Relation between grades of intervertebral disc degeneration and occupational activities of patients with lumbar disc herniation [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2017 Background/Aim. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) occurs as consequence of combined effects of genetic, agerelated, environmental and occupational factors. Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) develops mostly due to IDD.

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Biomaterial‐Based Emergency Intervention for Secondary Spinal Cord Injury
Small Science, EarlyView.Emergency intervention using advanced biomaterials targets key pathological mechanisms to block secondary spinal cord injury (SCI) by inhibiting inflammation, reducing excitotoxicity, restoring the blood−spinal cord barrier, and limiting scar formation, which provides significant neural protection and promotes neural regeneration, offering promising ...

Emerging Triboelectric Nanogenerators for In‐Body Implantation
Small Methods, EarlyView.This review explores functional implantable triboelectric nanogenerators in biomedical applications, discussing their mechanisms, electricity generation, and design approaches. To solve postimplantation challenges, four types of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are introduced: stretchable, bioadhesive, on‐demand biodegradable, and multiresponsive ...
