Evaluation of ejection fraction (EF) is paramount for patients with symptoms of heart failure. While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most common way to evaluate EF, recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have opened the door for ...
To overcome limitations of flexible thermoacoustic devices in low-frequency emission and sensing, we present a resonance-adjustable graphene sound device (RAGSD) inspired by frog vocal sacs. Integrating laser-induced graphene (LIG) with a deformable ...

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has evolved from a simple tool for fluid localization to a comprehensive modality for hemodynamic assessment and real-time clinical decision-making. The Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency (BLUE) protocol enables cli...
BACKGROUND: Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) represents the most prevalent cardiac disorder in dogs, frequently resulting in mitral regurgitation (MR) and congestive heart failure. Although echocardiography is the gold standard for diagnosis, i...
BACKGROUND: Pediatric respiratory diseases, including asthma and pneumonia, are major causes of morbidity and mortality in children. Auscultation of lung sounds is a key diagnostic tool but is prone to subjective variability. The integration of artif...
Physicians evaluate a patient's respiratory health during a physical examination by visual assessment of the work of breathing (WoB) to determine respiratory stability, and by detecting abnormal lung sounds via lung auscultation using a stethoscope t...

BACKGROUND: AI-aided home stethoscopes offer the opportunity of continuous remote monitoring of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, reducing the need for clinic visits.
Auscultation is a method that involves listening to sounds from the patient's body, mainly using a stethoscope, to diagnose diseases. The stethoscope allows for non-invasive, real-time diagnosis, and it is ideal for diagnosing respiratory diseases an...

BACKGROUND: Despite the poor outcomes related to the presence of pulmonary hypertension, it often goes undiagnosed in part because of low suspicion and screening tools not being easily accessible such as echocardiography. A new readily available scre...
Auscultation is crucial for the diagnosis of respiratory system diseases. However, traditional stethoscopes have inherent limitations, such as inter-listener variability and subjectivity, and they cannot record respiratory sounds for offline/retrospe...
