Optimizing post-surgical outcomes: unveiling the importance of patient-reported outcomes with insights from the schulthess local shoulder arthroplasty registry

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Objective The establishment of clinical registries is essential for the comprehensive evaluation of surgical outcomes. In 2006, the Schulthess Shoulder Arthroplasty Registry (SAR) was launched to systematically assess safety, implant longevity ...

Bioinspired Shape Reconfigurable, Printable, and Conductive “E‐Skin” Patch with Robust Antibacterial Properties for Human Health Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this article, Hojin Kim, Sayan Deb Dutta, and co‐workers report a shape‐reconfigurable, 3D printable, and highly adhesive slime‐like ‘electronic skin’ or ‘E‐skin’ patch for human health sensing and tissue engineering applications. The dual reinforcement of hydrogel patch with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) improve the ...

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

Enhancing the Performance of a Biomimetic Robotic Elbow-and-Forearm System Through Bionics-Inspired Optimization [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This paper delineates the formulation and verification of an innovative robotic forearm and elbow design, mirroring the intricate biomechanics of human skeletal and ligament systems. Conventional robotic models often undervalue the substantial function of soft tissues, leading to a compromise between compactness, safety, stability, and range of motion.

Structural and Stellar Population Properties vs. Bulge Types in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Central Galaxies [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 493, Issue 2, 2020, p.1686-1707, 2019
This paper studies pseudo-bulges (P-bulges) and classical bulges (C-bulges) in Sloan Digital Sky Survey central galaxies using the new bulge indicator $\Delta\Sigma_1$, which measures relative central stellar-mass surface density within 1 kpc. We compare $\Delta\Sigma_1$ to the established bulge-type indicator $\Delta\langle\mu_e\rangle$ from Gadotti ...

Permeation Enhancer‐based Ionogel Shows Remarkable Potential for Oral Insulin Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel formulation of decanoate in an ionic liquid inspired drug delivery system. The formulation demonstrates ideal physicochemical and material properties for oral peptide delivery. Findings indicate that choline decanoate (1:2 molar ratio) forms a viscoelastic gel that enables high oral bioavailability of insulin in rats ...
