Noninvasive compression-induced anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL-R) is an easy and reproducible model for studying post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in mice. However, equipment typically used for ACL-R is expensive, immobile, and not available to all researchers. In this study, we compared PTOA progression in mice injured with a low-cost ...

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic made it necessary to practice social distancing and limited in-person encounters in health care. These restrictions created alternative opportunities to enhance patient access to care in the ambulatory setting. We hypothesized that by transforming clinics into centers that prioritize pr...

Objective: Cochlear implant signal processing strategies define the rules of how acoustic signals are converted into electrical stimulation patterns. Technological and anatomical limitations, however, impose constraints on the signal transmission and the accurate excitation of the auditory nerve. Acoustic signals are degraded throughout cochlear im...

This study explored the feasibility of using fish skin bandages as a therapeutic option for third-degree skin burns. Following the California wildfires, clinical observations of animals with third-degree skin burns demonstrated increased comfort levels and reduced pain when treated with tilapia fish skin. Despite the promises of this therapy, there...

Tensegrity structures are composed of stiff rods and elastic cables suspended in a flexible tension network. Their inherent properties have several key advantages when used in assistive medical devices such as supportive braces or rehabilitation exoskeletons: 1) the lightweight and natural compliance reduces the power consumption required to operat...

BackgroundTargeted alpha-particle therapy (TAT) has great promise as a cancer treatment. Arguably the most promising TAT radionuclide that has been proposed is 225 Ac. The development of 225 Ac-based radiopharmaceuticals has been hampered due to the lack of effective means to study the daughter redistribution of these agents in small animals at the...

PurposeTo investigate high-resolution hyperpolarized (HP) 13 C pyruvate MRI for measuring cerebral perfusion in the human brain.MethodsHP [1-13 C]pyruvate MRI was acquired in five healthy volunteers with a multi-resolution EPI sequence with 7.5 × 7.5 mm2 resolution for pyruvate. Perfusion parameters were calculated from pyruvate MRI using block-cir...

Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and PEEK composites are outstanding candidates for biomedical applications, such as orthopedic devices, where biocompatibility and modulus match with surrounding tissue are requisite for long-term success. The mechanical properties can be optimized by incorporating fillers such as continuous and chopped carbon fibers....

article funded by the Collegium Musicae of Sorbonne University. / The practice of a musical instrument requires fine dexterity, repetitive, fast, and precise movements, as well as important efforts to set the instrument into vibration, while adopting postures often unnatural for the human body. As a result, musicians are often subject to pain and m...

The misuse of cannabinoids and their synthetic variants poses significant threats to public health, necessitating the development of advanced techniques for detection of these compounds in biological or environmental samples. Existing methods face challenges like lengthy sample pretreatment and laborious antifouling steps. Herein, we present a nove...
