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.

This study aims to examine the outcomes following PPP.
Methods: A retrospective, single-institution study was performed examining female patients with rectovestibular fistula who underwent PPP between January /2020 and December 2023.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of stepstool use on chest compression (CC) quality during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in young children.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of children <8 years of age who received CC for >2 minutes in the emergency department. Data were collected through CC monitor device and video review.
