Bioinspired Flexible and Stretchable Coil Structure from Ti3C2Tx MXene/AgNPs‐Functionalized Piezoelectric Nanofibers for Enhanced Energy Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Ti3C2Tx MXene and Ag nanoparticles are embedded into piezoelectric nanofibers to form a stretchable, self‐powered coil that converts mechanical deformation into electrical energy. The device enables controllable power output during stretching and release while maintaining a compact and lightweight architecture, making it suitable for miniaturized ...

Experience with the use of the navigation system for ear surgeries: A cohort study

Journal of Nature and Science of Medicine, 2020
Objectives: Image guidance has been well characterized in spinal, orthopedic, sinonasal, and skull base surgery, but there is limited information on the use of these systems in cochlear implant and ear surgery.

Real world testing and cost‐effectiveness analysis of subcutaneous EEG (REAL‐ASE): Protocol for a prospective multicentre interventional trial

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common condition associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and costs. Poor documentation of seizures is a major challenge in epilepsy care. Objective seizure counting with mobile devices may mitigate this challenge and improve patient management.

Cochlear Implantation through the Middle Fossa Approach: A Review of Related Temporal Bone Studies and Reported Cases

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2017
Introduction Middle fossa approach has been suggested as an alternative for patients in whom other routes of electrode insertion are contraindicated. Even though there are temporal bone studies about the feasibility of introducing the cochlear implant ...

Understanding the Symptom Burden of Complex Skull Base Tumors From the Patient's Perspective

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Symptom burden of skull base tumor (SBT) patients, especially those undergoing multimodality treatment, is poorly understood. We aim to understand symptom burden in this patient group using the core module the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI).

‘Pre‐Technologies’ and the Lifeworld: Assistive Technologies as ‘Pre‐Technologies’ for Self‐Formation as Freedom

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article identifies assistive technologies (ATs) as ‘pre‐technologies’ mediating access to other technologies for disabled subjects (DSs). The motivation is to show that without ATs, DSs cannot be said to have the same level of access to freedom and self‐forming activities as able‐bodied subjects.
