Nacre‐inspired layered composite with excellent mechanical support and osteogenic potential for cervical interbody cage

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The cervical interbody cage needs to take both biomechanical and biological requirements into account. Here, a new‐style degradable, multicomponent, and bioinspired nacre‐like cervical interbody cage composite, which exhibits promising mechanical‐support‐related behavior and osteogenesis‐related potential, is designed and prepared.

Orthostatic Myoclonus—Clinical and Electrophysiological Features in a Large Retrospective Cohort

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Orthostatic myoclonus is characterized by irregular, lower limb myoclonic bursts during stance and is a major cause of postural instability and falls. However, studies are limited, and little is known about its pathophysiology. Objectives We sought to define the clinical and electrophysiological features of orthostatic myoclonus in ...

Improvements in interoceptive sensibility, pain and functional clinical outcome measures after participation in an interdisciplinary pain management program

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Altered interoception, the sense of signals from inside the body, is linked to chronic pain. No studies to date have examined whether interoceptive sensibility, one's self‐reported beliefs about the body and tendencies to be internally focused, changes following participation in an interdisciplinary pain management program (IPMP ...
