Computed Tomography‐ and Photoacoustic Imaging‐Active Bioresorbable Electrospun Bismuth Nanoparticle‐Infused Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A polymeric graft loaded with radiopaque bismuth nanoparticles is expected to undergo gradual polymer resorption and nanoparticle release. This design enables noninvasive, multimodal monitoring of device integrity, patency, and degradation using computed tomography alongside ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging over 12 weeks.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

An understanding of ‘strengths’ and ‘strengths based approach’ within older people from ethnic minorities in the UK. A qualitative systematic review [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

NIHR Open Research
Background The strengths-based approach (SBP) shifts the focus away from a deficits approach to explore people’s potential to achieve personal outcomes, wellbeing, and promotes independence through collaborative conversations.

Social policy and disability

, 2018
In this chapter I will explore the relationship between UK social policy and the experience of disability. From the outset I must make it clear that when I refer to disability I am not talking about an embodied condition or characteristic. Instead I use the word to refer to an oppressive social relationship experienced by people with physical, sensory,
