A novel method of thrombelastograph analysis aids assessment of antiplatelet therapy in percutaneous coronary intervention. [PDF]
MD (Research)Background A near-patient test of responses to antiplatelet therapy would be of great value in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, at present, there are no widely accepted tests and varied definitions of “resistance”.

This project developed a smart bandage‐like patch (a microneedle array) for repairing diabetic bone damage. It intelligently senses signals from infection and inflammation, then releases its medicines in a specific, timed sequence: first an antibacterial agent, then an anti‐inflammatory agent, and finally growth factors.
