Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

The Homozygous p.(Arg215Ter) Variant in XRCC2 Is Associated With Atypical Fanconi Anemia Without Major Hematological Abnormalities in Childhood

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fanconi Anemia (FA) is the most frequent inherited bone marrow failure syndrome. A role for the XRCC2 gene in FA was suspected in 2012 and confirmed in 2016, but only two affected individuals have been described thus far, and no long‐term follow‐up is available.

Electrocardiographic and Skin Manifestations of Turner Syndrome: Association With Cardiovascular Disease

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) and dermatologic conditions such as lymphedema and acquired melanocytic nevi (AMN) are common in Turner Syndrome (TS). We hypothesized that abnormalities of cranial neural crest cell derivatives drive the skin and heart manifestations of TS. We conducted joint cardiac and skin examinations of volunteers at a 2023

Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Repair Combined with Ozaki Procedure: Our First Experience

Український журнал серцево-судинної хірургії, 2020
Introduction. Aortic valve disease is often combined with the ascending aortic aneurysm. According to a number of authors, the frequency of the diagnosis varies from 9 to 50%, and the condition requires one-stage surgical correction.

Therapy for Myhre Syndrome: Goals, Misconceptions, and Current Agents

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre Syndrome (MYHRS, MIM #139210) is a rare, multisystem connective tissue disorder caused by recurrent heterozygous gain‐of‐function pathogenic variants in the SMAD4 gene, a key player in TGF‐β signaling and a regulator of extracellular matrix homeostasis.

MG53 Protein Protects Aortic Valve Interstitial Cells From Membrane Injury and Fibrocalcific Remodeling

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background The aortic valve of the heart experiences constant mechanical stress under physiological conditions. Maladaptive valve injury responses contribute to the development of valvular heart disease. Here, we test the hypothesis that MG53 (mitsugumin
