Differential postural effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue on postural control during quiet standing under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions. To address this objective, young male university students were asked to stand upright as still as possible with their eyes closed in two ...

Molecular origin of the two-step mechanism of gellan aggregation [PDF]
Among hydrocolloids, gellan is one of the most used anionic polysaccharides, because of its capability of forming mechanically stable gels at relatively low concentrations. Despite its long-standing use and importance, the gellan aggregation mechanism is still not presently understood at the microscopic level due to the lack of atomistic information ...

Endogenous/exogenous stimuli‐responsive smart hydrogels for diabetic wound healing
This figure illustrates smart hydrogels, persuaded to respond to various stimuli such as temperature, pH, and glucose levels. These smart hydrogels find extensive applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diabetic wound healing due to adapting dynamically to environmental changes.

Rheological and Physicochemical Studies on Emulsions Formulated with Chitosan Previously Dispersed in Aqueous Solutions of Lactic Acid [PDF]
Chitosan, a natural, cationic polysaccharide, may be a hydrocolloid strategic to formulate acidic food products, as it can act as both bio-functional and technofunctional constituent. Typically, acetic acid is used to disperse chitosan in aqueous media, but the use of this acid is limited in food formulations due to its flavor.

Estimating the cost impact of dressing choice in the context of a mass burns casualty event [PDF]
SUMMARY. Mass casualty burn events (MCBs) require intense and complex management. Silver-infused longer use dressingsmight help optimise management of burns in an MCB setting. We developed a model estimating the impact of dressing choice inthe context of
