Self-drying: a gecko's innate ability to remove water from wet toe pads. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
When the adhesive toe pads of geckos become wet, they become ineffective in enabling geckos to stick to substrates. This result is puzzling given that many species of gecko are endemic to tropical environments where water covered surfaces are ubiquitous.

Cooptimized Sensing and Sole Mechanics Enable Embodied‐Intelligence Design of User‐Specific Smart Footwear

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An embodied codesign framework for smart footwear is presented, jointly tuning lattice mechanics and sensing for personalized plantar pressure monitoring. By integrating pneumatic sensing within 3D‐printed lattice soles, the system achieves accurate real‐time centre‐of‐pressure tracking with reduced sensor count and energy demand, demonstrating how ...

Long‐Term Follow Up of Two Patients With Variants in the Cluster 1031‐1159 of TRRAP Gene: Expanding the Phenotype of Developmental Delay With or Without Dysmorphic Facies and Autism

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transformation/transcription domain‐associated protein (TRRAP) gene encodes a large multidomain protein, a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase‐related kinase (PIKK) family. TRRAP is a component of the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex, and it plays an important role in gene transcription, DNA repair, and cell‐cycle regulation.

The dynamic characteristics of the center of pressure for toe-out gait: implications for footwear design

open access: yesJournal of Leather Science and Engineering, 2022
Background Toe-out gait is often used as a conservative technique to reduce knee adduction moment, which has been targeted to modify knee osteoarthritis progression.

Diagnostic Odyssey of Atypical Long‐Chain 3‐Hydroxyacyl‐CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (LCHADD) Explained by Three Allelic Products From Two Pathogenic Variants

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐chain 3‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD) is an autosomal recessive mitochondrial defect of long‐chain fatty acid β‐oxidation, caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in HADHA or HADHB. We report a 22‐year‐old male with an atypically mild presentation of LCHADD who was referred to the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN ...

Foot loading is different in people with and without pincer nails: a case control study

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2015
Background Recent studies suggest that pincer nails are caused by lack of upward mechanical forces on the toe pad. However, clinically significant pincer nails are also often observed among healthy walkers.

Defining Features of Gabriele‐de Vries Syndrome in Adults: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gabriele‐de Vries syndrome (GADEVS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the YY1 gene. Like most rare genetic syndromes, the adult manifestations of GADEVS remain poorly defined. Here, we describe the oldest patient reported to date with GADEVS—a 63‐year‐old woman with a c.1177_1179del YY1 variant ...

Wearable Sensor-based Gait Classification in Idiopathic Toe Walking Adolescents

open access: yes, 2020
Idiopathic toe walking on the balls of the feet is commonly found in children. Many toddlers who are just beginning to walk show signs of toe walking, but when toe walking persists after two years of age, the child’s risk of falling increases as well as ...

Refining Domain‐Based Prognostication in DNM1 Encephalopathy: A Mild Phenotype Associated With a GTPase Domain Variant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DNM1 encephalopathy is a rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterized by a range of neurological and developmental manifestations. The typical phenotype is severe, including profound intellectual disability, treatment‐resistant epilepsy, ataxia, and structural brain abnormalities. However, milder presentations have increasingly been
