A human cell‐based microphysiological system integrates engineered muscle tissues with an inflamed adipose–macrophage niche to model obese microenvironment‐induced muscle dysfunction. Muscle contraction is quantified by pillar deflection coupled with computational stiffness estimation. Secretome and transcriptomic profiling reveal inflammation‐mediated

Inadequate Neuromuscular Blockade Due to Donepezil During General Anaesthesia for Cataract Surgery: A Case Report [PDF]
Donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to treat dementia and Alzheimer's disease, can interfere with non-depolarising neuromuscular blockers by increasing synaptic acetylcholine, potentially leading to inadequate neuromuscular blockade.

The applications of sub-Tenon's anaesthesia for canine ophthalmic surgery : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Veterinary Science (MVSc) at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]
Sub-Tenon's anaesthesia is an indispensable anaesthetic technique in human ophthalmic surgery. It produces highly effective regional anaesthesia and has a significantly lower complication rate than the previously used peribulbar and retrobulbar ...

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation
This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating
