Flexible Implantable Silicon Carbide Multi‐Electrode Array (MEA) for Cell Multichannel Recording and Cell Ablation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Flexible silicon carbide (SiC) microelectrode arrays enable high‐fidelity, multichannel cell extracellular recording and precise localized ablation. SiC has been extensively evaluated to persist long‐term in chronic physiological conditions while remaining robust, with excellent electrical and electrochemical stability.

Blink Reflex in Neurotrophic Keratopathy: An Electrophysiological Evaluation

, 2022
Purpose: Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a rare condition which may result in visual loss. This case review investigates if there may be an association between NK and the blink reflex in the absence of facial nerve palsy and lagophthalmos.Methods: This is

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

The Pupillary Light Reflex Reveals Greater Glaucomatous Damage at Brighter Stimulus Intensity

, 1999
Currently it is not known how the pupil light reflex is affected by optic neuropathies such as glaucoma. It is possible that pupil testing may be a more sensitive method of detecting and monitoring of progression of optic neuropathy compared to other ...

THE CAUSE OF REFLEX AFTERDISCHARGE IN THE FROG'S SPINAL CORD

, 1956
It is usually assumed that spinal reflex afterdischarge in the decerebrate or spinal animal is due to functional circuits of interneurons around which excitation can "chase its own tail" until fatigue brings the process to an end.

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.

Inhibition of Glial Activation and Subsequent Reduction in White Matter Damage through Supplementation with a Combined Extract of Wheat Bran, Citrus Peel, and Jujube in a Rat Model of Vascular Dementia

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. In our previous studies, we showed that wheat bran extract (WBE) reduced white matter damage in a rat VaD model and improved memory in a human clinical trial ...
