Mechanically Enhanced, Antibacterial, and Double‐Network Hydrogel Flexible Sensors for Sleep Apnea Monitoring

Small, EarlyView.
This report describes the preparation of an antibacterial hydrogel sensor from a polyvinyl alcohol/silk fibroin double network, tannic acid‐coated liquid metal, and copper particles, with an ethanol post‐treatment using a multi‐level structural regulation strategy. The obtained hydrogel is evaluated in the context of respiratory monitoring.

Chronic Traumatic Dental Occlusion: Its Impact on Temporomandibular Joint and Systemic Health, and Clinical Management Strategies

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Traumatic dental occlusion (TDO) is a multifactorial and dynamic clinical condition that extends beyond localised tooth wear and has been reported to be associated with alterations in temporomandibular joint biomechanics, neuromuscular function and overall masticatory system performance. While acute dental trauma often receives greater

Teeth clenching reduces arm abduction force

Experimental Brain Research, 2014
It has been reported that the 90° arm abduction force counteracting external adduction loads appeared to be smaller under teeth clenching condition than under non-clenching condition. To elucidate the physiological mechanism underlying the possible inhibitory effect of teeth clenching on the arm abduction, we have attempted to quantify the difference ...
