Ambulation has proven to be an important part of recovery for medical-surgical patients. This study provides original research on the use of a platform apparatus for ambulation of patients on a medical-surgical unit. Outcomes included number of ambulation attempts, distance of ambulation, length of hospital stay, number of staff necessary to ambulate, and discharge destination. Compared with a control group, patients who had access to the ambulation platform apparatus had a shorter length of stay with fewer nurses and other staff needed to ambulate. Staff rated ambulation with the apparatus as easier than without and noted that patients were more willing to ambulate on their own with the ambulation platform apparatus.

Impedance-based biosensing has emerged as a critical technology for high-sensitivity biomolecular detection, yet traditional approaches often rely on bulky, costly impedance analyzers, limiting their portability and usability in point-of-care applications. Addressing these limitations, this paper proposes an advanced biosensing system integrating a Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor (SiNW-FET) biosensor with a high-gain amplification circuit and a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) implemented on FPGA hardware. This attempt combines SiNW-FET biosensing technology with FPGA-implemented deep learning noise reduction, creating a compact system capable of real-time viral detection with minimal computational latency.

Civil infrastructure assets' contribution to countries' economic growth is significantly increasing due to the rapid population growth and demands for public services. These civil infrastructures, including roads, bridges, railways, tunnels, dams, residential complexes, and commercial buildings, experience significant deterioration from the surrounding harsh environment. Traditional methods of visual inspection and non-destructive tests are generally undertaken to monitor and evaluate the structural health of the infrastructure.

The rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria remains a significant challenge in clinical microbiology. Consequently, the demand for simple and rapid techniques, such as antimicrobial peptide (AMP)-based sensors, has recently increased as an alternative to traditional methods. Melittin, a broad-spectrum AMP, rapidly associates with the cell membranes of various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Photonic manipulation of large-capacity data with the advantages of high speed and low power consumption is a promising solution for explosive growth demands in the era of post-Moore. A well-developed lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform has been widely explored for high-performance electro-optic (EO) modulators to bridge electrical and optical signals. However, the photonic waveguides on the x-cut LNOI platform suffer serious polarization-mode conversion/coupling issues because of strong birefringence, making it hard to realize large-scale integration.
