Bamboo Medical Application: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review presents a structured classification of bamboo's current use in healthcare. It organizes applications into medical textiles and medical devices, with further divisions based on function and level of invasiveness. It also examines material utilization based on bamboo's structural role, highlighting how it supports both protective and ...

SENSORY REGRESSION TIME FROM SUBARACHNOID BLOCK WITH HYPERBARIC 0.75% BUPIVACAINE IN THE OBESE PATIENT [PDF]

, 1989
The purpose of this study was to determine if obese patients have a different sensory regression time from subarachnoid block than non-obese patients using hyperbaric 0.75% bupivacaine. A quasi-experimental design was used. Twenty patients were separated

Toward Wireless Implantable Robotic Systems Driven by Magnetic Field for Personalized Therapy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic materials are playing an increasingly vital role in enabling sensing and actuation at small scales. This perspective highlights recent advances in magnetic materials and magnetically actuated devices for wireless sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting toward implantable robotic systems for closed‐loop therapy.

The Colour Changes In Lizards, Particularly In Phrynosoma [PDF]

, 1938
The activities of the melanophore system of Phrynosoma in comparison with that of Chamaeleo may be stated categorically in the following way. I. The blanching of Phrynosoma blainvillii is due (1) to the action of its concentrating nerve-fibres on ...

Treatment of spinal cord injury, by restoration of neuronal networks using a combination of surgery and KCL-286, an orally available retinoic acid receptor β drug

Frontiers in Surgery
The most complicated nerve injuries occur in the spinal nerves. Following traumatic injury at the nerve root attachment to the spinal cord (avulsion), there is degeneration of nerve fibres in the root and spinal cord.

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Intradural Communication of L3 and L4 Ventral Nerve Rootlets of Spinal Nerves

Siriraj Medical Journal, 2004
Normally, the nerve roots within the dural sec never communicate with one another. Even the fusion of the ventral and dorsal nerve roots to form the spinal nerve occurs outside the dural sac.

Piezo2 Mediates a Vicious Cycle of “Mechanical Homeostasis Imbalance—Inflammation” in Sensory Nerves and the Cartilage Endplate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In a lumbar spine instability model, dorsal root ganglion cells mediate the perception of relevant mechanical stresses through Piezo2 and subsequently release CGRP. CGRP activates the NF‐κB signaling pathway in cartilage endplate cells through the receptor RAMP1.

Exercise training promotes nerve cell repair and regeneration after spinal cord injury

Neural Regeneration Research
Spinal cord injury is a severe neurological condition characterized by the permanent loss of nerve cell function and a failure in neural circuit reconstruction—key factors contributing to disability.
