Compliant hydrogel cuff coating with real‐time pressure monitoring and antibiofilm capabilities for ventilator‐associated pneumonia prophylaxis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A soft‐compliant hydrogel cuff coating combines real‐time pressure monitoring with intrinsic antibacterial activity for prophylaxis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia. A flexible pressure‐sensing patch is embedded in the coating to enable wireless dynamic monitoring of endotracheal cuff pressure through Bluetooth.

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

DRD2 Dopamine Receptor and IL-1β Gene Expression Changes Involved in Wound Healing in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Foot Ulcer

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2018
Background and purpose: Diabetic foot ulcer is a complication of type 2 diabetes. Various factors, such as changes in the level of cytokines (especially IL-1β) can interfere with the development of diabetic foot ulcer. Several factors affect the level of

Engineering programmable peptide hydrogels for chronic refractory wounds: A mechanism‐driven framework

BMEMat, EarlyView.
To break the self‐perpetuating pathology of chronic wounds, we propose a mechanism‐driven engineering framework for peptide‐based hydrogels. This review elucidates a hierarchical strategy—from molecular design to intelligent, multi‐functional systems—that enables these programmable biomaterials to dynamically intervene in key pathological loops and ...

A Novel Anatomical Description of the Normal Terminal Fibular Artery and the Terminal Fibular Window: Radiological Findings and Surgical Implications

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A novel anatomical description and radiological finding, related to the anatomical course of the terminal fibular artery (FibA) was recently reported. In the article, the authors found the terminal FibA to change its course, from being posterior and medial to the fibula to surface anteriorly and laterally before residing below the tibiofibular

Isoform Specificity of a Compound Targeting Actin Filaments Containing Tropomyosin Tpm1.8/1.9

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The unbranched actin filaments in mammalian cells are usually composed of co‐polymers of a specific tropomyosin isoform with actin. Genetic manipulation has revealed that the tropomyosins largely define the functional properties of actin filaments in an isoform‐specific, non‐redundant manner.
