Emergency medical services infrastructure development and operations in low- and middle-income countries: Community first responder–driven (Tier-1) emergency medical services systems

Surgery
Low- and middle-income countries face unique challenges in delivering prehospital emergency care, often requiring context-appropriate emergency medical services development focused on community-driven solutions (tier 1 systems). Replicating high-income country tier 2 systems in low- and middle-income countries is not financially feasible in resource ...

Cyclic Mechanical Loading of Cardiomyocytes via Pressure‐Driven Non‐Planar Membrane Deformation in a Bioreactor System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this research article, Mansoor and coworkers present a novel device that applies controlled mechanical stimuli to cardiomyocytes using pressure‐driven membrane deformation. By exposing cells to physiologically and pathologically relevant loading conditions, the platform reproduces distinct structural, functional and molecular responses associated ...

Lightweight, Elastic Ceramic Fabrics for Broadband Electromagnetic Absorption and High Temperature Thermal Insulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports lightweight, elastic ceramic fabrics with broadband electromagnetic absorption (EAB = 9.8 GHz) and high‐temperature thermal insulation, enabled by precise microstructural control during ultrafast high‐temperature sintering (UHS), which induces the precipitation of defect‐rich t‐ZrO2 nanograins and turbostratic C nanoclusters.
