Dissecting the dissection laboratory: Elements for designing a human anatomy laboratory

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The human anatomy dissection laboratory is a critical component of anatomical and medical education. Development, maintenance, and stocking of these laboratory spaces have unique demands, with all of the challenges in running a laboratory with Biosafety Laboratory Level 2 (BSL‐2) classification, housing a large volume of tissues saturated with

Suture Augmented Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: A Detailed Technique

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Suture augmentation is frequently being used for medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair and many surgeons now augment UCL reconstructions with a high strength suture. This article and video describe the technique of suture augmented UCL reconstruction.

Compliant hydrogel cuff coating with real‐time pressure monitoring and antibiofilm capabilities for ventilator‐associated pneumonia prophylaxis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A soft‐compliant hydrogel cuff coating combines real‐time pressure monitoring with intrinsic antibacterial activity for prophylaxis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia. A flexible pressure‐sensing patch is embedded in the coating to enable wireless dynamic monitoring of endotracheal cuff pressure through Bluetooth.

Substrate stiffness regulates cell fate and its applications in the repair of motor system: From two dimensions to three dimensions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Substrate stiffness with different dimensions (2D and 3D) exerts a regulatory role in cellular behaviors, thereby governing cell fate decisions. Biomaterials with tunable stiffness exhibit substantial functional potential for the repair and regeneration of the motor system.

Climate Change Exposure and the Discipline of Capital Structure: Evidence From Managerial Leverage Distortion

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how climate change exposure affects corporate financing behaviour through the lens of managerial leverage distortion (MLD), defined as the absolute deviation of observed leverage from a benchmark implied by firm fundamentals.
