Abstract Organic photovoltaics show great potential for wireless bioelectronics, offering the ability to convert visible‐to‐near‐infrared light into electrical energy. This study investigates stability and biocompatibility of PM6:Y6 bulk heterojunction layers, chosen their efficient charge separation absorption profile compatible with optical transparency skin tissue, under simulated physiological conditions. Biocompatibility is validated using chicken chorioallantoic membrane cytotoxicity...

Background: Surgical interventions can cause severe fluid imbalances in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, affecting length of hospital stay and survival. Therefore, appropriate management daily goals is a key element postoperative intensive care these patients. Because balance influenced by complex interplay patient-, surgery- unit (ICU)-specific factors, prediction difficult often inaccurate. Methods: A novel system theory based digital model for cumulative (CFB) presented using recorded...
Abstract Capacitive extracellular stimulation is a common method in implanted electrodes. The basis for investigating the transmission of stimuli from an electrode to adhered cells are vitro experiments using calcium imaging or patch clamp measurements. Computational spatial models used simulate mechanism signal at cell-electrode interface but require high computing power. In this work, Stern model characterize electrochemical double-layer (EDL) formation and modified two-domain combined...

Abstract Fluid flow in the human body can be modeled using a water-level tank, commonly used mechanistic approach mechanical engineering for fluid transport processes. Postoperative data from patients undergoing cardiac surgery is to estimate dynamics and total water body. This simplified model provide basic understanding of processes could aid modeling distribution fluids compartments.
Abstract In this study, we employed calcium imaging to investigate the dynamics of intracellular levels in embryonic chicken cardiomyocytes upon extracellular, optoelectronic stimulation. A photovoltaic layer donoracceptor pigments on a flexible PET substrate was used as wireless stimulation electrode.
