Staff members who care for the polytrauma population need diverse educational programs even if they have many years of experience working in the brain-injury rehabilitation field. This article explores key concepts that help guide rehabilitation nursing practice, strengthen clinical skills, increase family involvement, and identify educational resources.

Regulating carbon hybridization states lies at the heart of engineering carbon materials with tailored properties but orchestrating the sequential transition across three states has remained elusive. Here, we visiualize stepwise evolution in carbon hybridizations from sp³ to sp² and to sp states via dehydrogenation and elimination reactions of methylcyano-functionalized molecules on surfaces. Utilizing scanning probing microscopy, we distinguish three distinct carbon-carbon bond types within polymers induced by annealing at elevated temperatures.

Objective: During percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID), a range of technologies including medical robotics, visual navigation, and spatial registration have been proposed to expand the application scope and success rate of minimally invasive surgery. The use of robotic technology in surgery is conducive to improving accuracy and reducing risk. This study aims to introduce a precise and efficient targeting method tailored for robot-assisted positioning under C-arm fluoroscopy inPEID.

Research on the cerebellum and its functional organization has significantly expanded over the last decades, expanding our comprehension of its role far beyond motor control, including critical contributions to cognition and affective processing. Notably, the cerebellar lateralization mirrors contralateral brain lateralization, a complex phenomenon that remains unexplored, especially across different stages of life. The present work aims to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive scoping review of the lateralization of motor, cognitive, and affective functioning within the cerebellum across the lifespan.

Peptidisc-Assisted Hydrophobic Clustering Toward the Production of Multimeric and Multispecific Nanobody Proteins.

Biochemistry

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Life Sciences Institute, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z3, Canada.

Multimerization is a powerful engineering strategy for enhancing protein structural stability, diversity and functional performance. Typical methods for clustering proteins include tandem linking, fusion to self-assembly domains and cross-linking. Here we present a novel approach that leverages the Peptidisc membrane mimetic to stabilize hydrophobic-driven protein clusters.

Bioinspired coatings that mimic the adhesive properties of mussels have received considerable attention for surface modification applications. While polydopamine chemistry has been widely used to develop functional coatings, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (l-DOPA), a key component of mussel adhesive proteins, has received less attention because, compared to dopamine, it is relatively difficult to form effective coatings on solid substrates in mildly alkaline solutions. Although several methods have been explored to improve the efficiency of l-DOPA coatings, there is still a need to expand the l-DOPA-based surface chemistry.
