Physical activity and quality of life of amputees in southern Brazil [PDF]

, 2011
Physical activity is a positive component of human health. Its effects are associated with improvement in physical, psychological and social aspects of quality of life. Physical activity is therefore an important factor in the rehabilitation of amputees.

Versatile DNA Hydrogel‐Mediated Delivery of Ginsenoside‐Encapsulated Small Extracellular Vesicles to Boost Diabetic Wound Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a DNA hydrogel‐mediated delivery system, in which ginsenoside (GS) molecules are incorporated into small extracellular vesicles (sEV) secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the formed complexes are then anchored in DNA hydrogels via aptamer‐CD63 affinity as “GS/sEV@DNAgels”, to improve diabetic wound repair.

Transmetatarsal Amputation Results in Higher Frequency of Revision Surgery and Higher Ambulation Rates Than Below-Knee Amputation

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2022
Background: Selecting the level of amputation for patients with severe foot pathology can be challenging. The surgeon is sometimes confronted with an option between transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) and below-knee amputation (BKA).

Dual‐Network Protein Hydrogels Promote Rapid Hemostasis and Immune‐Regulated Scarless Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A dual‐network protein hydrogel substantially improves hemostasis and scar‐free healing.The adaptive network maintains intimate tissue contact while providing strong wet adhesion, tunable mechanics, and controlled degradation. Concurrent ROS scavenging and M2 polarization suppress fibrotic pathways, preventing scar formation.

A Retrospective Review of Risk Factors and Conversion Rate of Transmetatarsal Amputations to Below or Above Knee Amputation

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2017
Category: Diabetes Introduction/Purpose: Despite the presence of several studies examining the conversion from transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) to a more proximal amputation, few studies identified the possible predictors of failure.

Self-energy effects in the Polchinski and Wick-ordered renormalization-group approaches [PDF]

, 2011
I discuss functional renormalization group (fRG) schemes, which allow for non-perturbative treatment of the self-energy effects and do not rely on the one-particle irreducible functional.

Terrestrial Cyborg Insects for Real‐Life Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article reviews the development of terrestrial cyborg insects from their emergence in 1997 to mid‐2025, examining three key aspects: locomotion control methods, associated challenges with proposed solutions, and practical applications. Framing these biohybrid systems as insect‐scale mobile robots, the review provides foundational insights for new ...

National Disability Insurance Scheme and Quality of Life Among Carers of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder in Australia: A Thematic Analysis

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder in Australia have increased considerably in recent years. The current study investigated how the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) impacts quality of life (QoL) among carers of children with autism spectrum disorder.
