Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Variability in UK Body Donation Information: A Comparison of Bequeathal Information and Consent Forms With Recommendations for Standardization

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of human donor bodies for anatomical examination in the United Kingdom is regulated by the Human Tissue Authority (England, Wales, and Northern Ireland) and His Majesty's Inspector of Anatomy for Scotland. This study aimed to assess the variability of information provided to body donors and the associated consent forms across UK ...

Predictors of amputation in patients with acute compartment syndrome after tibial fracture: a nomogram prediction model

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Purposes Amputation is a serious complication in patients with acute compartment syndrome (ACS). However, it risk factors are still poorly understood. Our study aims to investigate the risk factors of amputation in patients with ACS.

Atherectomy With Multimodal Embolic Protection for Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe calcification in femoropopliteal lesions remains a clinical challenge to achieve both the technical and long‐term success in endovascular therapy. Although atherectomy is an effective treatment for calcified lesions, it is associated with the risk of distal embolization, even with the use of embolic protection devices (EPDs), and ...

Association of remoteness and ethnicity with major amputation following minor amputation to treat diabetes-related foot disease.

PLoS ONE
IntroductionMinor amputation is commonly needed to treat diabetes-related foot disease (DFD). Remoteness of residence is known to limit access to healthcare and has previously been associated with poor outcomes.

Major lower extremity amputations – risk of re-amputation, time to re-amputation, and risk factors: a nationwide cohort study from Denmark

Acta Orthopaedica
Background and purpose: Re-amputation after lower extremity amputation is frequent. The primary aim of our study was to investigate cumulative re-amputation risk after transtibial amputation (TTA), knee disarticulation (KD), and transfemoral amputation (

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

The endocannabinoid system regulates both ependymoglial and neuronal cell responses to a tail amputation in the axolotl

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The endocannabinoid system is a neuromodulatory system implicated in cellular processes during both development and regeneration. The Mexican axolotl, one of only a few vertebrates capable of central nervous system regeneration, was used to examine the role of the endocannabinoid system in the regeneration of the tail and spinal ...
