To examine the dissolution kinetics of enteric coatings in vivo a test system with riboflavine was developed. This system allows to realize the beginning of disintegration in the small gut because riboflavine is excreted in urine already within 1 h after ingestion, and to locate the area of dissolution of the tablet in vivo, because riboflavine absorption is reduced in the great gut and colon. Thus the test system allows to examine and improve coating compositions in vivo and to demonstrate changes of drug dissolution in vivo conditioned by storage of enteric coated pharmaceuticals.

Background: Digital health innovations provide an opportunity to improve access to care, information, and quality of care during the perinatal period, a critical period of health for mothers and infants. However, research to develop perinatal digital health solutions needs to be informed by actual patient and health system needs in order to optimize implementation, adoption, and sustainability.

Objective: Our aim was to co-design a research agenda with defined research priorities that reflected health system realities and patient needs.

Designing Health Recommender Systems to Promote Health Equity: A Socioecological Perspective.

J Med Internet Res

January 2025

Department High-Tech Business and Entrepreneurship Section, Industrial Engineering and Business Information Systems, University of Twente, Enschede, Overijssel, Netherlands.

Health recommender systems (HRS) have the capability to improve human-centered care and prevention by personalizing content, such as health interventions or health information. HRS, an emerging and developing field, can play a unique role in the digital health field as they can offer relevant recommendations, not only based on what users themselves prefer and may be receptive to, but also using data about wider spheres of influence over human behavior, including peers, families, communities, and societies. We identify and discuss how HRS could play a unique role in decreasing health inequities.

A Quantitative First Passage Time Model for Tubular Microfluidic Immunoassays.

ACS Sens

January 2025

Institute of Biomedical and Health Engineering, Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China.

Solid-phase immunosorbent reactions, such as ELISA, are widely used for detecting, identifying, and quantifying protein markers. However, traditional centimeter scale well-based immunoreactors suffer from low surface-to-volume (S/V) ratios, leading to large sample consumption and a long assay time. Microfluidic technologies, particularly tubular microfluidic immunoreactors, have emerged as promising alternatives due to their high S/V ratios.

Extremal structures with embedded prefailure indicators.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

February 2025

Department of Construction Sciences, Lund University, Lund SE-22100, Sweden.

Preemptive identification of potential failure under loading of engineering structures is a critical challenge. Our study presents an innovative approach to design built-in prefailure indicators within multiscale structural designs with optimized load carrying capabilities utilizing the design freedom of topology optimization. The indicators are engineered to visibly signal load conditions approaching the global critical buckling load at predefined locations.
