The ability to "switch on" adhesion between a thin hydrogel and a biological tissue can be useful in biomedical applications such as surgery. One way to accomplish this is with an electric field, a phenomenon termed electroadhesion (EA). Here, it is shown that cationic gels can be adhered by EA to tissues across all of biology.

Article Synopsis
  • Suprascapular nerve decompression (SSND) has been a debated surgical procedure, with earlier studies indicating good outcomes, but recent evidence showing limited benefits when added to other surgeries.
  • This systematic review analyzed 33 studies involving 730 patients to assess patient outcomes after SSND, focusing on clinical improvements, return to sports, and potential complications.
  • Results demonstrated significant postoperative improvements in multiple shoulder assessment scores, with 98% of patients returning to their previous level of activity, although 12% still reported ongoing symptoms.
