This study aims to address this challenge by developing a hydrogel for convenient insertion into the root canal system, securely attaching to dentin walls.

Predicting deterioration in dengue using a low cost wearable for continuous clinical monitoring.

Close vital signs monitoring is crucial for the clinical management of patients with dengue. We investigated performance of a non-invasive wearable utilising photoplethysmography (PPG), to provide real-time risk prediction in hospitalised individuals. We performed a prospective observational clinical study in Vietnam between January 2020 and October 2022: 153 patients were included in analyses, providing 1353 h of PPG data.
