Article Abstract

Electrophysiology (EP) labs are fundamental in cardiovascular medicine, especially for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Nowadays, continuous advances in technology have led to significant improvements in the design and functioning of EP labs, including the development of more sensitive and accurate sensors and algorithms as well as three- and four-dimensional imaging and guidance systems. However, there are still significant challenges related to the reduction of radiation exposure, space constraints, and the integration and compatibility between the different EP systems. Future advances in technology will lead to equipment and space improvements as well as the addition of advanced communication and collaboration tools, speech-recognition software, and the development of standardized data formats and centralized cloud-based data storage systems. The EP lab of the future will present multifunctional configurations that will integrate all the advances in technology, optimize workflows, and potentiate collaboration while assuring patient data protection.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a condition that results from metabolic disorders. In addition to genetic factors, irregular and high-energy diets may also significantly contribute to its pathogenesis. Dietary habits can profoundly alter the composition of gut microbiota and metabolites.

Background: With the availability of more advanced and effective treatments, life expectancy has improved among patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but this makes communication with their medical oncologist more complex. Some patients struggle to learn about their therapeutic options and to understand and articulate their preferences. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can enhance patient-provider communication, playing a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, quality of life, and outcomes for patients living with MBC.

Conventional gelatin's gel-to-sol transition upon heating restricts its utility in biomedical applications that benefit from a gel state at physiological temperatures such as Pluronic F127 and poly(NIPAAm). Herein, we present "rev-Gelatin", a gelatin engineered with reverse thermo-responsive properties that undergoes a sol-to-gel transition as temperature rises from ambient to body temperature. Inspired by the phase dynamics of common materials like candy and ice cubes, whose surfaces soften or partially melt under warming, facilitating inter-object adhesion- rev-Gelatin leverages this concept to achieve fluidity at room temperature for easy injectability.
