An extrusion‐based technique to engineer a stiffness gradient interphase material that seamlessly bridges soft‐to‐hard interface without strain localization in multimaterial systems is presented. The gradient is obtained by spatial control of the distribution of reinforcing expandable microspheres in polydimethylsiloxane.

The validity of teledentistry examinations during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Sydney, Australia
Abstract Background During the COVID‐19 pandemic, non‐urgent dental treatments were deferred. To identify and prioritize urgent dental patients, teledentistry was implemented across NSW public dental services. This study aimed to establish the validity of teledentistry examinations to provide a clinical diagnosis compared to face‐to‐face, clinical ...

Enhancing Kidney Quality Assessment: Power Doppler During Normothermic Machine Perfusion
Power Doppler imaging was evaluated as a non‐invasive tool for assessing kidney quality during normothermic machine perfusion. Power Doppler metrics demonstrated high accuracy in identifying kidneys with low function and viability (Group 2), highlighting its potential to enhance transplant decision‐making when integrated with existing assessment ...
