Imaging patterns of lower extremity injuries in victims of intimate partner violence (IPV)
Recurrent injuries of the foot and ankle, synchronous craniofacial injuries, and upper extremity injuries in young women (
Light‐Controlled Growth Factors Release on Tetrapodal ZnO‐Incorporated 3D‐Printed Hydrogels for Developing Smart Wound Scaffold
Advanced wound scaffolds that integrate active substances to treat chronic wounds have gained significant recent attention. While wound scaffolds and advanced functionalities have previously been incorporated into one medical device, the wirelessly triggered release of active substances has remained the…
Comparison of Acellular Solutions for Ex-situ Perfusion of Amputated Limbs
Hypothermic ex-situ machine perfusion (MP) has been shown to be a promising alternative to static cold storage (SCS) for preservation of solid organs for transplantation and vascularized composite allotransplantation. Source: Oxford Academic
Neural interfacing architecture enables enhanced motor control and residual limb functionality postamputation
Despite advancements in prosthetic technologies, patients with amputation today suffer great diminution in mobility and quality of life. We have developed a modified below-knee amputation (BKA) procedure that incorporates agonist–antagonist myoneural interfaces (AMIs), which surgically preserve and couple agonist– antagonist…
This injury may signal domestic violence, study warns
Approximately one-third of domestic violence victims may suffer from a specific type of fracture to the forearm, which underscores the need for proper screenings, per a news release. Source: FOX News

Perspective on optical imaging for functional assessment in musculoskeletal extremity trauma surgery
A reliable assessment of tissue viability is critical to effectively treating patients who sustain traumatic extremity injury. Despite their relatively inert appearance, bone, tendons, and ligaments are, physiologically speaking, highly active. Bones, specifically, receive ∼10% of the entire cardiac output…
