Reversible Humidity Sensitive Clothing for Personal Thermoregulation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Two kinds of humidity-induced, bendable smart clothing have been designed to reversibly adapt their thermal insulation functionality. The first design mimics the pores in human skin, in which pre-cut flaps open to produce pores in Nafion sheets when ...

Weathering the storms of climate change: Preparing persons with disabilities and the physiatrists who provide their care for extreme hurricanes

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate‐driven disasters have disproportionate and often devastating consequences on individuals with disabilities. Warming ocean and air temperatures are fueling more extreme tropical cyclones, further endangering those living in at‐risk regions.

Temperature Controlled and Monitored Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion System for Research and Training Purposes

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2019
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a preservation method for donor lungs, which keep lungs viable in a physiological environment outside of a body for a short period of time. EVLP is established clinically for lung transplantation.

Chronic alcohol consumption decreases brown adipose tissue mass and disrupts thermoregulation: a possible role for altered retinoid signaling

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Retinoic acid, an active metabolite of dietary vitamin A, acts as a ligand for nuclear receptor transcription factors with more than 500 known target genes. It is becoming increasingly clear that alcohol has a significant impact on cellular retinoic acid

A socioecological approach to understanding and positively affecting the intersectionality between disability, race and ethnicity, climate change, and rehabilitation outcomes: A scoping review

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Health care outcomes for people with disability may be disproportionately affected by climate change through multiple interlinked factors, which are not well understood. Objective With use of scoping review methodology, this study aimed to model this intersectionality using socioecological (SE) levels to connect person‐level ...

The exercise sex gap and the impact of the estrous cycle on exercise performance in mice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Exercise physiology is different in males and females. Females are poorly studied due to the complexity of the estrous cycle and this bias has created an exercise sex gap.

Help from the past to cope with the future: Vitis sylvestris as a resource for abiotic stress resilience

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Viticulture is facing increasing challenges due to climate change. The focus on fast growth and sweet berries has come at the expense of stress resilience. Grafting onto Phylloxera‐resistant rootstocks from American species has been the most successful form of ecological pest management.
