Prefrontal cortex modulation using transcranial DC stimulation reduces alcohol craving: A double-blind, sham-controlled study

open access: yes, 2008
Background: Functional neuroimaging studies have shown that specific brain areas are associated with alcohol craving including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). We tested whether modulation of DLPFC using transcranial direct current stimulation

IN4MER Biomaterial Ink: A Phosphorescent Biosensing Biomaterial Ink for Multiple Analytes (Glucose, Lactate, Oxygen) Measurements and Temperature Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multianalyte, real‐time monitoring of bioprinted scaffolds remains challenging. Phosphorescence‐lifetime–based, optically responsive microparticles are embedded in diverse printable hydrogels (κ‐carrageenan, GelMA, PEGDA) to form biomaterial inks that report oxygen, glucose, lactate, and temperature.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Treatment in Patients with Alcohol Dependence: A Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial

open access: yes
[[abstract]]Aim: Craving is a critical symptom of addiction and significantly predictive of relapse. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been implied as a potential approach to reduce craving. This study aimed to investigate the safety and

Tissue‐Stimulator Platform for Electrically Stimulating Pancreatic β‐Cells for Long‐Term Functional Regulation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present a tissue‐stimulator platform for seamless electrode integration with pancreatic tissue, applying uniform electrical stimulation through optimized design with biohybrid 3D printing. Advantageous effects of electrical stimulation on β‐cell function were observed, including enhanced calcium signaling, islet morphology, and maturation.

A correlation study between the extent of cigarette and alcohol use among fraternity and sorority members and potential relationship to age, gender, GPA, number of college credits and participation in college athletics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Plan BDuring the past decade many lines of converging data have suggested that alcohol and tobacco consumption are positively correlated. This paper will examine the degree of relationship between alcohol and tobacco use and potential relationship to age,

Spatially Modulated Morphotropic Phase Boundaries in a Compressively Strained Multiferroic Thin Film

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The coexisting rhombohedral‐like (R′, MA) and tetragonal‐like (T′, MC) monoclinic phases in compressively strained bismuth ferrite thin films exhibit exceptional piezoelectric and magnetic properties. While previous studies have largely focused on probing the morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) comprising ordered R′/T′ twins, their self ...

Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Drug to curb alcohol dependence gets go-ahead.

open access: yes, 2012
A new drug that treats alcohol dependence by removing a person’s desire to drink is due to be available on prescription in Ireland next year. The European Medicines Agency has recommended approval of Selincro — the first approved drug therapy to ...
