Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Effects of virtual reality on anxiety and pain in adult patients undergoing wound-closure procedures: A pilot randomized controlled trial

Digital Health
Background In emergency departments, suturing is a typical procedure for closing lacerated wounds but is invasive and often causes anxiety and pain. Virtual reality (VR) intervention has been reported as a relaxing measure.

Active Formation of Friedrich–Wintgen Bound States in the Continuum in a Hybrid Plasmonic–Photonic Structure

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
A method is proposed for actively generating Friedrich–Wintgen bound state in the continuum (FW BIC) in a hybrid plasmonic–photonic structure near the commercially important communication wavelength. In addition, interactions between dark and bright modes can further form the FW BIC and support electromagnetically induced transparency‐like with maximum

RiskOracle: A Minute-level Citywide Traffic Accident Forecasting Framework [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Real-time traffic accident forecasting is increasingly important for public safety and urban management (e.g., real-time safe route planning and emergency response deployment). Previous works on accident forecasting are often performed on hour levels, utilizing existed neural networks with static region-wise correlations taken into account. However, it

Zero‐Power, Optical Toxic Gas and Vapor Sensors Utilizing Printed Nematic Liquid Crystal Patterns on Selectively Reactive Substrates

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Fast response, zero‐power, text or image sensors utilizing light transmission or reflection, and no unfavorable color change judgments, are fabricated using printed nematic liquid crystals patterned on reactive alignment layers, permit ppt‐ to ppb‐level sensitivity, and were field‐tested with active firefighters.
