Nature‐Inspired Innovation in Electrical Engineering Technologies and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review investigates how nature‐inspired design principles revolutionize electrical engineering by translating biological mechanisms, such as sensing, actuation, energy conversion, and neural processing, into advanced intelligent technologies. Through interdisciplinary integration, biomimetic strategies enable efficient, adaptive, and sustainable ...

3D Membrane Microstructures for Increased Efficiency in Blood‐Gas Transfer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Oxygenators for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are based on hollow fiber membranes. They are associated with many complications, such as thrombosis or systemic inflammation during the therapy. By implementing 3D membrane microstructures for oxygenators, the transfer efficiency of oxygen and carbon dioxide is improved, which can lead to ...

Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

Role of non invasive ventilation in limiting re-intubation after planned extubation

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013
Introduction: In critically ill adult patients, particularly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), early use of non invasive ventilation (NIV) after weaning may be associated with the decrease of mortality.

Characteristics and outcomes in children on long-term mechanical ventilation: the experience of a pediatric tertiary center in Rome

open access: yesItalian Journal of Pediatrics, 2020
Background Children with chronic respiratory failure and/or sleep disordered breathing due to a broad range of diseases may require long-term ventilation to be managed at home.

Pulmonary‐Targeted Nanoparticles Interrupt the Malignant Mechanical and Biochemical Signaling Crosstalk for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) progression is driven by TGF‐β induced biochemical signals and mechanical signals from increased ECM stiffness. Pulmonary‐targeted VB‐RT NPs not only eliminate excessive ROS and penetrate the dense ECM collagen barrier via NO release, but also simultaneously interrupt the persistent malignant between mechanical and ...

Interior Decorative VOCs Elevate T Cell‐Mediated Obstructive Lung Disease Risks via Osteogenesis‐Driven Lymphoid‐Biased Hematopoiesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes a whole‐body inhalation model to reveal that interior decorative VOCs exposure persistently elevates alveolar T cells. This increase is attributed to lymphoid‐biased hematopoiesis in the bone marrow, which is further driven by IL‐6/IL‐17A‐mediated osteogenic differentiation.
