Beyond Visual Scoring: Computational Computed Tomography Analysis for High‐Resolution Computed Tomography–Based Quantification of Interstitial Lung Disease in Inflammatory Rheumatic Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disorders (IRDs). High‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is widely considered the gold standard for the noninvasive assessment of ILD; however, its interpretation is constrained by substantial interobserver variability and the ...

Effect Modification of Cigarette Smoking on the Relationship between Post‐traumatic Stress Disorder, Other Mental Health Conditions and Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk: A Large Case‐Control Study in U.S. Veterans

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective We examined associations of post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health disorders (OMH) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), accounting for effects of smoking. Methods We conducted a matched case‐control study, identifying incident RA cases and controls using national Veteran Health Administration data (2006‐2019).

An Edible Chitosan‐Based Acoustic Sensor for Sound‐Responsive Actuation in Edible Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an edible acoustic sensor for robotic food and edible robotics. Built from a chitosan piezoelectric film between gold electrodes, the sensor enables acoustic communication through ON/OFF keying. Integrated into an edible robot with pneumatically actuated arms and neck, it responds to high‐frequency tones.

Bioinspired Adaptive Artificial Cilia With Tunable Sensitivity and Dynamic Range for Airflow Monitoring in the Central Airway

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A magnetically reconfigurable airflow sensor integrated with an airway stent enables tunable sensitivity and dynamic sensing range. Airflow‐induced cantilever deformation generates resistance changes, while an external magnetic field modulates sensor stiffness, enhancing sensitivity at low airflow velocities and extending the sensing range at higher ...
