A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

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

Advanced 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

Dual Foreign Body Response Mitigation Strategies for Implantable Glucose Sensors

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
The foreign body response negatively impacts the analytical lifetime of implantable glucose sensors due to a heightened immune response and deposition of collagen. While nitric oxide release has shown promise as a foreign body response mitigation strategy, improvement is limited by the duration of release.

IMPROVISATION OF A ROLLER BANDAGE FROM A SQUARE OR HANDKERCHIEF BANDAGE [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1910
In emergency cases in which a dressing or a splint is required it sometimes happens that a square or handkerchief bandage does not serve the purpose nearly as well as a roller bandage. The method here described is one by which a roller bandage may be made from a handkerchief very quickly and easily.

Regenerative Hair Pigmentation via Skin Organoids: Adaptive Patterning Mediated by Collagen VI and Semaphorin 3C

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The release of COL6A3 by fibroblasts is sensed by the CD44 receptor on melanocytes, activating glutathione (GSH) metabolism and increasing melanocyte survival during skin organoid culture. SEMA3C released by bulge cells binds to the NRP1 receptor on melanocytes, regulating microtubule stability and promoting melanocyte recruitment and function during ...
