Ultrasound in Women's Health: Mechanisms, Applications, and Emerging Opportunities

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
As healthcare moves toward decentralization, ultrasound technologies are evolving from strictly imaging tools in clinical settings into versatile diagnostic and therapeutic platforms, with growing roles addressing women's health needs. This review highlights how ultrasound's underlying physical mechanisms can be harnessed to reduce disparities in women'

Scalable and Customizable Single‐Atom Coatings for pH‐Universal H2O2 Electrosynthesis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A universal one‐step soot‐deposition route was developed to convert various metal‐containing paraffins into conformal single‐atom catalyst (SAC) coatings on diverse electrodes, yielding robust, efficient SAC‐coated gas diffusion electrodes for H2O2 electrosynthesis.

Short-term locomotor adaptation to a robotic ankle exoskeleton does not alter soleus Hoffmann reflex amplitude

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2010
Background To improve design of robotic lower limb exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation, it is critical to identify neural mechanisms that govern locomotor adaptation to robotic assistance.

Reflexes in response to stretch (myotatic reflexes)

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1924
Familiar to those who work with the decerebrate preparation must be the observation that passive flexion of the characteristically extended knee is felt to evoke some development of resistance of it against that passive movement. Examination by the myograph of this resistance formed the point of departure of the following observations.

Unlocking the THz Emission Potential of Sputtered Germanium Thin Films Through Structural and Optoelectronic Properties Optimization

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
An optimized RF‐sputtering process is developed for the deposition of n‐doped germanium thin films exhibiting strongly enhanced THz emission under fs‐laser excitation. By tuning deposition temperature and thickness, highly (111)‐oriented films with an effective bandgap of ∼0.77 eV and improved optoelectronic properties are achieved, leading to a ∼35 ...

Functional organisation of anterior thoracic stretch receptors in the deep-sea isopod Bathynomus doederleini: Behavioural, morphological and physiological studies [PDF]

, 2001
The relationship between segmental mobility and the organisation of thoracic stretch receptors was examined in the deep-sea isopod Bathynomus doederleini, which shows a developed adaptive behaviour during digging. The movements of segments during digging

Development of bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion in humans from a dynamical systems perspective [PDF]

, 2012
The first phase in the development 0f locomotion, pr,öary variability would occur in normal fetuses and infants, and those with Uner Tan syndrome. The neural networks for quadrupedal locomotion have apparently been transmitted epigenetically through many

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in
