Mechanisms for the Age-related Increase in Fatigability of the Knee Extensors in Old and Very Old Adults [PDF]
The mechanisms for the age-related increase in fatigability during high-velocity contractions in old and very old adults ({greater than or equal to}80 yrs) are unresolved. Moreover, whether the increased fatigability with advancing age and the underlying

A skin‐conformal wearable device based on laser‐induced graphene is developed for continuous strain measurement across the circumference of the forearm for gesture recognition and hand‐tracking applications. Post material optimization, the strain sensor array is integrated with a wearable wireless readout circuit for real‐time control of a robotic arm,

Perioperative and anesthetic deaths: toxicological and medico legal aspects [PDF]
Background: Anesthesia has become safer during decades, though there is still a preventable mortality; the complexity of medical and surgical interventions, increasingly older and sicker patients, has created a host of new hazards in anesthesiology.

A Wearable Soft Actuator for Directional Tactile Stimulation: Design and Testing
A wearable actuator able to produce directional tactile stimulation is obtained by embedding a planar shape memory spring in silicone matrix. The matrix is designed taking into account skin characteristics and leveraging its multifunctionality: it acts as a bias load, improves the thermal behavior of the spring and wearability.
