Impact of E‐Beam Sterilization on Bioglass Composite Shape Memory Scaffolds

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Electron beam (E‐beam) sterilization is an attractive alternative to conventional methods (e.g., ethylene oxide) to sterilize medical devices such as scaffolds used to heal bone defects. Herein, the impact of E‐beam sterilization on the properties of “self‐fitting” shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffolds prepared from resorbable polyesters and a bioglass ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Proenkephalin Predicts Striatal Atrophy Decades before Clinical Motor Diagnosis in Huntington's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Assessment of Sensitivity and Specificity of Common Sensory Tests in Diagnosing Digital Nerve Lacerations

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Digital nerve lacerations are common. Current methods employed to differentiate intact and transected digital nerves lack diagnostic accuracy. This may result in patients with intact nerves undergoing unnecessary surgery. The objective of the study was to determine the best diagnostic method for detecting true sensory nerve ...

Subset‐Row Inequalities and Unreachability in Path‐Based Formulations for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problems

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work considers branch‐price‐and‐cut algorithms for variants of the vehicle‐routing problem in which subset‐row inequalities (SRIs) are used to strengthen the linear relaxation. SRIs often help to substantially reduce the size of the branch‐and‐bound search tree.

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
