Article Abstract
Heart failure (HF) remains a critical global health challenge, necessitating advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This review explores the evolution of imaging technologies and their impact on HF management, focusing on three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE), myocardial strain imaging, and vortex dynamics imaging. Three-dimensional echocardiography enhances traditional echocardiography by providing more accurate assessments of cardiac structures, while myocardial strain imaging offers the early detection of subclinical myocardial dysfunction, crucial in conditions such as chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and ischemic heart disease. Vortex dynamics imaging, a novel technique, provides insights into intracardiac flow patterns, aiding in the evaluation of left ventricular function, valve diseases, and congenital heart anomalies. The integration of these advanced imaging modalities into clinical practice facilitates personalized treatment strategies, enabling the earlier diagnosis and more precise monitoring of disease progression. The ongoing refinement of these imaging techniques holds promise for improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of precision medicine in HF care.

Silicon carbide nanowires (SiC NWs) combine the benefits of bulk SiC materials with the properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials. They are known for their excellent mechanical strength and durability, which are critical for their potential applications in high-stress environments and micro-nano functional systems. Here, the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of 2H-SiC NWs with rare defects in the [0001] orientation are reported.

While knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability in the United States, OA within the patellofemoral joint is understudied compared to the tibiofemoral joint. Mechanical alterations to cartilage may be among the first changes indicative of early OA. MR-based protocols have probed patellar cartilage mechanical function by measuring deformations in response to exercise.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the toxicity of triclosan in the Danio rerio model and mammalian cells, as well as to assess its antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against selected bacterial pathogens.
Methods: Triclosan toxicity was assessed in Danio rerio embryos in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 236: Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) Test. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro using the MTT assay on human dermal fibroblasts (BJ) and rat cardiomyoblasts (H9c2).

Background: Shield-triggered autoinjectors (AIs) aim to reduce needle phobia and accidental needlestick injuries and improve usability. However, they may cause deeper injections due to tissue compression. This study investigates the mechanical response of AI application into abdominal tissue in-vivo.

Plectin is a giant protein of the plakin family that crosslinks the cytoskeleton of mammalian cells. It is expressed in virtually all tissues and its dysfunction is associated with various diseases such as skin blistering. There is evidence that plectin regulates the mechanical integrity of the cytoskeleton in diverse cell and tissue types.
