Segmented Therapeutic Delivery via Acoustic Microbubble Relay
An acoustically driven, modular segmented delivery system is presented to overcome mechanical limitations of conventional microcatheters. Oscillating microbubbles generate directional streaming that enables continuous, targeted transport across open, angled segments.

Incidence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment in two Indigenous Bolivian cohorts
Abstract INTRODUCTION We studied dementia incidence and risk factors in Indigenous Tsimane and Moseten Amerindian populations in Amazonian Bolivia with largely subsistence lifestyles. METHODS A median of 4.7 years after baseline dementia assessment, 730 participants (52% male; mean age 67.3 years) were re‐visited at two follow‐up phases to determine ...

Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Altered Neurovascular Coupling Dynamics During Dobutamine‐Induced Acute Stress
ABSTRACT Background Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is essential for regulating brain metabolism and energy supply and may be altered under acute stress. This study aimed to investigate how acute stress induced by dobutamine affects NVC. Materials and methods This study enrolled 38 healthy participants undergoing a resting‐state fMRI scan and an arterial ...
