A novel β‐cyclodextrin/bile acid‐based slide‐ring hydrogel was prepared via precise host–guest recognition and photopolymerization. This smart hydrogel dressing exhibited skin‐adaptive mechanical properties, pH‐responsive antibacterial activity, and integrated multi‐signal sensing (temperature, blood, and pressure) for advanced wound management ...

Investigation of the surface integrity of mechano-chemically finished powder metallurgy gears [PDF]
Automotive gears are facing stringent requirements regarding weight and functional surfaces, especially in view of the electric powertrain. To achieve these demands, powder metallurgy gears need to be finished using grinding, and in certain cases ...

Treatment of chronic pain associated with nocturnal bruxism with botulinum toxin. A prospective and randomized clinical study [PDF]
To evaluate the role of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the treatment of pain associated with nocturnal bruxism. Fifty subjects reporting nocturnal bruxism were recruited for a randomized clinical trial. Twenty five bruxers were injected with botulinum

The Interplay between Chemistry and Mechanics in the Transduction of a Mechanical Signal into a Biochemical Function [PDF]
There are many processes in biology in which mechanical forces are generated. Force-bearing networks can transduce locally developed mechanical signals very extensively over different parts of the cell or tissues.

Loss of Temporal Inhibition of Nociceptive Information Is Associated With Aging and Bodily Pain [PDF]
An age-related decline in endogenous pain inhibitory processes likely places older adults at an increased risk for chronic pain. Limited research indicates that older adults may be characterized by deficient offset analgesia, an inhibitory temporal ...

Magnitude-Dependent Omori Law: Empirical Study and Theory
We propose a new physically-based ``multifractal stress activation'' model of earthquake interaction and triggering based on two simple ingredients: (i) a seismic rupture results from activated processes giving an exponential dependence on the local ...
