Stiff to Soft: A Protein‐Based Buffer Layer for Improving the Long‐Term Performance of Microneedle Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
To enhance stability and long‐term biocompatibility of wearable microneedle sensors, a crosslinking‐recombination bovine serum albumin material is used as a buffer layer coated on microneedle sensors. This coating layer possesses a unique stiff‐to‐soft transition function balancing the mechanical stiffness desired for puncturing and soft required for ...

Trichotillomania, skin picking disorder, and pregnancy

open access: yesComprehensive Psychiatry
Background: Trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) and skin picking disorder have typical age of onset around puberty, and appear more common in women than in men, suggesting the possibility that hormonal systems may relate to symptoms.

Intradermal Growing Hair: Two Case Reports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Men's Health, 2019
Hair growing inside the skin and burrowing in the uppermost dermis, previously termed as “ingrowing hair,” is a rarely reported cutaneous disorder. Up to July 31, 2018, only five cases have been reported, all were male. The authors report two Chinese Han

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

On the perspectivization of a recipient role - cross-linguistic results from a speech production experiment on GET-passives in German, Dutch and Luxembourgish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The focus of this paper is the perspectivization of thematic roles generally and the recipient role specifically. Whereas perspective is defined here as the representation of something for someone from a given position (Sandig 1996: 37 ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Trichotillomania Disorder in a Child with Intellectual Disability and the Efficacy of Habit-Reversal Training Techniques: A Case Report [PDF]

open access: yesمجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان
Trichotillomania disorder, or hair pulling disorder, is a condition in which patients unconsciously engage in hair-pulling, which reinforces compulsive hair pulling behaviors, culminating in conscious and deliberate hair pulling.

Electrical Control of the Transduction Channels’ Gating Force in Mechanosensory Hair Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The inner ear's hair cells rely on mechanosensitive ion channels to convert vibrations of their hair‐bundle into electrical signals. We show that varying the electrical potential (U) across the sensory epithelium modulates a key determinant of mechanosensitivity—the gating force (FG)—by modulating the gating swing (d), ranging from the size of the ...
