Wearable Metamaterials with Embodied Intelligence for Programmable Control of Human Limbs Tremor

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Resulting from alternating muscle contractions, tremors can severely limit human ability to perform everyday tasks like walking or talking, due to their disruptive nature. Medication and surgery may not always effectively address tremor control. A wearable device embodying programmable smart metamaterials with adaptable intelligence to meet the demand ...

Microendovascular Neural Recording from Cortical and Deep Vessels with High Precision and Minimal Invasiveness

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Intravascular electroencephalography (ivEEG) using micro‐intravascular electrodes was developed. Cortical‐vein ivEEG showed a higher signal‐to‐noise ratio and finer spatial resolution of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) than superior sagittal sinus ivEEG, and deep‐vein ivEEG captured clear visual evoked potentials.

Optisense: Computational Optimization for Strain Sensor Placement in Wearable Motion Tracking Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A computational framework for optimizing strain sensor placement in wearable motion tracking systems is presented. By combining dense strain mapping with a genetic algorithm, the method discovers counterintuitive yet highly effective configurations that reduce joint angle error by 32%.

REWW‐ARM—Remote Wire‐Driven Mobile Robot: Design, Control, and Experimental Validation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The Remote Wire‐Driven robot “REWW‐ARM” demonstrates a new concept of remote actuation that separates electronics from harsh environments while retaining closed‐loop control. Combining tendon‐sheath mechanisms with decoupled joints, it achieves efficient power transmission and autonomous locomotion, manipulation, and underwater operation, suggesting ...

‘Keeping Ourselves Safe From the System’: Perinatal Care Model Considerations for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Families Intersecting With Child Protection

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is the priority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and Australian governments, to provide infants with enriching environments in which they may thrive. This is particularly critical during the perinatal period. Yet, an increasing number of notifications and interventions by child protection authorities are occurring in ...

The Global Airways in Practice: Long‐term Effects of Mepolizumab With or Without FESS on Type 2 Inflammation in Patients With CRSwNP

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a type 2 inflammatory disease often associated with asthma. The global airway hypothesis suggests bidirectional inflammatory interactions between upper and lower airways. Mepolizumab, an anti–IL‐5 therapy, treats conditions systemically, while functional endoscopic sinus surgery ...

A proximodistal gradient in bone structure and mechanics in the wings of Seba's short‐tailed bat, Carollia perspicillata

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Bats possess the remarkable ability to fly, and with this, distinctive wing bone properties. We investigated the structural, mechanical, and compositional properties of the humerus, radius, metacarpals, and proximal and middle phalanges of Carollia perspicillata, an approximately 15 g fruit‐eating bat native to the Neotropics.

Dental crown morphological variation and heterodonty in carcharhiniform sharks

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Elasmobranch teeth are highly mineralized structures that constitute the majority of the fossil record for this group. Despite their taxonomic and evolutionary significance, detailed descriptions of dental morphology remain scarce. The order Carcharhiniformes, the most diverse among sharks, comprises 304 valid species that display remarkable ...
