Article Abstract
There is a growing interest in the potential use of intracardiac fluid dynamic analysis to better understand cardiac mechanics and identify novel imaging biomarkers of cardiovascular disease. Abnormalities of vortex formation and shape may in fact play a critical role in cardiac function, affecting both efficiency and myocardial workload. Recent advances in imaging technologies have significantly improved our ability to analyze these dynamic flow patterns in vivo, offering new insights into both normal and pathological cardiac conditions. This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the available imaging techniques for intracardiac fluid dynamics analysis, highlighting their strengths and limitations. By synthesizing the current knowledge in this evolving field, the paper aims to underscore the importance of advanced fluid dynamic analysis in contemporary cardiology and to identify future directions for research and clinical practice.

Assessment of Diagnostic Value of Post Mortem Tongue Tip Fluids for Disease Detection in Growing Pigs.

Assessing whether post mortem samples can provide value for monitoring during the post-weaning stages is necessary as this methodology can be adopted by the industry when resources are scarce. The objectives of this study are to assess pathogen detection in tongue tip fluids (TTFs), oronasal swabs (ONSs), rectal swabs (RSs), and superficial inguinal lymph nodes (SILNs). Two farms (one wean-to-finish farm and one finishing farm) undergoing a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) outbreak were included, and 30 dead pigs were sampled during each farm visit.

Hygroscopic actuation is an important material function, which enables a broad range of applications such as self-healing devices, soft robotics, and catheter implantation. With the current paradigm of implantable devices shifting toward soft and tissue-mimicking systems, this function however, is particularly weak in soft- and bio-materials due to the rapid loss of intermolecular interactions upon water incorporation. Here, a chitosan-based bio-composite is developed, which sustains the intermolecular repulsive force during water absorption through synergistic effects of hydrogen bonding, plasticization, and nano-confinement.

Impaired left ventricular (LV) systolic function is a risk factor for intraventricular thrombosis and cardioembolism. However, below a given threshold, LV ejection fraction (EF) poorly predicts these events, suggesting the existence of additional sources of variability. We introduce queue models of LV blood transit connecting flow component analysis and residence time (RT) mapping.

Introduction: A risk-based approach to animal selection for sampling enhances pathogen detection by increasing the probability of selecting an animal harboring the pathogen while requiring a smaller sample size. Postmortem tongue fluids (TF) have emerged as a promising risk-based approach, with a PRRSV RNA positivity rate similar to serum, processing fluids, and family oral fluids. Thus, this study assessed the effect of stillborn presence, litter size, and PRRSV RNA detection by RT-qPCR in stillborn TF on the probability of having viremic piglets within the litter.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a powerful diagnostic tool that combines image acquisition with bedside interpretation, enabling physicians to make rapid diagnoses at the bedside (1). Over the last decade, the popularity of POCUS has surged because of its versatility and the immediate insights it provides in clinical decision making (1). However, basic POCUS does not provide important hemodynamic information, such as intracardiac pressures, stroke volume, or valvular regurgitation assessment.
