Enhancing prosthetic control through high-fidelity myoelectric mapping with molecular anchoring technology by Pan, Liang, Wang, Hui, Huang, Pingao, Wu, Xuwei, Tang, Zihan, Jiang, Ying, Ji, Shaobo, Cao, Jinwei, Ji, Baohua, Li, Guanglin, Li, Dechang, Wang, Zhiming, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Precise and agile control requires low-level myoelectric signals (below 10% of maximum voluntary contraction, MVC) from weak muscle contractions such as phantom finger or wrist movements, but imbalanced calcium concentration in atrophic skin can distort the signals. This is due to poor ionic-electronic coupling between skin and electrode, which often causes excessive muscle contraction, fatigue, and discomfort during delicate tasks. …”

Filamentation of a relativistic proton bunch in plasma by Verra, L, Amoedo, C, Torrado, N, Clairembaud, A, Mezger, J, Pannell, F, Pucek, J, van Gils, N, Bergamaschi, M, Zevi Della Porta, G, Lopes, N, Sublet, A, Turner, M, Gschwendtner, E, Muggli, P, Agnello, R, Ahdida, CC, Andrebe, Y, Apsimon, O, Apsimon, R, Arnesano, JM, Bencini, V, Blanchard, P, Burrows, PN, Buttenschön, B, Caldwell, A, Chung, M, Cooke, DA, Davut, C, Demeter, G, Dexter, AC, Doebert, S, Farmer, J, Fasoli, A, Fonseca, R, Furno, I, Granados, E, Granetzny, M, Graubner, T, Grulke, O, Guran, E, Henderson, J, Kedves, MÁ, Kraus, F, Krupa, M, Lefevre, T, Liang, L, Liu, S, Lotov, K, Pakuza, C, Ramjiawan, RL, Spear, B

“…We determine a threshold value for the ratio between the bunch transverse size and plasma skin depth for the instability to occur. At the threshold, the outcome of the experiment alternates between filamentation and self-modulation instability (evidenced by longitudinal modulation into microbunches). …”

The retinoid agonist Tazarotene promotes angiogenesis and wound healing by Al Haj Zen, A, Nawrot, DA, Howarth, AL, Caporali, A, Ebner, D, Vernet, A, Schneider, JE, Bhattacharya, S

“…Notably, in ear punch wound healing model, Tazarotene promoted tissue repair characterized by rapid ear punch closure with normal-appearing skin containing new hair follicles, and maturing collagen fibers. …”

Vitamin D in Gambian children with discordant tuberculosis (TB) infection status despite matched TB exposure: a case control study by Stockdale, L, Sambou, B, Sissoko, M, Egere, U, Sillah, AK, Kampmann, B, Basu Roy, R

“…Using a matched case control design conducted at MRC Gambia in 2015, we measured vitamin D levels in pairs of asymptomatic children with discordant tuberculin skin test status despite the same sleeping proximity to the same adult TB index case. …”

Cardiocutaneous syndrome is caused by aggregation of iASPP mutants by Lotz, R, Osterburg, C, Schäfer, B, Lu, X, Dötsch, V

“…Germline mutations in iASPP have been shown to cause cardiocutaneous syndromes, a combination of heart and skin defects usually leading to death before the age of five. …”

Rationale and concerns for using JAK inhibitors in axial spondyloarthritis by Ahmed, S, Yesudian, R, Ubaide, H, Coates, LC

“…It is initially manifested by inflammatory back pain and can be associated with inflammation in other body parts, such as the eyes, bowel and skin. Treatment options have advanced over recent years and have become more targeted, including biologic treatments and, more recently, small molecule oral drugs called Janus kinase inhibitors. …”

Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”

Metal mediated high performance antimicrobial hydrogel films for wound infection management: Zn, Cu, and Mg versus Ag and Au by Sen, Raj Kumar., Prabhakar, Priyanka, Mayandi, Venkatesh, Dwivedi, Neeraj, Yadav, Amit K., Solanki, Pratima R., Gupta, Ayush, Gowri, V. S., Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani, Verma, Navin Kumar, Mondal, D. P., Srivastava, Avanish Kumar, Dhand, Chetna

“…While silver-based materials have emerged as potential alternatives to antibiotics in wound care management, they are expensive (gold is an even more expensive antimicrobial agent), and their excessive use may promote silver-resistant microbial strains, and skin argyrosis. Furthermore, excessive wound exudate causes conventional wound dressings to become moistened and painful to remove due to adhesion to the wound. …”
