BMC Public Health, 2017 Background Most studies of physical activity (PA) epidemiology use behaviour measured at a single time-point. We examined whether ‘PA patterns’ (consistently low, consistently high or inconsistent PA levels over time) showed different epidemiological ...

Validation and human factor analysis study of an infant weight estimation device
BMC Pediatrics, 2020 Background Weight is critical for the medical management of infants; however, scales can be unavailable or inaccessible in some practice settings. We recently developed and validated a robust infant weight estimation method based on chest circumference ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Patient‐specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into alveolar type II cells (iAT2s), expanded as 3D alveolospheres, and grown at physiologically relevant air–liquid interface (ALI). This study shows for the first time the infectability of iAT2s by the influenza A virus (IAV) and proves their responsiveness to the well ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Commercial vascular grafts are made from ePTFE, a highly hydrophobic, foreign material that fails at a high rate in small‐diameter applications. Plasma polymer nanoparticles (PPN) are a versatile material functionalisation tool, used here to present fibrillin‐1 fragment PF8 on the graft surface.

The waist-hip ratio: a flawed index
Annals of Human Biology, 2020 The waist-hip ratio, namely waist circumference (WC) divided by hip circumference (HC), has been referred to in thousands of articles, generally as a correlate and predictor either of health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, or of ...

Smart Catheters for Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Therapy
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a comprehensive review of smart catheters, an emerging class of medical devices that integrate embedded sensors, robotics, and communication systems, offering increased functionality and complexity to enable real‐time health monitoring, diagnostics, and treatment. Abstract This review explores smart catheters as an emerging class of

Application of alternative anthropometric measurements to predict metabolic syndrome
Clinics, 2014 OBJECTIVE: The association between rarely used anthropometric measurements (e.g., mid-upper arm, forearm, and calf circumference) and metabolic syndrome has not been proven.

Orthogonal Polynomials on the Circumference and Arcs of the Circumference
Journal of Approximation Theory, 2000 The paper is a part of the theory of orthogonal polynomials on several arcs of the circumference (which has many analogues with the theory of orthogonal polynomials on several intervals of the real axis). The authors prove an analogue of Aptekarev's theorem on asymptotically periodic recurrence coefficients and they find very interesting results on the

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This manuscript describes the cultivation of viable microvessels from cryopreserved human brain tissue. When embedded in hydrogels and cultured in microfluidic devices, these microvessels exhibit complex architectures reminiscent of arterioles and capillaries, can be perfused, and display intact barrier function. Collectively, these results demonstrate
