Association of preoperative psychopharmacological treatment and the risk of new chronic opioid use after hip and knee arthroplasty: a Danish registry-based cohort study of 73,033 procedures

Acta Orthopaedica
Background and purpose: Chronic opioid use is of great concern worldwide. Thus, identification of risk factors for new chronic opioid use (COU) after hip and knee arthroplasty is imperative to target preventive strategies. Depression/anxiety may be risk

Reducing Personalization Time and Energy Cost While Walking Outdoors with a Portable Exosuit

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Rapid Real‐World Optimization! An AF‐based human‐in‐the‐loop optimization strategy rapidly personalizes a portable hip extension exosuit for incline walking. Real‐time Bayesian optimization of assistive force significantly reduces metabolic energy—up to 16.2%—while converging in just 3 min 24 s.

Bleeding‐Mimetic Damage‐Detecting and Self‐Healing Modular Skin for Inflatable Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A damage‐detecting and self‐healing system inspired by the human bleeding mechanism is developed for inflatable structures, using a liquid conductive elastomeric material enclosed in a small pouch. This material, composed of uncured elastomer, its curing agent, conductive particles, and a dispersant, solidifies only after being exposed to air and ...

Photocatalytic Polyene Cyclization to Cyclopentyl Thioethers with Consecutive Quaternary Centers in Fluorinated Alcohols

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.
A photocatalytic strategy enables efficient cyclization of polyenes to cyclopentyl thioethers with consecutive all‐carbon quaternary centers. Using 2,4,6‐triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate in 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoroisopropanol, the method proceeds via a thiyl radical mechanism, offering high yields and good diastereoselectivities.
