Innovative Strategies for Organ Preservation in Heart Transplantation: Uniform Cooling Preservation and Ex-situ Normothermic Perfusion
0 Views •
2025
Donor heart preservation is a major determinant of success in heart transplantation. Technological advances have led to optimizing the conditions of preservation, along with a more accurate assessment of the donor heart before transplantation. We herein describe two innovative technologies currently applied for cardiac preservation: uniform cooling preservation and normothermic ex-situ heart perfusion.

2023
The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) is a biochemical procedure used to elucidate binding between proteins and nucleic acids. In this assay a radiolabeled nucleic acid and test protein are mixed. Binding is determined via gel electrophoresis which separates components based on mass, charge, and conformation. This video shows the concepts of EMSA and a general procedure, including gel and protein preparation, binding, electrophoresis, and detection. Applications covered in this video...

Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is an interesting complement to mass spectrometry for the characterization of biomolecules, notably because it is sensitive to isomerism. This protocol describes a tandem IMS (IMS/IMS) experiment, which allows the isolation of a molecule and the generation of the mobility profiles of its fragments.

FAQs
Clinical assessment examines movement, muscle strength, balance, joint function, and pain rather than relying on a single measure of ability. These domains show where functional decline may be developing and help clinicians select targeted measures. Reviewing them together supports individualized planning for people affected by injury, disease, aging, or treatment.
Early mobilization helps address functional decline during recovery from illness, surgery, or injury by encouraging movement at an appropriate stage of care. Used alongside rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise, it can support recovery while maintaining attention to pain, strength, balance, and joint function. The specific plan must reflect the person’s condition and treatment needs.
Therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation target the capabilities required for safe movement, including strength, balance, joint function, and overall movement control. Their value lies in addressing identified limitations rather than applying the same program to everyone. This targeted approach can help reduce disability, support recovery, and preserve independence across changing clinical circumstances.
Pain is one important part of mobility assessment, but preserving function requires a broader view of how pain interacts with movement, strength, balance, and joint function. A plan may therefore include exercise, rehabilitation, assistive devices, or other measures that protect movement-related systems. This wider perspective links symptom management with safe, independent activity.
A plan generally starts by evaluating movement, strength, balance, joint function, and pain. Clinicians then identify functional risks associated with injury, disease, aging, or treatment and choose targeted measures, such as therapeutic exercise, early mobilization, rehabilitation, assistive devices, or interventions that protect relevant body systems. Progress can guide later treatment planning.
Assistive devices may be included when a person needs additional support for safe movement or independence, while rehabilitation can address limitations identified during assessment. These options are not separate from mobility care; they form part of a targeted strategy that may also include exercise and early mobilization. Selection depends on the person’s functional needs and clinical context.
Mobility preservation informs care in rehabilitation, geriatrics, orthopedics, neurology, and chronic disease management. In each setting, clinicians can use movement, strength, balance, joint function, and pain findings to shape treatment planning. The approach is relevant both to recovery after illness or surgery and to preventive care intended to limit later functional decline.
The approach is intended to maintain or improve the ability to move safely and independently while limiting functional decline. Clinically, it can support recovery after illness or surgery, reduce disability, and improve quality of life. Its outcomes depend on matching interventions to assessed needs and considering the effects of disease, injury, aging, and treatment.
