Comparison of a Miniaturized Implantable Two‐Stage Rotodynamic Blood Pump to Equivalent Single‐Stage Concepts

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study aims to evaluate the potential of a multistage pump design to enhance hemocompatibility in left ventricular assist devices. We found that the two‐stage concept offers favorable hemolysis measures compared to single‐stage designs, as the reduction in peak shear stresses outweighs the disadvantage associated with prolonged residence time ...

Implications of the Tongue's Anatomy and Biomechanics for Breastfeeding

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The human tongue is a major player for breathing, swallowing, sucking, chewing and speech. Breastfeeding is the initial training for its subsequent tasks. Thus, we aimed to explore the tongue's anatomy and biomechanics with conclusions on breastfeeding, essential for healthy development.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Out with the old, in with the new? A retrospective comparison of malleable erectile implants in phalloplasty

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objective To compare the long‐term outcomes of the two main types of malleable erectile implants after phalloplasty in transgender men: models originally designed for cisgender men (conventional models) or the more recently developed Zephyr Surgical Implants (Geneva, Switzerland) female‐to‐male 100 implant (ZSI FtM 100) specifically for phalloplasty ...
