Structural and Functional Changes in the Coupling of Fascial Tissue, Skeletal Muscle, and Nerves During Aging

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Aging is a one-way process associated with profound structural and functional changes in the organism. Indeed, the neuromuscular system undergoes a wide remodeling, which involves muscles, fascia, and the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Effect of Implementing a Dashboard With or Without a Best Practice Alert on HLA‐B*58:01 Testing Rates Among Allopurinol Users at VA Medical Centers

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The American College of Rheumatology recommends HLA‐B*58:01 allele testing before the initiation of allopurinol, specifically among Asian and African American/Black patients, due to their increased risk for severe hypersensitivity reactions. However, testing rates remain low at many health care facilities.

Effects of electromagnetic therapy on proprioception in a rodent animal model of rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesPhysiotherapy Quarterly
Introduction This study aimed primarily to investigate the effect of a PEMF on proprioception in terms of mechanoreceptor number and function and secondarily to assess the gait quality (sciatic function index) and arthritis severity (paw volume and body ...

Bed Rest, Exercise Countermeasure and Reconditioning Effects on the Human Resting Muscle Tone System

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
The human resting muscle tone (HRMT) system provides structural and functional support to skeletal muscle and associated myofascial structures (tendons, fascia) in normal life. Little information is available on changes to the HRMT in bed rest.

Computational models of flatfoot with three-dimensional fascia and bulk soft tissue interaction for orthosis design

open access: yesMedicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2021
The finite element (FE) method has been widely used to investigate the internal force of plantar fascia, which could reveal the relationship between plantar fascia dysfunction and flatfoot deformity during weight-bearing conditions.

Eosinophilic fasciitis (Shulman's disease): review and comparative evaluation of seven patients. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
OBJECTIVES: Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) was described in 1974 by Shulman as a rare fibrosing connective tissue disease of unknown etiology. An undetermined trigger is thought to lead to the degranulation of eosinophils that interact with fibroblasts and

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Artifact‐Minimizing Ultrathin Transparent Electrodes Fabricated via iCVD for In Vivo Optogenetic Stimulation and Neural Signal Monitoring of Primary Visual Cortex

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present ultrathin flexible transparent electrodes through iCVD‐enabled molecular control of 10 nm gold films on poly(dimethylaminomethylstyrene). In vivo validation demonstrated photoelectric artifact reduction vs. opaque electrodes and preservation of natural neural dynamics.
