Moth‐Wing‐Inspired Multifunctional Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a moth‐wing‐inspired heterogeneous metamaterial that achieves synergistic broadband sound absorption, mechanical energy dissipation, and thermal insulation within a lightweight architected framework. Combining bioinspired gradient design, genetic‐algorithm optimization, and additive manufacturing, the bionic heterogeneous acoustic ...

Pitfalls in imaging the frail elderly [PDF]

open access: yesThe British Journal of Radiology, 2015
The number of older people in the UK is rising and will continue to increase. Furthermore, there is evidence that (i) the number of investigations on the oldest patients is disproportionately increasing, (ii) inappropriate and/or futile radiological investigations are commonplace and (iii) the requests are coming from the most junior doctors.

Low Resistance Interphase Formation at the PEO‐LiTFSI|LGPS Interface in Lithium Solid‐State Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Interfacial charge transfer and low‐resistance interphase formation between PEO‐based polymer and Li10GeP2S12 solid electrolytes are investigated using multi‐electrode impedance spectroscopy and advanced analytical techniques such as XPS and ToF‐SIMS.

Predictive biomarkers for death and rehospitalization in comorbid frail elderly heart failure patients

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2018
BackgroundHeart failure (HF) is associated with a high rate of readmissions within 30 days post-discharge and in the following year, especially in frail elderly patients. Biomarker data are scarce in this high-risk population.

Oral Anticoagulation in the Elderly and Frail

open access: yesHämostaseologie, 2020
The proportion of elderly patients will increase substantially over the next decades, and both atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are more common in the elderly. Age is a risk factor not only for stroke and thromboembolism but also

Refeeding syndrome in the frail elderly population: prevention, diagnosis and management

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Gastroenterology, 2018
Aging is linked to physiological and pathophysiological changes. In this context, elderly patients often are frail, which strongly correlates with negative health outcomes and disability.

Lattice Structures for Bone Replacement: The Intersection of Bone Biomechanics, Lattice Design, and Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review outlines how understanding bone's biology, hierarchical architecture, and mechanical anisotropy informs the design of lattice structures that replicate bone morphology and mechanical behavior. Additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of orthopedic implants that incorporate such structures using a range of engineering materials ...
