Beyond the Camera: Epidermal Sensor Platforms for Intelligent Facial Expression Recognition and Interactive Human Monitoring

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Skin‐conformal epidermal sensors enable camera‐free intelligent facial monitoring by converting facial deformation and muscle activity into electrical signals through piezoresistive, capacitive, electrophysiologic, and self‐powered mechanisms. Coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), these platforms support facial expression recognition, human ...

Ocular and Systemic Findings in COL2A1 and COL11A1 Stickler Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stickler syndrome is most commonly caused by variants in COL2A1 and COL11A1 genes. The purpose of this study was to describe genetic variants and phenotypes in COL2A1 and COL11A1 Stickler syndrome. We performed a retrospective genotype–phenotype evaluation of COL2A1 and COL11A1 Stickler syndrome subjects. Thirty‐two subjects with COL2A1 and 13

Integrating Genetic Modifier Genotype With Serum Proteomics in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Clinical Trials Links LTBP4 Genetic Modifier to IL‐23/CD93 Pathways in Muscle

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic modifiers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) that alter disease severity or response to therapy have been reported using natural history or registry data sets of older corticosteroid‐treated patients. We tested associations of genetic modifiers on motor function outcomes in young (4 to < 7 years) steroid naïve clinical trial ...

Ocular biometry and anthropometric measurements in young myopes – A case–control study

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: The prevalence of myopia in the 5–15-year age group in India has been 7.5% over the past four decades. While ocular growth and physical growth occur simultaneously during early life, the existence of a common regulatory system for both is ...

Biologics Adoption in CRSwNP and the Associated Decline in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: A Longitudinal Claims Database Study

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biologic treatments were introduced for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in 2019. Treatment algorithms for medically refractory CRSwNP remain open, with patients choosing among surgery, biologics, or both. Real‐world utilization of surgery and biologics remains incompletely characterized.

Ocular Biometry and Their Correlations with Ocular and Anthropometric Measurements Among Ethiopian Adults.

Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2020
To determine the average values of ocular biometry dimensions and investigate their inter-correlations and their association with anthropometric measurements among Ethiopian adults with healthy eyes.A cross-sectional study was undertaken from June 2018 to July 2019. A total of 400 eyes of 200 subjects were included in the study.

A self‐retaining mouth prop for intraoral access during periodontal surgery in rat models: A technical note

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A mouth prop designed to mimic the oral cavity of rats was made that provided stable, self‐retaining retraction, thereby facilitating oral surgery on rodents. Compared to conventional methods, it decreased surgical time, operator fatigue, and slippage. Its use led to higher efficiency and fewer complications and it was cost effective to produce.

Developmental morphology of claspers and clasper‐glands during maturation in Potamotrygon wallacei (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygoninae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...
