Since then, scoring systems have been published to purportedly improve diagnosis in patients with suspected HFpEF. These scoring systems, however, are not always accurate. According to literature, at least 30% of cases are classified as indeterminate[2], which means that a significant number of patients are likely to require additional invasive hemodynamic ...

As technology continues to advance software has become an important part of most products. It has become integrated widely into medical platforms. In 2019, the Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) market was estimated at about $18.4 million, and it is projected to reach $86 million by 2027 at an annual growth rate of 21.9%. As one of the fastest growing sectors in healthcare, we explore when ...
In addition to the pandemic, the digitization of healthcare is rapidly shifting clinical trials from analog to hybrid or fully decentralized clinical trials, catalyzing the development and implementation of digital health technologies to support clinical research. Digital endpoints not only support the decentralization of clinical trials but also provide a means to collect more sensitive, ...
Manufactured vessels were implanted in 20 patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease as above-knee, femoral-to-popliteal arterial bypass conduits. After HAV implantation, all patients were assessed for safety, HAV durability, freedom from conduit infection, and bypass patency for 2 years Results: Twenty HAVs were placed in the ...
The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed the implementation of decentralized clinical trials in neurology, bringing the immense benefits of clinical trials to light. This industry-wide push towards trial decentralization has emerged as a key element for improving clinical trial efficiency and improving the experience for patients and physicians. By utilizing digital technologies, such as wearables, ...
SARS-CoV-2 detected in an area of a single-family dwelling distant from an isolation suite occupied by COVID-19 patient. Assessment of air samples and surface swab samples by rRT-qPCR and cell culture for SARS-CoV-2. ...
Rather than relying solely on subjective clinical assessments or patient self-reported data, we can computationally measure subtle changes in facial characteristics, vocal patterns, language usage, movement, and response time. Through these measurements called digital biomarkers, we can consistently and objectively quantify them and create a clearer and deeper ...

Physiotherapy is a process wherein the professionals known as physiotherapists provide a series of physical therapy to restore or improve a patient's physical health. Now to prescribe a plan to start the treatment, a physical examination or assessment is done to understand the best course of treatment and help keep a track of the progress. ...
In light of the retained HAV function seen in many of the patients at the two year time point, follow up for patients who were still alive was extended to a total of 10 years. This interim follow up report, at the long term time point of five years, assessed patient and conduit status in those who continued routine dialysis with ...
The main value of a posturography exam is the objective information it provides, allowing to assess the patient [3]: Different sensory systems involved in balance (vestibular, visual and somatosensory); Changes of automatic and voluntary motor responses; Postural strategies; Deviations from the center of gravity; Changes of limits of stability. For ...
The specialists provided IO physicians with guidelines to “uniformly collect, analyze, and report outcomes for patients treated with image-guided tumor ablation.” Several recommendations around patient eligibility, the definition of survival time and outcome definitions, complication rates and adverse events, health economics, and data censoring are ...
To address the lack of a standardized approach for the management of LARS, a bowel management program, called BOREAL, was developed and evaluated in this study, aiming to highlight the acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of timely assessment and treatment of LARS. Low anterior resection is a common after sphincter-preserving, rectal cancer surgery and can contribute to ...
Personalized longitudinal monitoring of antibodies could be necessary to assess the immunity duration of vaccinated individuals. Competing Interest Statement Dr. ...

There are 400 million people around the world who are affected by a rare disease, half of whom are children. Often these patients wait years to receive an accurate diagnosis – and many never receive one at all. ...
Nafion is a polymer that can add/remove select materials, including water vapor, to a gas stream through a first order kinetic reaction (a chemical reaction). Because it’s non-porous, other molecules cannot pass through it. This unique property makes it ideal for medical applications such as removing water vapor from breath samples or adding humidity to gas samples for therapeutic ...
