Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Learning beyond the lab: A gamified approach to anatomy education in a museum‐based experience

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anatomy education, traditionally rooted in descriptive instruction and cadaveric dissection, is undergoing a significant transformation through the integration of educational technologies and contemporary pedagogical strategies. Among these, active learning methodologies, such as gamified‐based learning, have emerged as approaches designed to ...

Nasopharyngeal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in a rural population, Sierra Leone

International Journal of Medical Microbiology
Nasopharyngeal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus is a risk factor for subsequent infection. Isolates from colonization can therefore provide important information on virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance when data from clinical isolates are lacking.

Dose‐related propofol resistance in COVID‐19 patients: Altered drug plasma levels, mechanistic insights from neuronal‐derived extracellular vesicles and miRNA analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Critical care for COVID‐19 patients presents unique challenges, particularly in sedation management. Patients demonstrate notable dose‐related resistance to propofol, potentially due to complex pharmacokinetic alterations. Emerging evidence suggests that plasma extracellular vesicle‐associated miRNA represents valuable predictive ...

The effect of military load carriage on ground reaction forces [PDF]

, 2007
Load carriage is an inevitable part of military life both during training and operations. Loads carried are frequently as high as 60% bodyweight, and this increases injury risk. In the military, load is carried in a backpack (also referred to as a Bergen)

Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...
