Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has numerous desirable properties for fabricating microfluidic devices, including optical transparency, flexibility, biocompatibility, and fabrication by casting; however, partitioning of small hydrophobic molecules into the bulk PDMS hinders industrial acceptance devices chemical processing drug development applications. Here we describe an attractive alternative material that is similar to in terms flexibility castability, but also resistant absorption molecules.
The COVID-19-related pandemic has resulted in profound health, financial, and societal impacts. Organized sporting events, from recreational to the Olympic level, have been cancelled both mitigate spread of COVID-19 protect athletes highly active individuals potential acute long-term infection-associated harms. infection associated with increased cardiac morbidity mortality. Myocarditis late gadolinium enhancement as a result confirmed. Correspondingly, myocarditis implicated sudden death...
Underlying coronary artery disease (CAD) is the primary cause of sudden cardiac death in masters athletes (>35 years). Preparticipation screening may detect cardiovascular disease; however, optimal method undefined this population. The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone (PAR-Q+) and American Heart Association (AHA) Screening are often currently used; a more comprehensive risk assessment be required. We sought to ascertain assess effectiveness tools athletes.This...
BackgroundThe Hearts in Rhythm Organization (HiRO) is a team of Canadian inherited heart rhythm and cardiomyopathy experts, genetic counsellors, nurses, researchers, patients, families dedicated to the detection arrhythmias cardiomyopathies, provision best therapies, protection from tragedy sudden cardiac arrest.MethodsRecently, existing disease-specific registries were merged into expanded National HiRO Registry, creating single common data set for patients with conditions that put them at...
Background: Asian representation in sport is increasing, yet there remains a lack of reference values for the athlete's heart. Consequently, current guidelines cardiovascular screening recommend using Caucasian athletes' norms to evaluate athletes. This study aims outline electrocardiographic and echocardiographic characteristics heart Singaporean prospective registry Southeast (SE) Methods Results: One hundred fifty elite athletes, mean age 26.1 ± 5.7 years (50% males, 88% Chinese), were...
Use of dual-processing has been widely touted as a strategy to reduce diagnostic error in clinical medicine. However, this not tested among medical trainees with complex problems. We sought determine whether instruction could across spectrum experience undertaking cardiac physical exam. Three experiments were conducted using similar design teach exam cardiopulmonary simulator. One experiment was each three groups: experienced, intermediate and novice trainees. In all experiments,...
Background: As distributed undergraduate and postgraduate medical education becomes more common, the challenges with teaching learning process also increase.
To determine the psychological impact of a cardiovascular disease (CVD) diagnosis identified during preparticipation screening (PPS) masters athletes.Cross-sectional study.Masters athletes diagnosed with CVD through Masters Athletes Screening Study.Sixty-seven (89.6% male, mean age at 60.1 ± 7.1 years, range 40-76) diagnoses coronary artery (CAD) (73.1%), high premature ventricular contraction burden (9.0%), mitral valve prolapse (7.5%), atrial fibrillation (AF) (3.0%), bicuspid aortic...
Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation (STE) in lead aVR may be an important indicator of prognostically coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the prevalence and associated clinical features exercise-induced STE among consecutive patients referred for exercise stress electrocardiography (ExECG) is unknown.All receiving a Bruce protocol ExECG diagnosis CAD at tertiary care academic center were included over two-year period. Clinical characteristics, including results angiography, compared...
Abstract Background Both the age and number of endurance Masters athletes is increasing; this coincides with increasing cardiovascular risk. The vast majority sports-related sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) occur among >35 years age. Coronary artery disease (CAD) most common cause SCD amongst athletes. Case summary In our prospective screening trial, six asymptomatic ischaemia on electrocardiogram exercise stress testing had their coronary anatomy defined either by computed tomography or...
