Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

Accelerating Musculoskeletal Robotics Through Parametric Design and 3D‐Printed Flexible Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Parametric design and flexible 3D printing create muscle‐, tendon‐, ligament‐, and cushion‐like robotic elements from a single thermoplastic polyurethane material. Tuning lattice patterns adjusts regional mechanical properties and enables coordinated multijoint motions in a life‐sized musculoskeletal leg under external suspension, with partial body ...

Diagnosing the system: Mental health, necropolitical uncare, and the abolition of migration detention

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the psychological effects of migration detention in the European Union's Closed Controlled Access Center (CCAC) on Samos through an ecological lens. It explores a double normalization of suffering: the brutalization of necropolitical migration governance and the simultaneous understanding of resulting distress as an ...

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Effects of oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation on the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base in minipigs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypoglossal nerve or tongue protruding muscle stimulation is a current treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. Thus, the present study analyzed 3D deformations of the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base upon oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation.

Healing Integrity Determines Meniscal Extrusion After Isolated Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair in Knees With No Lower Limb Malalignment

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To investigate changes in meniscal extrusion and meniscal healing status following root repair, and the relationship between meniscal extrusion and healing conditions. Methods Patients who underwent isolated root repair between 2019 and 2023 and consented to undergo second‐look arthroscopy to evaluate their healing condition (1 year ...

High Rate of Return to Sport in Competitive Athletes Undergoing Periacetabular Osteotomy With Concomitant Hip Arthroscopy

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To report the return‐to‐sport rate of competitive athletes with hip dysplasia, in relation to their preoperative level of competition, who underwent hip arthroscopy with concomitant periacetabular osteotomy (HA + PAO). Methods Patients participating in competitive sports who underwent HA + PAO for the correction of hip dysplasia between January

Female Sex, Higher Outerbridge Grade, and Preoperative Tibial Edema Are Associated With Failure After Arthroscopic Posterior Medial Meniscus Root Repair

open access: yesArthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To characterize the prevalence of arthroscopic surgical revisions, postsurgical conversion to arthroplasty, and patient‐reported outcomes of medical meniscus posterior root tear repairs at 1‐ and 2‐year follow‐up timepoints, with a focus on identifying predictors of treatment failure.
