ABSTRACT Purpose The feasibility and reproducibility of adapting the T2‐Relaxation‐Under‐Spin‐Tagging (TRUST) MRI sequence for noninvasive measurement of venous oxygenation in the upper arm were investigated, aiming to enable future in vivo validation of T2b‐oxygenation calibration curves in sickle cell disease (SCD).

Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

ABSTRACT Introduction Differentiating bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) from detrusor underactivity (DU) remains a major unmet need in the management of lower urinary tract symptoms in men. Although pressure–flow urodynamics provide a definitive physiological classification, their invasiveness limits their widespread use.

ABSTRACT Objective High‐fat diet represses Ceacam1 transcription via a PPARα‐mediated mechanism to cause insulin resistance before inflammation develops. The current study investigated whether mutating PPRE‐RXRα in Ceacam1 promoter prevents diet‐induced metabolic abnormalities and hepatic fibrosis in male C57BL6/J mice.
