Wearable Morphology‐Adaptive in‐Ear Device With Active Cleansing Capability for Multimodal Health Monitoring

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present SCIENCE, an in‐ear multimodal physiological monitor featuring two key innovations. Water‐triggered morphological expansion (a 2‐mm cylinder to a 9‐mm spindle) achieves conformal adaptation across complex canal geometries. Simultaneously, active biofouling mitigation disrupts cerumen barriers, reducing sensor‐skin impedance by 20%.

Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

Therapy of swallowing and speech problem in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo
Introduction. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare form of neurodegenerative extrapyramidal disease. In addition to symmetrical parkinsonism, early falls, and non-reactivity to dopaminomimetic therapy, the disease also manifests as swallowing ...

Flexible Pressure Sensor With Co‐Optimized Sensitivity and Linearity Based on Gradient Toroidal Microstructures

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor with gradient toroidal CNT/PDMS microstructures is reported. The hierarchical geometry enables sequential electrode contact, achieving a sensitivity of 256.20 kPa−1 and linear response (R2 = 0.99) over 0–1000 kPa.

DISHphagia and DISHphonia DISHguised as a stroke

Journal of Nature and Science of Medicine, 2020
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a noninflammatory condition that usually affects the elderly patients with several metabolic derangements. It is characterized by symptoms that mimic more sinister conditions such as stroke or malignancy.

Analysis of videofluoroscopic variables affecting swallowing safety and efficiency in ophl patients [PDF]

, 2018
Open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL) could represent a valuable alternative to total laryngectomy for selected laryngeal carcinoma. In long-term, occasional aspiration ranges from 12.9 to 67% after OPHL [1].

A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes
