A Brief History of Early Silica Glass: Impact on Science and Society

Substantia, 2019
Silicon in the form of silica is the basis of common glass and its uses predate recorded history. The production of synthetic glass, however, is thought to date back to no earlier than 3000 BCE.

Advanced cancer patients in a randomized clinical trial of night-simulating eyeglasses observed to have a normal 24-h circadian rhythm during chemotherapy

SAGE Open Medicine, 2022
Objectives: Cancer patients routinely exhibit dysfunctional circadian organization. Indeed, a dysfunctional circadian organization is a hallmark of advanced cancer. A cohort of advanced cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy was recruited to investigate

Dynamic Fluorescence Modulation via Light‐Driven Competitive Protonation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A two‐component molecular system demonstrates reversible, light‐driven fluorescence write–erase cycling and thermal imaging. Illumination of a merocyanine photoacid transfers a proton to a highly efficient fluorescent pyridinium dye, switching its emission color; thermal relaxation reverses the process in the dark.

CRISPR and Gene Augmentation Rescue Trabecular Meshwork Dysfunction in iPSC Models of Lowe Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling Lowe syndrome using patient‐derived iPSCs, this study establishes a human disease model that faithfully recapitulates OCRL deficiency‐associated ciliary and cytoskeletal defects. The model enables evaluation of both mutation‐agnostic DNA augmentation and CRISPR‐mediated mutation correction strategies, both of which restore OCRL function and

Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

Fidget and Sensory Toys for Anxiety and Emotional Regulation in Children: A Scoping Review With Implications for Pediatric Perioperative Care

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary of the scoping review on fidget and sensory toys for childhood anxiety. ABSTRACT Background Non‐pharmacological interventions are essential to reduce procedural anxiety in pediatric care. Fidget and sensory toys are widely used for distraction and self‐regulation, yet evidence on their effectiveness remains fragmented.
