Thermoresponsive Gel‐Yarn Composites Enable Low‐Temperature Tensile Actuation in Twisted and Coiled Polymer Artificial Muscles

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Thermoresponsive gel–yarn composites integrate poly(MAA‐co‐OEGMA) hydrogels with twisted and coiled polyester yarns to enable reversible tensile actuation between 25°C and 50°C. Hydrogel swelling and deswelling generate internal stresses that drive lengthwise actuation, achieving isotonic strains up to 39%.

On Order Restricted Inference in Multi‐Step Stage Life Testing for a General Family of Distributions

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recently, k$$ k $$‐step stage life testing (SLT) has been proposed by Laumen and Cramer (2021) as a natural extension of progressive censoring with fixed censoring times (PC‐FCT) as well as of simple step‐stress accelerated life testing (SSALT).

Median Effective Volume of 0.2% Ropivacaine for Ultrasound‐Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block in Children Aged 6–10 Years: A Prospective Dose‐Finding Study Using Up‐and‐Down Sequential Allocation

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the median effective volume (EV50) of 0.2% ropivacaine for ultrasound‐guided axillary brachial plexus block (ABPB) in children aged 6–10 years, using the Dixon up‐and‐down method. The EV50 was 0.350 mL/kg (95% CI: 0.197–0.362 mL/kg), calculated by isotonic regression and bootstrapping.

Effective dose of intranasal remimazolam for preoperative sedation in preschool children: a dose-finding study using Dixon’s up-and-down method

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Background:Most preschool children are distressed during anesthesia induction. While current pharmacological methods are useful, there is a need for further optimization to an “ideal” standard.

Apigenin Protects Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Regulating Trx1 Through Binding to PRDX2

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most severe stroke subtype with high mortality and disability rates. Although apigenin has shown cerebroprotective potential in preclinical studies, its mechanism of action, particularly in hypertensive ICH, remains poorly understood.

Comparative predictive accuracy of machine learning versus traditional statistical methods for diabetes‐related complications: A systematic review and analysis

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
This systematic review of 36 studies comparing machine learning with traditional statistical models for predicting diabetes‐related complications found modest discrimination gains with ensemble approaches, particularly random forest and gradient boosting.

Myo1g Mediates NKR‐P1C Expression in Primary Mouse NK Cells and Participates in Cytotoxicity

Immunology, EarlyView.
In this study we analysed the participation of Myosin 1g in the development and functions of murine natural killer (NK) cells; we found that Myosin 1g is expressed in murine‐activated primary NK cells from the spleen. Additionally, in the absence of Myosin 1g, correlates with a reduced expression of NKR‐P1C but not of CD49b or NKp46.

A non-parametric framework for estimating threshold limit values

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2005
Background To estimate a threshold limit value for a compound known to have harmful health effects, an 'elbow' threshold model is usually applied. We are interested on non-parametric flexible alternatives.
