Exploring the application of ferroelectret nanogenerators in medical engineering

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Flexible devices derived from piezoelectric materials have gained considerable attention due to their exceptional biocompatibility. Among these, ferroelectret nanogenerators (FENG) is a novel type of flexible piezoelectric device that integrates self‐powering, actuation, and sensing capabilities.

Low‐Strip Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty Opens the Internal Nasal Valve in Tension Nose Deformity

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of dorsal preservation on internal nasal valve dimensions in noses with an overprojected cartilaginous septum. Ten postmortem human specimen heads with a tension nose deformity were imaged using ultra‐high‐resolution photon‐counting detector computed tomography, before and after low‐strip let down.

Synchrotron‐Based Trauma Assessment of Robotic Electrode Insertions in Cochlear Implantation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Minimizing intraoperative trauma during cochlear implant electrode insertion is crucial for preserving residual hearing, and efforts have been made to introduce robotic systems for electrode insertion. On temporal bone specimens, the OTODRIVE system demonstrated its ability to enable consistent and controlled electrode placement while minimizing trauma

Atomic Force Microscopy of Emulsions and Their Interfacial Nanoparticles

Natural Sciences, EarlyView.
Emulsion droplets and their interfacial nanoparticles were imaged under water by atomic force microscopy. Changes in the sample were triggered by increasing the applied mechanical force. Mechanical data was overlaid on the topography data for an improved understanding of the properties and behavior of the droplets and particles.

The Relationship Between Daily Device Use and Subjective Hearing Abilities in Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Increased hours of cochlear implant (CI) use have been shown to improve auditory and speech recognition outcomes in children with hearing loss. However, the impact of hours of CI use over time on patient‐reported functional hearing skills is unknown.
