Sound‐Based Assembly of Magnetically Actuated Soft Robots Toward Enhanced Release of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Magnetic soft robots offer promise in biomedicine due to their wireless actuation and rapid response, but current fabrication methods are complex and have limited cellular compatibility. A new, contactless bioassembly strategy using hydrodynamic instabilities is introduced, enabling customizable, centimeter‐scale robots.

The Voice of Cantú: Lower Voice Pitch Is a New Phenotypic Feature of Cantú Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cantú syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic condition caused by pathogenic variants in either ABCC9 or KCNJ8, leading to gain‐of‐function of KATP‐channels. The main clinical features are hypertrichosis and cardiovascular abnormalities. This study investigates the voice characteristics in individuals with CS, an aspect that has received little ...

Neuropathic Pain and Enlarged Nerves in Adult Noonan Syndrome and Noonan Syndrome With Multiple Lentigines: Health‐Related Quality of Life and Neurologic Symptoms

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noonan syndrome (NS) and the clinically related Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines (NSML) belong to the group of RASopathies. Although pain is not mentioned as a characteristic feature, it has recently been reported as a clinically significant problem.

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Making care audible: Musical gifts and affective reciprocity in the clinic

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract In clinical settings, music therapy is frequently received as a gift—a voluntary offering that invites but does not demand participation. Drawing on ethnographic research with music therapists and patients in Canadian and American hospitals, this article examines how clinical care is co‐constituted through practices of giving, receiving, and ...

Considerations for Initiation and Maintenance of Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa for Advanced Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background As Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses, motor fluctuations become increasingly difficult to manage with oral medications. Foslevodopa/foscarbidopa (LDp/CDp), delivered as a continuous 24‐h/day subcutaneous infusion, offers continuous levodopa delivery and stable plasma levodopa levels that reduce motor fluctuations. LDp/CDp has been

Chinese Expert Consensus on the Use of Ultrasound‐Derived Fat Fraction in the Assessment of Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (2025 Edition)

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become one of the leading causes of chronic liver diseases in China and even globally. Early non‐invasive diagnosis and grading MASLD, along with timely intervention, are crucial for assessing the disease condition and slowing the disease progression.
