Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Compact design of a redundant manipulator system and application to multiple-goal tasks with temporal constraint

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2017
This paper aims to design a compact manipulator system consisting of a 6 degree-of-freedom (dof) manipulator and a 1-dof rotary table. It proposes a new compactness measure that considers manipulator swept volume or the space occupied by the system while

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Anatomic transtibial single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [PDF]

The Egyptian Orthopaedic Journal, 2014
ObjectiveMany surgeons perform anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction through the anteromedial portal due to the difficulty in reaching the anatomic femoral insertion through the transtibial technique. A number of authors have described

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Tuning a PD+ Controller by Means of Dynamic Optimization in a Mobile Manipulator With Coupled Dynamics

IEEE Access, 2019
This article presents the development of a dynamic optimization method for controller tuning. This is proposed because most traditional tuning methods for complex coupled dynamic models are based on experience, and thus lacking accuracy.
