A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

FACIAL NERVE PARALYSIS AS A COMPLICATION OF ACUTE OTITIS MEDIA IN CHILDREN: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW [PDF]

Sanamed
Introduction: The facial nerve controls facial expression, and its dysfunction causes facial asymmetry and reduced mimic function. Facial nerve paralysis is significantly less common in children compared to adults.

Magnetoelectric Nanoparticle‐Based Wireless Brain–Computer Interface: Underlying Physics and Projected Technology Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) enable fully wireless, minutely invasive neuromodulation, and potentially neural recording, by converting magnetic into electric and, conversely, electric into magnetic fields, respectively, at high spatiotemporal resolution.

Facial Pain Followed by Unilateral Facial Nerve Palsy: A Case Report with Literature Review [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Peripheral facial nerve palsy is the commonest cranial nerve motor neuropathy. The causes range from cerebrovascular accident to iatrogenic damage, but there are few reports of facial nerve paralysis attributable to odontogenic infections. In majority of

A Portable Soft Robotic Glove with Fully Functional Thumb Assistance for Complex Dexterous Fine Motor Skills

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A portable, sensorized, and controlled dexterous thumb‐enhanced glove helps stroke survivors swipe phones, twist caps, and perform other tasks. It is based on a powerful continuously, segmented origami dual chamber actuator to achieve active thumb CMC and MCP joint assistance and passively extend the IP joint.

Preserving Motor Features by Alternative Re‐Referencing to Remove Heart Artifact on the Stentrode

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Endovascular brain‐computer interfaces record neural activity from within cerebrovasculature, at the expense of electrocardiogram contamination. Band‐limited independent component analysis separates this heart‐based artifact from task‐relevant neural activity in each frequency band, enabling the reconstruction of cleaner neural recordings without the ...

Chimeric IL‐6/4R‐LL37 Engineered Macrophages Achieve Synchronized Inflammation Control and Antimicrobial Defence in Sepsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered macrophages programmed in situ by LNP‐delivered IL‐6/4 fusion and LL37 mRNAs simultaneously dampen cytokine storm, promote M2‐like repair, and enhance direct bacterial killing in sepsis. This combinatorial strategy restores T cell and macrophage function, lowers organ bacterial burden, and improves survival, highlighting a precision, host ...
