Bioelectronic Sensors for Neuromuscular Perception in Human‐Machine Interfaces

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in bioelectronic sensors for neuromuscular perception in human‐machine interfaces. By integrating biopotential, electrical impedance, and electrochemical sensing strategies with flexible electrode interfaces, these bioelectronic sensing systems enable intuitive, real‐time detection of muscle and nerve activity ...

Sustained Analgesic Peptide Secretion and Cell Labeling Using a Novel Genetic Modification

Cell Transplantation, 2008
Cell-based therapy for neuropathic pain could provide analgesics to local pain modulatory regions in a sustained, renewable fashion. In order to provide enhanced analgesic efficacy, transplantable cells may be engineered to produce complementary or ...

Phosphorylation and protonation of neighboring MiRP2 sites: function and pathophysiology of MiRP2-Kv3.4 potassium channels in periodic paralysis. [PDF]

, 2006
MinK-related peptide 2 (MiRP2) and Kv3.4 subunits assemble in skeletal muscle to create subthreshold, voltage-gated potassium channels. MiRP2 acts on Kv3.4 to shift the voltage dependence of activation, speed recovery from inactivation, suppress ...

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

NMDA Antagonist Peptide Supplementation Enhances Pain Alleviation by Adrenal Medullary Transplants

Cell Transplantation, 2005
Spinal transplantation of adrenal medullary chromaffin cells has been shown to decrease pain responses in several animal models. Improved potency may be possible by engineering cells to produce greater levels of naturally derived analgesics.

Hematogenous macrophage depletion reduces the fibrotic scar and increases axonal growth after spinal cord injury

Neurobiology of Disease, 2015
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to formation of a fibrotic scar that is inhibitory to axon regeneration. Recent evidence indicates that the fibrotic scar is formed by perivascular fibroblasts, but the mechanism by which they are recruited to the injury ...

Malignant lymphomas in transplantation patients: a review of the world experience. [PDF]

, 1970
Malignant lymphomas developed in 9 renal homograft recipients treated at widely separated transplantation centers. The development of these tumors appears to be an indirect complication of organ transplantation and/or the measures taken to prevent ...

Development and Validation of a Spontaneous Smile Assay [PDF]

, 2015
IMPORTANCE Smiling can be a voluntary or involuntarymovement. Facial reanimation procedures differ in their ability to restore a spontaneous smile, and an assay designed to evoke and evaluate a spontaneous smile is not available. OBJECTIVE To develop and
