Published: February 2016

We construct an array-based recognition system (the so-called artificial tongue) through the self-assembly of nucleotides, dyes and lanthanide ions. Metal ions are selected as model analytes for verifying its discrimination ability. The work provides valuable insights into the application and development of biomolecule-based materials.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) composite hydrogels have recently emerged as promising candidates for soft hydrogel actuators. However, developing a facile and fast method to obtain multifunctional PNIPAM hydrogel actuators with simulating biological versatility remains a major challenge. Herein, we developed a fast-redox initiation system to prepare PNIPAM/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/TCT MXene nanocomposite hydrogel with multidirectional actuating behaviors and improved mechanical properties.

The adaptable, modular structure of muscles, combined with their confluent energy storage allows for numerous architectures found in nature: trunks, tongues, and tentacles to name some more complex ones. To provide an artificial analog to this biological soft muscle, a self-powered, soft hydrostat actuator is presented. As an example of how to use these modules, a worm robot is assembled where the near totality of the body stores electrochemical potential.

Objective: This preliminary study tested whether non-invasive, remote Elastic Scattering Spectroscopy (ESS) measurements obtained in the oral cavity can be used as a proxy to accurately differentiate between patients with laryngeal cancer versus laryngeal leukoplakia.

Methods: 20 patients with laryngeal lesions [cancer (n = 10),leukoplakia (n = 10)] were clinically assessed and categorized by otolaryngologists per standard clinical practice. Patient demographics of age, race, sex, and smoking history were collected.

Background: Determining the benign or malignant status of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPN) with intermediate malignancy risk is a significant clinical challenge. Oral microbiota-lung cancer interactions have qualified oral microbiota as a promising non-invasive predictive biomarker in IPN.

Materials And Methods: Prospectively collected saliva, throat swabs, and tongue coating samples from 1040 IPN patients and 70 healthy controls across three hospitals.

Objective: It is important to cover energy targets among patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) to minimize weight and skeletal muscles loss. This study aimed to assess the agreement between indirect calorimetry (IC) and predictive equations for determining resting energy expenditures (REE) in HNC patients receiving home enteral nutrition (HEN).

Research Methods And Procedures: Patients included in the study had to be diagnosed with HNC, be adults, have artificial access to the digestive tract, and participate in HEN.
