Acute ankle and knee injuries: To x-ray or not? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Ottawa ankle and knee rules are validated clinical decision tools that guide clinicians in targeting radiology to those patients who are likely to have an ankle or knee fracture, thus minimizing x-ray exposure of patients and reducing ...

Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance—walking subtasks critical for safe and ...

Unilateral Ankle‐Foot Exoneuromusculoskeleton with Balance‐Sensing Feedback for Self‐Help Telerehabilitation after Stroke

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

Zoborg: On‐Demand Climbing Control for Cyborg Beetles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel on‐demand climbing protocol enables Zoborg (a cyborg beetle from the living Zophobas morio) to seamlessly transition from horizontal floors to vertical walls. Multiple unrestrained mechanosensors allow wall sensing while electrical stimulation of the elytron initiates climbing. Leveraging the agile locomotion and exceptional adaptability of the

ATF3 Deficiency Exacerbates Ageing‐Induced Atherosclerosis and Clinical Intervention Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Targeting ATF3 with terazosin to against VSMC Senescence and atherosclerosis. TZ reduces the binding affinity of YTHDF2 to Atf3 mRNA, while enhancing mRNA stability. ATF3 promotes Atg7 transcription, enhancing autophagy. ATG7 binds to ATF3 in the cytoplasm, facilitating ATF3 translocation to the nucleus and establishing positive feedback. By modulating
