Ion‐Pair‐Tuned Ionogels for Broad‐Range Linear Pressure Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ionogels engineered through ion‐pair tuning extend the linear sensing range of capacitive pressure sensors. By balancing ionic mobility and polarizability within the polymer matrix, this approach mitigates dielectric saturation and maintains a stable pressure response across a broad operating range.

Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Young Adults with Strabismus in India [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
Introduction: Strabismus has negative psycho-social and functional effects in adults. The impact can be minimised with surgery. However, in a low-income setting, it is important to evaluate the level of impact and prioritise the target population for

How optometrists record corneal staining [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 2011
  The aim of this study was to determine current approaches adopted by optometrists to the recording of corneal staining following fluorescein instillation.  An anonymous 'record-keeping task' was sent to all 756 practitioners who are members of the Queensland Division of Optometrists Association Australia.

Molecular mechanism of ischemic postconditioning in promoting diabetic ischemic brain injury repair via the microRNA‐34a–BDNF–SIX3 signaling axis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Diabetes combined with ischemic stroke (DMIS) exacerbates brain infarct size and neuronal damage compared to nondiabetic ischemic stroke (IS). This study reveals that microRNA‐34a (miR‐34a) plays a key role in DMIS pathogenesis: miR‐34a directly targets and suppresses brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Sine oculis homeobox 3 (SIX3), promoting

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Dual Action of Dipyridamole in Experimental Rheumatoid Arthritis: Suppression of Joint Inflammation and Upregulation of Muscle Anabolism via Adenosine and AMPK pathways

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Introduction Rheumatoid sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is a frequent comorbidity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), linked to prolonged, severe systemic inflammation. Purinergic signaling (adenosine, AMP, and ATP) plays a crucial role in inflammation, myogenesis, and muscle hypertrophy.

Novel application of gamification to support undergraduate anatomy: Student perceptions and performance

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anatomy is a foundational component of various medical and paramedical disciplines. Existing research has suggested that games or game elements can improve student interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) anatomy. This project builds on previous gamification and serious game work and incorporates new anatomy‐based games into undergraduate anatomy ...
