Spirals of Care: Resisting Paternalism and Palliation in Chronic Homeless Services

open access: yesSociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how organizationally supported resistance to paternalism and palliation unfolds on the frontlines of poverty governance. Sociological research shows that poverty in the United States is often managed through paternalist behavioral control or palliative minimalism.

Touch on predefined areas on the forearm can be associated with specific fingers: Towards a new principle for sensory feedback in hand prostheses

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2019
Objective: Currently available hand prostheses lack sensory feedback. A “phantom hand map”, a referred sensation, on the skin of the residual arm is a possible target to provide amputees with non-invasive somatotopically matched sensory feedback.

Topical Nifedipine Administration for Secondary Prevention in Frostbitten Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Frostbite is a cold-related injury with a growing incidence among healthy subjects. Sequelae after frostbite are frequent and vary among individuals. Here, we studied the thermal response in the digits of hands and feet of five subjects who had recovered

Examining the use and weight transfer of four custom‐made partial hindlimb exoprostheses for a dog

open access: yesVeterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Background Limb exoprosthetics in veterinary medicine are less developed than in human medicine. This case study evaluates four custom‐made hindlimb exoprostheses for a 6‐year‐old dog following metatarsal amputation due to a train accident.

Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interfaces Effectively Prevent Neuroma Formation After Sciatic Nerve Transection in Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
ObjectiveThe disordered growth of nerve stumps after amputation leading to the formation of neuromas is an important cause of postoperative pain in amputees. This severely affects the patients' quality of life.

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2151-2175, August 2026.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Prognostic Factors for Postoperative Complications. An Aggregate Protocol for 10 Observational Studies From the Danish TRIPLE‐A Cohort of 1.2 Million Surgeries

open access: yesActa Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative complications substantially increase morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Understanding prognostic factors is essential for risk stratification, targeted prevention strategies, and development of prediction models.

tBid‐Mediated Genetic Ablation of Connective Tissue Cells Reveals Their Key Regulatory Function During Limb Regeneration in Axolotls

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
We establish a tBid‐mediated cell ablation system in axolotls, achieve rapid and efficient ablation of multiple cell types, including muscle stem cell, spinal cord cell, and connective tissue (CT) cells. We investigate the role of CT using tBid‐mediated CT ablation and identify its essential role for limb development and regeneration.

A Case of Naja atra Bite Complicated by Gas Gangrene Leading to Amputation: Pathogen and Management Lessons

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Gas gangrene of the right upper limb following a Naja atra bite, with extensive skin necrosis and purulent discharge. ABSTRACT Gas gangrene after a Naja atra bite may be caused by Enterococcus faecalis from the snake's mouth, which is resistant to ceftriaxone.
