The Power of Combining Telemetry and Plethysmography
The study of respiratory function and control of breathing is vital for understanding various physiological and pathological conditions. In preclinical research, gaining accurate and reliable data is essential to make meaningful discoveries and develop potential therapies. Combining implantable telemetry with whole body plethysmography offers a powerful approach that provides researchers with an ...

Central Maine Medical Center - Case Study
Central Maine Medical Center is a 250-bed hospital in Lewiston, Maine with a busy electrophysiology (EP) lab. The hospital is a Premier member, a part of the Yankee Alliance purchasing network and has been using reprocessed EP devices for several years. While success with single-use device reprocessing has been limited in the past, today, Central Maine is on track to save hundreds of thousands of ...

Pelvic Autonomic Nerve Mapping Around the Prostate by Intraoperative Electrical Stimulation With Simultaneous Measurement of Intracavernous and Intraurethral Pressure
Purpose: In previous studies we noted that the neurovascular bundle was not identical to the bundle of the cavernous nerve fibers. In this study we sought to prove these anatomical findings electrophysiologically and map the autonomic nerve fibers by intraoperative simultaneous measurement of intracavernous pressure and intraurethral pressure. Materials and Methods: Between January 2004 and May ...

Cutaneous Patches to Monitor Myoelectric Activity of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Postoperative Pediatric Patients
Abstract Purpose: Limited means exist to assess gastrointestinal activity in pediatric patients postoperatively. Recently, myoelectric gastrointestinal activity recorded by cutaneous patches has been shown in adult patients to be predictive of clinical return of gastrointestinal function postoperatively. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the feasibility of this system in ...

Results support feasibility of entirely extracardiac, minimally invasive, temporary pacing system
New results support the feasibility of an entirely extracardiac pacing method in a heterogeneous patient population, using a minimally invasive, parasternal delivery approach, with adequate sensing and thresholds suited for temporary pacing. The study, authored by Anne-Floor BE Quast, Niek EG Beurskens (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and colleagues, was recently published in ...

Comparing phase and electrographic flow mapping for persistent atrial fibrillation
Background: An increasing number of methods are being used to map atrial fibrillation (AF), yet the sensitivity of identifying potential localized AF sources of these novel methods are unclear. Here, we report a comparison of two approaches to map AF based upon (1) electrographic flow mapping and (2) phase mapping in a multicenter registry of patients in whom ablation terminated persistent ...

UCT Silane Cited in Organ-On-Chip
The ventricular myocardium of the human heart is composed of an anisotropic tissue structure that allows for force generation and contraction to pump blood throughout the body. It has long been established that the collagen-rich, fibrous, extracellular matrix environment guides the formation of this laminar tissue architecture. The structural and mechanical properties of the cardiac ...
