Cardiac Organoid Model Inspired Micro‐Robot Smart Patch to Treat Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The heart organoid model exhibits the acidic microenvironment characteristic of myocardial infarction, which emerges as a pivotal force propelling the movement of micro‐robots. These micro‐robots, administered through microneedles, can penetrate deep into the tissue, effectively delivering therapeutic payloads to facilitate heart repair.

Nurse Staffing under Absenteeism: A Distributionally Robust Optimization Approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
We study the nurse staffing problem under random nurse demand and absenteeism. While the demand uncertainty is exogenous (stemming from the random patient census), the absenteeism uncertainty is \emph{endogenous}, i.e., the number of nurses who show up for work partially depends on the nurse staffing level.

Therapeutic Potential of Manuka Honey Microbubble Dressing in Wound Management

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The manuka honey microbubble dressing innovation utilizes high‐density stainless steel mesh technology to generate microscopic honey bubbles achieving S. aureus elimination by fine‐tuning factors such as microbubble size, MH microbubble consumption, and treatment duration. This pioneering approach transforms traditional wound healing and may reduce the

A Flexible Mixed Integer Programming framework for Nurse Scheduling [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
In this paper, a nurse-scheduling model is developed using mixed integer programming model. It is deployed to a general care ward to replace and automate the current manual approach for scheduling. The developed model differs from other similar studies in that it optimizes both hospitals requirement as well as nurse preferences by allowing flexibility ...

AAVR Expression is Essential for AAV Vector Transduction in Sensory Hair Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Decreased sensitivity to AAV vector transduction in the outer hair cells (OHCs) of adult mice is primarily attributed to reduction of AAVR (Kiaa0319l; Au040320). Knockout of AAVR reduces AAV vector transduction efficiency in both inner hair cells (IHCs) and OHCs in neonatal mice.

A Greedy Double Swap Heuristic for Nurse Scheduling [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
One of the key challenges of nurse scheduling problem (NSP) is the number of constraints placed on preparing the timetable, both from the regulatory requirements as well as the patients' demand for the appropriate nursing care specialists. In addition, the preferences of the nursing staffs related to their work schedules add another dimension of ...

Long‐Lasting Auditory and Vestibular Recovery Following Gene Replacement Therapy in a Novel Usher Syndrome Type 1c Mouse Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that gene replacement therapy using the AAV2/Anc80L65 virus can successfully restore hearing and balance in Ush1c knockout mice. The treatment leads to lasting improvements in both auditory and vestibular functions, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic approach for genetic hearing loss and vestibular disorders in humans ...
