Reduced opioids after total joint replacement surgery (REPAIRS): a pilot randomized controlled trial

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Opioid analgesics are commonly used for controlling pain after total knee or hip replacement. However, it is unclear how much opioid should be prescribed at discharge after total hip and knee replacement surgery to optimize pain management but

Autonomous Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.

Multifunctional Bioactive Coatings Based on Bioglass, Vitamin D3, and Melittin Deposited via MAPLE for Enhanced Osseointegration, Antibacterial Activity, and Corrosion Resistance of Titanium Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Matrix‐Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) technique is used to cover titanium (Ti) substrates with multifunctional bioactive coatings composed of bioglass, vitamin D3, and melittin. Coatings exhibited excellent chemical integrity and favorable micro/nanostructured morphology (promoting cellular adhesion and viability), and a sustained release of

Disruption of Sulfur Metabolism and Redox Homeostasis in Staphylococcus aureus Using Mechanically Robust Antibiofilm Ti‐Bi Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Titanium (Ti) and bismuth (Bi) are selected as alloying elements for the preparation of the Ti‐Bi binary alloy system. Biofilm formation is found to be inhibited by bismuth through the disruption of sulfur metabolism and redox homeostasis, as well as through the direct downregulation of biofilm‐associated proteins.

Electrolyte‐Jet 3D Printing of Copper‐Based Strain Sensors for Physiological Signal Monitoring and Robotic Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electrolyte‐jet (EJ) 3D printing turns copper ions into precisely arranged copper microspheres, which combine with flexible polymers and carbon nanomaterials to create durable, high‐sensitivity sensors. These sensors accurately monitor human motion and physiological signals. Real‐time robotic hand control via gesture mirroring demonstrates an intuitive
