Developing and Evaluating a Laboratory‐Based Frailty Index for the Prediction of Long‐Term Health Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to construct and evaluate the first laboratory‐based frailty index (FI‐Lab) for predicting adverse outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to compare its predictive ability to that of an existing clinical FI. Methods We used data from a single‐center prospective cohort of adult patients with SLE whose baseline visit ...

MOF‐Derived Transition Metal Carbide@Electroactive Polypyrrole Nanohybrid‐Based High‐Performance and Stretchable Multimodal Patch for Perspiration Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A high‐performance stretchable multimodal sweat‐sensing patch is developed by integrating a MOF‐derived molybdenum carbide nano‐octahedron/polypyrrole (MoCx‐Oct@PPy) nanohybrid onto SEBS‐transferred laser‐engraved graphene electrodes. The nanohybrid‐based patch incorporates four sensors for the monitoring of glucose, vitamin C, Na+, and pH in sweat ...

Surrogate‐Optimized Flow‐Guided Miniature Condenser for Rapid Exhaled Glucose Detection

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A surrogate‐optimized miniature condenser guides humid exhaled flow toward cold surfaces to accelerate exhaled breath condensate collection. By improving vapor access within a compact footprint, the design increases sample yield. This enables post‐collection enrichment and rapid colorimetric glucose detection from dilute exhaled biomarkers within a 5 ...
