Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,

Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications

Small, EarlyView.
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

Evaluating the efficacy of tagging adhesives for insect tracking

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Two‐part epoxy resin delivered the strongest RFID tag adhesion on carabid beetles, exceeding polyvinyl acetate, cosmetic latex and cyanoacrylate adhesives. Adhesive performance was consistent across Harpalus, Leistus and Poecilus; species effects were non‐significant, supporting a broadly applicable protocol for carabid RFID tagging studies.

Amyloid‐β aggregates induce vasculopathy via ferroptosis in brain endothelial cells

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption is evident in brains with amyloidopathy. In this study, we demonstrate that amyloid β (Aβ) drives abnormal lipid metabolism and lipid droplet formation in brain endothelial cells, leading to lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.

Patch Testing in Individuals With Diabetes Using Medical Devices. Part 2—Contact Allergy to Medical Device Allergens and New Patch Test Recommendations

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
This study aimed to describe the prevalence of contact allergy to allergens found in diabetes medical devices (MDs) among diabetes MD users and suggest an updated MD patch test series. Of the 204 diabetes MD users (114 with skin rash to diabetes MDs and 90 without), 16.2% were positive to allergens found in diabetes MDs, which underlines the urgent ...

Comparison of conjunctival pedicle flap to corneal fixation strength achieved by Tisseel® fibrin glue, ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, ReSure® hydrogel sealant, and conventional suturing with 8-0 VICRYL® ophthalmic suture. [PDF]

Vet Ophthalmol
Abstract Objective To determine and compare the fixation strength of conjunctival pedicle flaps to cornea achieved via conventional ophthalmic suture and three different adhesive compounds. Animals Studied Ex vivo porcine globes. Procedures Following a 6 mm wide 500‐micron‐restricted depth lamellar keratectomy, conjunctival pedicle flaps were secured ...

Collagen Type VI Alpha 1 as a Regulator of Redox Homeostasis in Antioxidant‐Enhanced Osteogenesis of Dental Stem Cells

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Under physiological conditions, NAC activates the PI3K‐AKT‐COL6A1 axis to sustain redox balance and enhance osteogenesis. COL6A1 deficiency, however, compromises this axis, inducing oxidative stress and impairing NAC's osteogenic efficacy. ABSTRACT Alveolar bone injury represents a prevalent clinical challenge in dentistry, for which stem cell‐based ...
