Joint effects of visual acuity impairment and visual field loss on reading performance: a low-vision simulation in Chinese readers [PDF]
Background This study aimed to evaluate the individual and joint effects of reduced visual acuity (VA) and restricted visual field (VF) on the reading performance of Chinese readers under standardized low-vision simulation. Methods Eighty-one adults were

Geometric determinants of sinterless, low-temperature-processed 3D-nanoprinted glass
Glass materials are essential for microsystems applications in fields ranging from optics and photonics to microfluidics and biomedicine, which has driven growing interest in additive manufacturing—or “three-dimensional (3D) printing”—to enable glass ...

Further Validation of Comfortable Print Size as a Parameter for Clinical Low-Vision Assessment
Purpose Comfortable print size (CfPS) has been proposed as a clinical alternative to deriving critical print size (CPS) in the assessment of reading function of vision-impaired patients. This study aimed to assess the repeatability of CfPS and to compare

3D-Printing for Critical Sized Bone Defects: Current Concepts and Future Directions
The management and definitive treatment of segmental bone defects in the setting of acute trauma, fracture non-union, revision joint arthroplasty, and tumor surgery are challenging clinical problems with no consistently satisfactory solution. Orthopaedic surgeons are developing novel strategies to treat these problems, including three-dimensional (3D ...

Design and 3D Printing of Personalized Hybrid and Gradient Structures for Critical Size Bone Defects
Treating critical-size bone defects with autografts, allografts, or standardized implants is challenging since the healing of the defect area necessitates patient-specific grafts with mechanically and physiologically relevant structures. Three-dimensional (3D) printing using computer-aided design (CAD) is a promising approach for bone tissue ...

Effect of Particle Size and Particle Size Distribution on Critical State Loci of Granular Soils
The critical state soil mechanics captures a wide range of stress-strain behaviour in an understandable context. It provides a conceptual framework for predicting soil behaviour and that is why the critical state is a central part of most advanced ...

Functionalized 3D-Printed PLA Biomimetic Scaffold for Repairing Critical-Size Bone Defects
The treatment of critical-size bone defects remains a complicated clinical challenge. Recently, bone tissue engineering has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for defect repair. This study examined the biocompatibility and repair efficacy of hydroxyapatite-mineralized bionic polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds, which were prepared through a ...

A systematic review on cough sound analysis for Covid-19 diagnosis and screening: is my cough sound COVID-19? [PDF]
For COVID-19, the need for robust, inexpensive, and accessible screening becomes critical. Even though symptoms present differently, cough is still taken as one of the primary symptoms in severe and non-severe infections alike.
