Improving access to heart-failure screening with saliva
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Heart failure is especially fatal for people without access to medical facilities. A research team aims to bring heart failure screening from the lab to the home with a biosensor that uses a drop of saliva to screen for biomarkers of the disease. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.

Expansión con luz del implante cardíaco de un niño
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Los niños que nacen con ciertos defectos cardíacos se someten a un implante de shunt para mejorar el flujo sanguíneo. El shunt debe cambiarse a medida que el cuerpo crece. Los investigadores informan que un nuevo shunt expandible que reacciona a la luz podría reducir el número de cirugías a las que se someten estos niños. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
