized ones, with high efficiency and selectivity, still remain elusive. Herein, we report a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [7 + 2] cyclization strategy to address this challenge.

Background: The potential of Islamic crowdfunding to encourage the development of Islamic fintech globally, even in countries with non-Muslim majority populations, needs to be examined in a literature study on this issue. More extensive research is needed regarding the factors that most reliably predict the success of Islamic crowdfunding, such as compliance with Islamic crowdfunding laws, sustainability, and the potential of Islamic finance. This article describes a comprehensive and systematic Literature Review (SLR) regarding papers published in the field of Islamic crowdfunding.

Bacteriological agar plates are commonly used to carry out experiments for the selective growth of microorganisms and the isolation of single-strain colonies. However, the presence of agar itself may be a confounding factor since it may serve as a source of carbon and energy. Moreover, there have been ongoing constraints on the production and sourcing of agar.

Background: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into chemically induced cardiomyocyte-like cells (CiCMs) through small molecules presents a promising cell source for cardiac regeneration and therapeutic development. However, the contaminating non-cardiomyocytes, primarily unconverted fibroblasts, reduce the effectiveness of CiCMs in various applications. This study investigated a metabolic selection approach using lactate to enrich CiCMs by exploiting the unique metabolic capability of cardiomyocytes to utilize lactate as an alternative energy source.
