Functional Dendrimer Nanogels for DNA Delivery and Gene Therapy of Tumors
Dendrimer nanogels are designed by emulsion‐free method, endowing them with dual‐active groups, o‐hydroxyl amine, temperature‐responsiveness, polyampholyte property, and self‐triggered aminolysis. With these unique characters, dendrimer nanogels display high gene transfection and therapeutic efficacies with low side effects, thus solving the dilemma ...

A machine learning approach utilizes micro inertial measurement units (μIMUs) for noninvasive sarcopenia screening through a sit‐to‐stand test. With 53 older participants wearing IMUs, 510 features are extracted across four motion phases. Five algorithms (support vector machine, K‐nearest neighbors, decision tree, linear discriminant analysis, and ...

StraightTrack: Towards Mixed Reality Navigation System for Percutaneous K-wire Insertion [PDF]
In percutaneous pelvic trauma surgery, accurate placement of Kirschner wires (K-wires) is crucial to ensure effective fracture fixation and avoid complications due to breaching the cortical bone along an unsuitable trajectory. Surgical navigation via mixed reality (MR) can help achieve precise wire placement in a low-profile form factor.

Children With 22.Q.11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Sleep‐Disordered Breathing and Management
ABSTRACT Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) are predisposed to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to an abnormal craniofacial anatomy with pharyngeal hypotonia, retrognathia, micrognathia, and glossoptosis. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and management of OSA in a cohort of children with 22q11DS.

Acquiring Submillimeter-Accurate Multi-Task Vision Datasets for Computer-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery [PDF]
Advances in computer vision, particularly in optical image-based 3D reconstruction and feature matching, enable applications like marker-less surgical navigation and digitization of surgery. However, their development is hindered by a lack of suitable datasets with 3D ground truth.
