Multi-Scale Robotics: A Numerical Investigation on Mobile Micro-Tweezers for Micro-Manipulation with Extreme Requirements.
Micromachines (Basel)
December 2024
An automated micro-tweezers system with a flexible workspace would benefit the intelligent sorting of live cells. Such micro-tweezers could employ a forced vortex strong enough to capture a single cell. Furthermore, addressable control of the position to the vortex would constitute a robotic system.

- The Semmelweis Study in Hungary aims to address the public health challenges of unhealthy aging in the EU by examining the factors that contribute to age-related diseases, particularly vascular cognitive impairment (VCI).
- The pilot study involved 49 participants aged 23 to 87, assessing cognitive performance and vascular health through various advanced imaging techniques and tests.
- The analysis showed a correlation between vascular health indices, age, and cognitive performance, suggesting that a better understanding of this relationship could lead to new insights on healthy aging.
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic affected adolescents' mental health diversely.
Methods: Our objective was to examine the one-year change in well-being (WHO-5 well-being index) and self-esteem (Rosenberg self-esteem scale) among secondary school students affected by school lockdown (lockdown group) compared to control students unaffected by the pandemic (pre-pandemic group), utilizing data from a longitudinal survey study conducted in Hungary. We used linear mixed models stratified by sex and adjusted for family structure and family communication.
Aims: To estimate prevalence of diagnosed (dDM) and undiagnosed diabetes (uDM) in Hungary and investigate determinants of uDM.
Methods: Data was obtained from the nationally representative H-UNCOVER study. As laboratory measurements were available for 11/19 Hungarian counties, n = 5,974/17,787 people were eligible.
Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed 91 lupus nephritis patients to identify predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), finding that age, neutrophil count, and diastolic blood pressure were significant risk factors.
- * The newly proposed CANDE model uses these factors to assess MACE risk, highlighting the need for better cardiovascular screening and management in SLE patients.
