Objective sleep parameters and diurnal blood pressure in concurrent hypertension and type 2 diabetes
Abstract Background Hypertension is a primary cardiovascular complication in type 2 diabetes associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is essential for capturing circadian BP variation, which is closely influenced by sleep. Methods Twenty patients (63.75 ± 4.44 years old, 40% female, duration of T2D:

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
