Azimuthal Equidistant Mapping and Projection of Head CT Scans for Fracture Visualization

IEEE Access
Skull fractures of the base and facial regions of the skull are challenging to identify, even by expert radiologists. The intricate nature and subtle features of such fractures, demand meticulous attention and ample time allocation to assure effective ...

Micro and Nanostructural Diversity of Lizard Osteoderm Capping Tissue in Relation to Mechanical Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows that lizard osteoderm capping tissue is a hyper‐mineralized hydroxyapatite layer consistently covering the superficial osteoderm surface in those species studied here, yet it varies greatly in morphology, nanostructure, and mechanical performance across species.

The causal effect of schizophrenia on fractures and bone mineral density: a comprehensive two-sample Mendelian randomization study of European ancestry

BMC Psychiatry, 2023
Background Schizophrenia was clinically documented to co-occur with fractures and aberrant bone mineral density (BMD), but the potential causal relationship remained unclear. This study aimed to test the causal effects between schizophrenia and fractures

Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: A Powerful Tool in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work is a comprehensive revision of bioactive glasses (BGs), pioneered by Prof. L.L. Hench, which are key in bone repair and regenerative medicine. Sol–gel methods and mesoporous designs enhanced their bioactivity, ions, and drug delivery. BGs now support gene therapy and 3D‐printed scaffolds, enabling personalized, multifunctional treatments in ...

Harnessing Advances in Bone Tissue Engineering for Design of Bone‐on‐Chip Systems

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bone‐on‐chip (BoC) systems demonstrate significant potential as next‐generation models to study human (patho)physiology and evaluate new therapies. However, progress toward functional, human‐like BoCs has been hindered by the structural and functional complexity of bone. This perspective discusses how insights from bone tissue engineering can guide BoC

Neuroimmune Microenvironment Reprogramming via Immuno‐piezoelectric Transducers for Synergistic Stem Cell Therapy in Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel immuno‐piezoelectric transducer is innovatively developed. This device promotes neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation and maturation via ultrasound‐induced electrical stimulation and it amplifies the therapeutic efficacy of NSC in traumatic brain injury (TBI) by modulating the immune microenvironment. This piezoelectric transducer with “immune‐

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

FRACTURE OF THE SKULL [PDF]

Archives of Surgery, 1921
SYNOPSIS This paper is an effort ( a )to establish a routine examination for all head injuries possibly associated with fractures, and ( b ) so to classify fractures that a more or less definite policy of treatment may be followed. The recommendation is made that the house surgeons of all hospitals be instructed that, on admission, these measures ...

Dynamic Fibrous Hydrogels for Stem Cell Homing and In Situ Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A dynamic fibrous hydrogel (DFH) is developed by covalent crosslinking of gelatin with tea‐derived trichomes, which integrates the structural and compositional fidelity of native extracellular matrix with photothermal and oxidative responsiveness, introducing a novel “stem cell recruits stem cell” strategy that orchestrates co‐homing of endogenous and ...
