Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We estimated incidence rates of avoidable hospitalizations by persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) relative to the general population. Methods We identified individuals meeting a validated case definition for RA based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD‐9‐CM) and ICD‐10‐CA codes in years ...

COVID-19 Detection from Respiratory Sounds with Hierarchical Spectrogram Transformers [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Monitoring of prevalent airborne diseases such as COVID-19 characteristically involves respiratory assessments. While auscultation is a mainstream method for preliminary screening of disease symptoms, its utility is hampered by the need for dedicated hospital visits.

Molecular Communication Theoretical Modeling and Analysis of SARS-CoV2 Transmission in Human Respiratory System [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) caused the ongoing pandemic. This pandemic devastated the world by killing more than a million people, as of October 2020. It is imperative to understand the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV2 so that novel and interdisciplinary prevention, diagnostic, and therapeutic techniques could be ...

A simple model for the outcomes of collisions between exhaled aerosol droplets and airborne particulate matter: Towards an understanding of the influence of air pollution on airborne viral transmission [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A model that predicts the outcome of collisions between droplets and particles in terms of the distribution of the droplet volume post-collision is lacking, in contrast to the case for droplet-droplet interactions. Taking existing models that successfully predict the outcomes (coalescence, stretching or reflexive separation) and post-separation ...

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.
