Article Abstract
Much of the success of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) can be attributed to the second-generation HeartMate II (Thoratec, Pleasanton, CA, USA), which is the most commonly used device to date. The latest generation of LVADs is currently undergoing clinical trials worldwide. Developers have focused on improving the limitations of the second generation with emphasis on enhancing efficiency further, decreasing complications, and increasing ease of implantability. Clinical management of a patient with an LVAD is also an excellent example of the multidisciplinary approach of care that is undoubtedly the future of medicine.

Purpose: Prior studies in fresh embryo transfer IVF cycles have associated elevated serum progesterone level on day of ovulatory trigger, particularly if ≥ 1.5 ng/ml, with decreased pregnancy rates. A similar association has been found in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles using gonadotropins for ovulation induction.

The prevalence of dementia is increasing every year, with one person developing dementia every 3 s. Therefore, this study proposes a novel multi-sensory rehabilitation interactive game system (MRIGS), which uses grip assistive devices combined with different colors and tactile stimulation to achieve multi-sensory training effects of vision, hearing, and touch. This study involved 17 older adults (72.
