The world of drug development has long been marked by the rigorous assessment of cardiac safety. Recognizing the need for a more accurate and efficient evaluation system, the Comprehensive in vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative emerged. At the heart of this initiative are CiPA Translational Assays, designed to improve the prediction of drug-induced cardiac arrhythmias. Understanding the ...
Central Maine Medical Center is a 250-bed hospital in Lewiston, Maine with a busy electrophysiology (EP) lab. The hospital is a Premier member, a part of the Yankee Alliance purchasing network and has been using reprocessed EP devices for several years. While success with single-use device reprocessing has been limited in the past, today, Central Maine is on track to save hundreds of thousands of ...
NewPace develops and patented the Implantable Subcutaneous String Defibrillator (ISSD™) which is the first, completely unitary and flexible, rechargeable, lifesaving implanted defibrillator. Its innovative, minimally invasive, shape introduces a new dimension in subcutaneous cardioverter ...
"A neuronal mechanism for motivational control of behavior" published in Science by Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, University of Basel. Almost everything you do in your daily life is geared toward achieving a specific goal. The brain has the ability to maintain a motivated state in order to lead behaviors toward desired results. Deep brain calcium imaging, ...
Introducing Beacon Biosignals: a neurotechnology company founded to develop machine learning-enabled EEG neurobiomarkers and accelerate precision medicine for any disease state affecting the brain Founded by MD/PhDs and engineers from Harvard and MIT, Beacon is propelled by the vision of a computing platform designed to scale the interrogation of large brain datasets with unprecedented ...
BELLEVUE, WA — July 29, 2021– A recent clinical study from Overlake Medical Center utilizing the Bardy Diagnostics Carnation Ambulatory Monitor (CAM) patch was presented at the 2021 Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) Conference. The abstract, “Accelerating Proper Evaluation of Emergency Department Patients for Arrhythmia Concerns with Discharge Use of ECG Patch Monitors,” authored ...
Abstract Purpose: Limited means exist to assess gastrointestinal activity in pediatric patients postoperatively. Recently, myoelectric gastrointestinal activity recorded by cutaneous patches has been shown in adult patients to be predictive of clinical return of gastrointestinal function postoperatively. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the feasibility of this system in ...
New results support the feasibility of an entirely extracardiac pacing method in a heterogeneous patient population, using a minimally invasive, parasternal delivery approach, with adequate sensing and thresholds suited for temporary pacing. The study, authored by Anne-Floor BE Quast, Niek EG Beurskens (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and colleagues, was recently published in ...
The ventricular myocardium of the human heart is composed of an anisotropic tissue structure that allows for force generation and contraction to pump blood throughout the body. It has long been established that the collagen-rich, fibrous, extracellular matrix environment guides the formation of this laminar tissue architecture. The structural and mechanical properties of the cardiac ...
