Joule‐Assisted Nanotherapeutic Urethral Stent (JANUS) for Spatiotemporal Theragenerative Treatment of Urethral Strictures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Joule‐assisted nanotherapeutic urethral stent harnesses a smart, biodegradable magnesium stent to orchestrate spatiotemporal theragenerative therapy for urethral strictures. Magnetically induced Joule heating enables on‐demand drug release and bacterial ablation, while simultaneously guiding urothelial regeneration.

Cold Atmospheric Plasma Selectively Disrupts Breast Cancer Growth in a Bioprinted 3D Tumor‐Stroma Co‐Culture Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This research introduces a cold plasma‐based platform for treating breast cancer bone metastases. Using a novel bioprinted 3D tumor‐stroma model, it highlights the selective antitumor effects of plasma‐generated reactive species. The platform aims to advance non‐invasive therapeutic strategies, offering potential clinical applications in controlling ...

UNRECOGNIZED FRACTURES OF THE HIP. [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1908
This article is prompted by the belief that fractures of the hip in adults occur more often than is usually admitted, and that not infrequently the true condition is masked by a diagnosis of sprain or bruise. That these fractures are often unrecognized can be attributed mainly to two reasons: The trivial fall causing the injury, such as stumbling ...
