Tuberculosis of the Parotid Gland

open access: yesCase Reports in Radiology, 2012
Parotid gland involvement is extremely rare, even in countries in which tuberculosis is endemic. Clinically, it usually presents as a slow-growing mass indistinguishable from a malignancy.

Bio‐Orthogonally Crosslinked Supramolecular Polymer Bottlebrush Hydrogels for Long‐Term 3D Cell Culture

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous benzenetrispeptide (BTP) hydrogels, fabricated via strain‐promoted azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) crosslinking, form robust, bioinert networks. These hydrogels can support 3D cell culture, where cell viability and colony growth depend on the fiber content.

Understanding activity and physiology at scale: The Apple Heart & Movement Study

open access: yesnpj Digital Medicine
Physical activity or structured exercise is beneficial in a wide range of circumstances. Nevertheless, individual-level data on differential responses to various types of activity are not yet sufficient in scale, duration or level of annotation to ...

Meniscus Pixel Printing for Contact‐Lens Vision Sensing and Robotic Control

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A visual‐sensing contact lens is enabled by meniscus pixel printing (MPP), which rapidly patterns a 200 µm perovskite photodetector pixel in 1 s without masks, vacuum processing, or bulky equipment. A deep‐learning‐based super‐resolution reconstructs sparse on‐lens signals into 80 × 80 high‐resolution visual information, while AI‐driven eye‐tracking ...

Impacts of COVID-19-related social distancing measures on personal environmental sound exposures

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has created substantial and dynamic disruptions in society, personal behavior, and potentially chronic sound exposures, which are associated with hearing loss, cardiovascular disease, and other health impacts. Leveraging preliminary

Laboratory evaluation of higher-order aberrations and light scattering in explanted opacified intraocular lenses

open access: yesEye and Vision, 2021
Background Intraocular lens (IOL) calcification is a serious condition that can only be treated by removing the clouded lens. Since explantation bears the risk of complications, it is often deferred until the patient finds the symptoms intolerable ...

Precise Control of Drug Release in Machine Learning‐Designed Antibody‐Eluting Implants for Postoperative Scarring Inhibition in Glaucoma

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We developed a micro‐sized, biocompatible implant for postoperative sustained delivery of anti‐fibrotic antibodies in glaucoma surgery. Machine learning‐guided optimization of polymer composition, implant geometry, and porosity enabled precise control of drug release.

A Versatile Engineering Platform for the Fabrication of Prosthetic Venous Valves Using Electrospinning

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Percutaneous prosthetic venous valves are fabricated by embedding stents in an electrospun matrix that extends luminally to form leaflets. The design shields leaflets from hyperplastic cells, isolates struts from blood contact, and avoids discrete anchoring points.

Ophthalmic viscosurgical device interaction with two hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses of different equilibrium water content

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) is used during intraocular surgery to protect ocular tissue. It requires complete removal from the eye by the end of surgery to avoid postoperative complications. This study compares the interaction of a cohesive OVD
