Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI) Surgery for Naturalistic Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Loss of limb function remains a significant public health challenge affecting millions of people worldwide, causing high rates of disability, unemployment, and chronic pain. Current neuroprosthetic devices are limited by unintuitive control and poor long‐term embodiment.

The effect of different designs of custom foot orthoses on pain and balance in individuals with plantar fasciitis: A randomized controlled trial with 6‐month follow‐up

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common cause of heel pain that significantly affects daily activities. Although custom foot orthoses (CFOs) are widely used to treat this condition, there is limited evidence comparing different orthotic designs and their effects on balance parameters.

Predictability of obstructive sleep apnea with a somesthetic screening score: Development and preliminary validation in a prospective study

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
This prospective study developed a two‐step clinical scoring system for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening based on patients’ somesthetic perception of oropharyngeal airflow. The Intermediate Score (IS ≥ 7.5) achieved 73% sensitivity and 77% specificity (AUC = 0.7754; OR = 8.96).

Robotic Palpation for Spatiotemporal Arterial Pulse Quantification and Mapping Using Multilevel Microdome‐Based Soft Pressure Sensors

Small, EarlyView.
This study presents the development of multilevel pressure‐sensitive layers replicated from liquid‐metal‐based structures for optimizing soft pressure sensors in robotic palpation. This approach enhances sensitivity and range for subtle arterial displacement detection.

Research Progress on Upper Airway Cough Syndrome

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) has been identified as a significant contributor to chronic cough in various national guidelines. However, the complexity of its pathogenesis, the lack of clarity surrounding its diagnostic criteria, and its overlap with other etiologies of chronic cough present considerable challenges in both diagnosis and ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Cannabigerol reverses mechanical allodynia through α2A‐adrenergic modulation of thalamocortical signaling in chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and treatment‐resistant side effect of platinum‐based chemotherapy, characterised by mechanical allodynia. Cannabigerol (CBG), a non‐psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown antinociceptive potential, but its site and mechanism of action remain unclear.
