Myeloperoxidase Luminol Reaction – A Novel Faecal Assay for Predicting Colonoscopy Findings in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis: A Pilot Cross‐Sectional Clinical Study

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Can luminol detect faecal inflammation? This study explores the development and optimisation of a rapid novel assay ‐ Myeloperoxidase Luminol Reaction (MPOLR) for the detection of faecal myeloperoxidase activity. This simple and rapid luminol‐based approach competes with clinically validated faecal biomarkers in predicting endoscopic findings in ...

Computational Analysis of a GST‐Based Long‐Wave Infrared Microring Resonator on a ZnSe Platform as a Photonic Sensor

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
A Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST)‐based microring resonator is designed and simulated on a ZnSe‐platform that operates in the long‐wave infrared (LWIR) wavelength of 8 μm. The structure demonstrates strong power confinement and high Q‐factor. GST resonator is used for gas and biosensing applications.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
