South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 2006 In modern neurosurgery there has been a strong trend towards the use of minimally invasive techniques, one of which is intracranial endoscopy. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is the commonest procedure performed; it is used to treat hydrocephalus caused by an obstruction to the ventricular system anywhere distal to the mamillary bodies of the ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...
