In developing nations like India, chronic otitis media (COM) is a common middle ear ailment that has serious ramifications for both hearing and quality of life. Long-term inflammation of middle ear cavity and tympanic membrane are the hallmarks of COM, which can result in consequences like facial paralysis, labyrinthitis, hearing loss, and potentially fatal cerebral abscesses. The effect of COM on vestibular function is still unknown.

Designing biomimetic substrates and electrodes for bioelectronic devices with the necessary mechanical, electrical, and biological properties is critical considering the potential mismatch between soft tissue and rigid electronics, where incompatibility leads to decreased device performance, delamination, inflammation, and discomfort. There is an unmet engineering and clinical need for epidermal bioelectronics that are bioinert, can emulate host tissue mechanical properties, demonstrate low bulk resistivity, and are flexible and scalable. To address this shortcoming, this work describes innovations pertaining to the development of a hydrophilic, biocompatible nanocomposite comprised of carbon black (CB), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and glycerol for neuro-muscular and rehabilitative applications.

Objective: To compare the 2017 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine cannabis report to state medical cannabis (MC) laws defining approved qualifying conditions (QC) from 2017 and 2024 and to determine the evidence level of the QCs approved in each state.
Patients And Methods: The 2017 National Academies of Sciences (NAS) report assessed therapeutic evidence for over 20 medical conditions treated with MC. We identified the QCs of 38 states (including Washington DC) where MC was legal in 2024 and compared them to the QCs listed by these states in 2017.
