Geometrically Tunable Scaffold‐Free Muscle Bioconstructs for Treating Volumetric Muscle Loss

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Volumetric muscle loss is associated with traumatic muscle resulting in permanent functional impairment. Mold‐based, scaffold‐free, high‐density muscle tissue bioconstructs are developed in customizable geometric shapes and sizes. The transplanted rectangular solid‐shaped muscle bioconstructs improved muscle force recovery and tissue regeneration in ...

Multiple respiratory assessment and thresholds for noninvasive ventilation in adult patients with spinal muscular atrophy

Scientific Reports
This study aimed to examine feasibility of inspiratory muscle strength tests, such as maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) in adult patients affected by spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), as well as their ability ...

NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE AND ANAESTHESIA

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1974
Diseases affecting the neuromuscular system are numerous and not uncommon (for classification see Appendix). Almost all of the drugs used in anaesthesia have either a direct or an indirect effect on muscle, and so an understanding by anaesthetists of the neuromuscular diseases is essential in view of the universal requirement of muscle relaxation ...

Magnetic Bioprinting and Actuation of Stretchable Muscle Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Human and murine myoblasts labeled with iron oxide nanoparticles are magnetically bioprinted into wrench‐shaped tissues, which are then anchored between two magnetic needles. Mechanical stretching of these tissues enhances both their maturation and functional performance. Abstract Engineering tissues with precise, long‐lasting shapes and the capability

Recommendations for hygiene of masks and circuits in mechanically home ventilated patients

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Home mechanical ventilation requires equipment, consisting of a generator of pressure, a tubing and an interface to deliver air to the patient. Instructions for equipment maintenance are generally not based on scientific evidence.

Spatially Programmable Electroadhesive Enables In Situ Site‐Selective Functional Coupling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A light‐activated, in situ spatially programmable bioadhesive (STICH) enables microscale, site‐selective integration of bioelectronic devices with wet tissue. It achieves robust mechanical bonding and low‐impedance electrical coupling, enabling reconfigurable neuromodulation and directional electromechanical sensing in vivo and ex vivo.

Choline Ionic Liquid for Long‐Term Stable Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Choline‐based ionic liquid integrated organic electrochemical transistors (Chol‐OECTs) for improvement of performance and prolonged lifetime is demonstrated. Introduction of the ionic liquid into PEDOT:PSS and gelatin creates choline acetate ionic liquid‐infused PEDOT:PSS (CLiPS) and choline acetate‐gelatin (CAGel) electrolyte.
