Silver and Gold Combine in New Bioelectrical Sensor

Health News

What to know: Researchers have created a high-performing, inexpensive bioelectrical sensor by printing metals onto fabric. The sensor detects electromyography (EMG) signals caused by muscle contractions, which can help inform the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular diseases. Silver paste ― which is conductive and capable of detecting electric signals ― was printed into cloth by a team from the University […]

Circulating Post-STEMI Ketones Elevated, Hints at Treatment Role

Health News

Circulating ketone bodies (KBs) are substantially elevated at presentation and 24 hours after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), according to new research. The study also showed that greater KB levels measured after 24 hours of reperfusion were associated with larger infarct size and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The findings suggest a potential role for ketone metabolism in response […]
