Multifunctional Fibrous Mats: Stretchable, Conductive, and Hydrophilic Platforms for Wearable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A hydrophilic, stretchable, nonwoven electrospun fiber mat targeted to be applied in long‐term bioelectronic devices. By incorporating amphiphilic polyethylene glycol block copolymers in a polydimethylsiloxane matrix, the material develops stable hydrophilicity, enhanced breathability, as well as enhanced adhesion to cells.

A retrospective, observational, single-centre, cohort database analysis of the haemodynamic effects of low-dose spinal anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery

open access: yesBJA Open
Background: Careful administration of either spinal (intrathecal) or general anaesthesia probably has a greater impact on outcomes after hip fracture surgery than which method is used per se. Intraoperative hypotension is associated with poorer outcomes,

Lightweight and High‐Performance Ankle Braces Enabled by 3D Printed Metamaterial Liquid Crystal Polymer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible, lightweight ankle brace made from 3D‐printed liquid crystal polymer metamaterials offers targeted support without restricting movement. Programmable stiffness provides protection during risky motions. Biomechanical tests suggest performance comparable to commercial braces with reduced bulk, highlighting potential for broader orthotic ...
