Characteristics of Cerebral Palsy in the Midwestern US

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong motor disability worldwide. Yet, data is limited on how CP manifests in the US. Our objective was to characterize and determine factors affecting functional outcomes in a large population of young people with CP in the Midwestern US.

The Economic Burden of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise the economic impact of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on households, health systems, and society in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Methods Electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL were searched using keywords related to RA and cost of illness.

Tribology of ZrC Coatings and Spherical Tips Acquired with Extraordinarily Stiff, Metal Atomic Force Microscopy Probes

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this research, ZrC coatings are evaluated against various counterprobes at the microscale using novel super‐stiff atomic force microscopy cantilevers. The chemical composition of the coating is shown to be an important factor influencing coating hardness and Young's modulus, while surface roughness, counterprobe hardness, and surface energy are the ...

Soft Beats: A Dielectric Elastomer‐Based Ventricular Assist Device for Next‐Gen Heart Failure Management

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The dielectric elastomer‐based electropneumatic device (DE‐EPD) is a vacuum‐assisted ventricular assist device (VAD) that delivers high performance (85 mmHg, 6.8 L min−1) with low power consumption. Unlike traditional motor‐driven VADs, it is lightweight, quiet, energy‐efficient, and provides pulsatile flow. Validated in a simulated circulation system,

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...
