Depiction Fidelity and Specificity in Direct MRI of Collagen: Addressing Signal Decay at the Microsecond Timescale

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Gap‐filled zero echo time (ZTE) acquisitions combined with dedicated short‐T2 hardware enable direct collagen imaging on the timescale of macromolecular (MM) signals, with T2s ˜ 10 μs. However, present methods offer limited depiction fidelity, and their specificity towards MM content is poorly understood. This work presents methodology

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI) Surgery for Naturalistic Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Loss of limb function remains a significant public health challenge affecting millions of people worldwide, causing high rates of disability, unemployment, and chronic pain. Current neuroprosthetic devices are limited by unintuitive control and poor long‐term embodiment.

Validity and agreement of bioelectrical impedance equations against dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry for muscle mass assessment in patients on hemodialysis: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Low muscle mass is common in patients on hemodialysis (HD), and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) predictive equations have been proposed as an alternative for estimating muscle mass. This study aimed to analyze the validity and agreement of different BIA‐based prediction equations against dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA)

Biomimetic robots driven by smart materials: Motion forms, stimulation methods and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic robots enhance adaptability by mimicking biological systems, but rigid materials limit performance. Smart materials with stimuli responsiveness and shape adaptability enable more flexible actuation and improved environmental interaction.

From hypothesis testing toward inference to the best explanation: A PEEBI testimonial structure for abductive studies in strategy

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Though scholars employ abduction, there is no agreed‐upon structure to reporting their findings. Moreover, the traditional hypo‐deductive reasoning structure does not align with the epistemology of abduction. We propose an abductive testimonial structure, termed PEEBI, which consists of five sections in which the authors take ...
