Abstract

Inherent highly ordered anisotropic aerogels were prepared through a facile celery-carbonization process. The subsequent modification of silver nanowire knitted nets endowed the prepared carbonaceous aerogel with several valuable properties, including broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, near-infrared responsive heating, lightweight cushioning and anisotropic pressure-sensitive conductivity. With the aid of 3D printing technology, this versatile material could be applied as an ultralight monitor to realize the visualized detection of different physiological activities, such as ankle movements and cardiac arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
