Artificially Weaved Textile‐like Surface Micromachined Graphene‐Polymer Flexible Bioelectrodes
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study reports on the engineering of microscale textured surfaces of SU‐8/PMMA polymer composites much like a “weft‐warp” pattern to resemble “artificially‐weaved” textiles. These microstructured surfaces enable conformal layering of functional reduced graphene oxide (rGO), all‐in‐all offering favorable features including remarkable self ...

Development of a Machine Learning Model and Mobile Application to Aid in Predicting Dosage of Vitamin K Antagonists Among Indian Patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Patients who undergo mechanical heart valve replacements or have conditions like Atrial Fibrillation have to take Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) drugs to prevent coagulation of blood. These drugs have narrow therapeutic range and need to be very closely monitored due to life threatening side effects.

Overview of general physiologic features and functions of vitamin D.
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2004 Vitamin D3 is a prohormone produced in skin through ultraviolet irradiation of 7-dehydrocholesterol. It is biologically inert and must be metabolized to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in the liver and then to 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the kidney before ...
