MASLD Is Associated With Decreased General Health Perception, Quality of Life and Work Productivity in a Low Fibrosis Population

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Data on quality of life in a low fibrosis prevalence metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) cohort are scarce, as previous research has focused on advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. This study examined the association between steatosis and general and mental health, as well as productivity in patients in ...

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...
