Non‐Invasive Multidimensional Capacitive Sensing for In Vivo Traumatic Brain Injury Monitoring
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Single‐electrode, multidimensional capacitive sensors noninvasively assess cerebral autoregulation and compliance for traumatic brain injury monitoring. ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability, but invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is risky, and current non‐invasive methods lack the resolution and ...

Art: Tate Modern — The Switch House [PDF]
British Journal of General Practice, 2016 Tate Modern opened in grubby Southwark in 2001. I was there, a cub deputy editor at the BJGP . To general astonishment, Nick Serota (now Sir but still insistently Nick), director of the Tate Gallery, had chosen a grand but derelict power station, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in the 1950s, as a home for the Tate’s collection of modern art, mainly ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
