Robotically adjustable kinematics in a wrist-driven orthosis eases grasping across tasks [PDF]

open access: yes
Without finger function, people with C5-7 spinal cord injury (SCI) regularly utilize wrist extension to passively close the fingers and thumb together for grasping. Wearable assistive grasping devices often focus on this familiar wrist-driven technique to provide additional support and amplify grasp force.

Biomimetic Design of Biocompatible Neural Probes for Deep Brain Signal Monitoring and Stimulation: Super Static Interface for Immune Response‐Enhanced Contact

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrathin, flexible neural probes are developed with an innovative, biomimetic design incorporating brain tissue‐compatible materials. The material system employs biomolecule‐based encapsulation agents to mitigate inflammatory responses, as demonstrated through comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies.

Transpositional Adipofascial Flaps for Complicated Acute Finger Injuries

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2006
Seven patients who presented with complicated acute finger injuries were treated successfully with local transpositional adipofascial flaps. This is a one-stage procedure with advantages of simplicity and rapidity.

Nail bed defect reconstruction using a thenar fascial flap and subsequent nail bed grafting

open access: yesArchives of Plastic Surgery, 2019
Background Full-thickness nail bed defects with significant exposure of the distal phalanx are typically challenging to reconstruct. We describe a novel method of nail bed defect reconstruction using a thenar fascial flap combined with nail bed grafting.

Voice-controlled Debugging of Spreadsheets [PDF]

open access: yesProc. European Spreadsheet Risks Int. Grp. (EuSpRIG) 2007 155-164 ISBN 978-905617-58-6, 2008
Developments in Mobile Computing are putting pressure on the software industry to research new modes of interaction that do not rely on the traditional keyboard and mouse combination. Computer users suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury also seek an alternative to keyboard and mouse devices to reduce suffering in wrist and finger joints.

Radially Interrupted Viscous Fingers in a Lifting Hele-Shaw Cell [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Viscous fingers have been produced in the lifting Hele-Shaw cell, with concentric circular grooves etched onto the lower plate. The invading fluid (air) enters the defending newtonian fluid - olive oil as fingers proceeding radially inwards towards the centre. The fingers are interrupted at the circular groove, and reform as secondary fingers.

Engineered Peptides‐Based Hybrid‐Nested Microneedle Effectively Treat Biofilm‐Infected Diabetic Wounds

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid‐nested microneedle/cryogel scaffold (MQW‐CMg‐MOF) is designed for efficient biofilm removal and accelerated healing of diabetic wounds. The scaffold shows substantial biofilm removal in vitro and in a preclinical diabetic swine biofilm‐infected wound model compared to the control.

Treatment of Mallet Finger Deformity with Ring Splint

open access: yesBezmiâlem Science, 2018
Mallet finger deformity is the loss of active extension on distal interphalangeal joint and possessing hyperextension deformity on PIP joint. Although there are several treatment alternatives for mallet finger deformity, optimal treatment is unclear.
