Effect of a lubricating jelly paste on swallowing pills in patients with subjective swallowing difficulty: a pilot randomised controlled trial

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pill‐swallowing difficulty is common yet under‐recognised, and patients rarely seek or receive support from healthcare professionals. Lubricating jelly pastes are widely available in Japan, yet evidence for their effectiveness in pill administration remains limited. The PILL‐5 enables validated, self‐reported screening of clinically

Gait alterations increase friction of degenerated articular cartilage: A tribological study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the effect of gait alterations associated with osteoarthritis (OA) on the frictional properties of porcine articular cartilage (AC) in intact and degenerative conditions. Methods Forty‐eight cylindrical AC samples were harvested from 12 porcine femur condyles and equally divided between four groups with n = 12 samples ...

An ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy system for studying real‐time pressure effects on enzyme activity

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...

Cobalt‐Doped Diamond‐Like Carbon Coatings Combined With Functionalised Polymers for Enhanced Tribological Performance

Lubrication Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, doped diamond‐like carbon (DLC) coatings combined with functionalised copolymers have gained attention as a lubrication concept. While silicon‐doped DLC has been widely studied, polymer‐assisted lubrication on other doped DLC systems remains less explored.
