Seamlessly fusing fashion and functionality can redefine wearable technology and enhance the quality of life. We propose a pocketable and smart electrohydrodynamic pump (PSEP) with self-sensing capability for wearable thermal controls. Overcoming the constraints of traditional liquid-cooled wearables, PSEP with dimensions of 10 × 2 × 1.

- The study examines the role and clinical significance of veno-muscular complex (VMC) found in kidney biopsies, focusing on its variants and their prognostic value in kidney disease.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective study involving 246 patients who had VMC in their biopsy specimens, analyzing the impact of inflammatory-VMC and VMC hypertrophy on kidney function.
- Results indicated a negative correlation between eGFR and both VMC variants, with inflammatory-VMC being associated with a higher risk of kidney decline, suggesting its importance as a potential prognostic marker.
